I took a day trip (2 hour drive) to visit my sisters. I made my sister a quilt for her 50th birthday, but it was a little late and I finished it a few weeks ago. See my finishes post here. I had yet to deliver it to her. I gave it to her today, and made her take a picture with it.
We had a great day. We went to Downtown Alachua, FL and walked around looking in all the shops. There is a quilt shop there. I bought 2 half yard pieces of fabric and a wedge ruler. We ate lunch at The Ivy House, a neat restaurant located in a restored old home, that is on the national historical register. There are alot of cute gift shops, consignment stores, and antique stores on Main Street. Then we went back to my sister's house and sat on the porch talking and laughing, and soaking in the sunshine. It was a good day.

Looks like you had a blast with your family.
That really is a wonderful looking quilt- I bet your sister was chuffed!
I just know your sister loved the quilt...glad you all had a fun time.
Chuffed? That must be an Aussie word. Excited right? Thanks I loved the colors and so did she. She said it reminded her of sunshine and blue skys.
How nice that you live close enough to drive to visit. ;0
