Desert Monsoon

Desert dwellers rejoice when thunderclouds form over the mountains every afternoon during the summer months. Sometimes, if we are lucky, they bring much-needed rain; other times they bring not-so-needed dust storms; and often they bring dramatic thunder and lightning, too. This tiny quilt uses torn and ink-tinted repurposed rags to create thunderclouds and honor both the life-giving water from the sky and the giver of that gift.
