Alita Aldridge
Alita is a native Angelino and comes from a crafty family. She learned to sew from her mother, a very accomplished dressmaker, who started Alita making doll clothes and her own clothes at an early age. Alita took a break from sewing during her high school years and several decades of working and raising her daughters. After viewing some beautiful art quilts, a little over 10 years ago, she was inspired to make one and hence began her quilting journey. Please come visit our show and see her full story and her spectacular quilts!
