Sandra L. O’Brien wrote a good description of this piece in Great American Quilts 1990: "Thunder and Lightning is fabric expressionism at its best. Just as a thunderstorm demands your attention, so does Susan’s dynamic portrayal of the explosion of light and sound, seen and heard in a thunderstorm. Jagged bolts of lightning in narrow fabric strips cut across the background. Flashes of color penetrate the darkness with a knifelike quality. Susan’s fabric engineering is so effective, one can almost hear the rumbling and crackling."
