Celebrate San Diego!

by Betty Alofs
(San Diego, CA)

After moving to San Diego from the East Coast, I fell in love with the weather, sights, ocean, and the many attractions.

I decided to design a quilt to Celebrate San Diego.

After making the quilt (a pictorial applique quilt), friends encouraged me to market and sell the patterns. I have gone on to design and create "San Francisco!", "Washington, DC.", "Aloha Hawaii", "California Missions", "TEXAS!" and many individual one block wall hangings like "You've Got Mail!" (from a photo of a side street in Ramona lined with mailboxes), and the Star of India.



If you enjoyed this quilt, please do let the quilter know by posting your comments. And if you've got one to share, don't be shy, we'd love to see it!

Your joy of living in West Coast just radiates from your work.

I am sure everyone who sees your quilt must feel that. Your happiness is there, almost tangible.

I am very impressed. Really! Congratulations!
Blessings, Ivan from easy-drawings-and-sketches.com
