Climate Change

It’s all around us. Drought. Floods. Hotter. Colder.

It affects people, but it also affects trees, and trees make a difference.  From the National Wildlife Federation’s web page: Trees are a truly beautiful part of the natural environment, but they are also amazingly efficient machines—constantly working to make Earth a healthier planet. But they’re not just part of the natural environment, they make our planned environments better.  And about that healthier part—trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. That’s why I decided to incorporate the Lewis structures for O2 and CO2.

As for my quilt, I don’t tend to compose symmetrically. This was a nice change. I hope you enjoy my whimsical piece about such a serious topic.

  1. Reminds me a little of Aztec designs. I love that you incorporated O2 and CO2 in the quilt. It makes me smile, feels alittle Dr. Suess-ish.

Tell us what you think.
