Design concept: Our planet earth, as well as each of the other planets in our solar system, has warmed by about 1°F over the last 100 years and we call this global warming.
Why this is happening has sparked a huge debate. Some scientists think it is a natural occurrence, that over millions of years the cycle from hot to cold and back again has happened many times, but
others think that it is the intervention of human endeavours which has put the planet in peril.
One thing's for sure, the climate shift has effected 'a change in the weather' & the 'weather patterns'.
My art quilt shows some of these patterns. The lines represent coastal inundation; the snowdrop shapes show the icicles in the atmosphere; the droplets of water denote how precious our water
is on planet earth and the stitch lines indicate the heavy rain we seem to be having.
