“ Storm at Sea” is a tribute to my late husband. He was in the Navy for 21 years. I had always planned to make him a quilt in this design because he had some real stories to tell about being at sea and the storms they sailed thru. If his things weren’t green – they had to be brown. He said 21 years of “blue” was enough!
My husband retired as a Navy Lt. Commander, his father sailed for the Merchant Marine from 1940 until the 70’s and hauled weapons during Viet Nam, his brother was in the Air Reserve and was on an scientific expedition to the South Pole when the ship he was riding sank, the youngest brother was Navy and served in the same Squadron as my husband. So, you can see that the Storm at Sea was a the only choice for this farmI also enjoy patterns that form illusions when observed from a different angle.
This is family land and he knew every rock personally. Most of them are in our retaining wall!
This barn quilt was painted by Beth Kern and Melissa Hurtig.
