Windansea

When my sister hinted that she would like a small beach scene quilt for her birthday, I knew exactly which beach to create.  My family moved just one block from Windansea Beach in La Jolla while I was in junior high school.  This beautiful location is well known for surfers and the palm roofed shack that has stood on the shore since 1946.
My inspiration was a favorite photo I took in 2009 just as the sun was getting ready to set over the shack.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCIA!
