Trip to Alabama ~ Part 2

At this rate J&J will have moved from Alabama before I finish posting about my trip there ~ But hey, I'm working on it. Today I finally finished the basket for Nathaniel's class for the Quest Fest. I have to say, it turned out better than I thought it would and the final value of the basket was over $400 so not too shabby. Julianne's class ended up with 2 baskets because we got enough stuff from Kennedy Space Center to make up it's own basket worth $250. Tomorrow I will finish up the other basket for her class which is also valued at about $400. I really hope these make some good money for the school.
So, back to the trip. Thursday morning my sister Joey and my niece Danielle drove over J&J's to see me and I got to give my niece this quilt I made for her little baby bump. Just so you know, those are yo-yo's made by Julianne on the cornerstones.
I've been wanted to do a sunflower quilt and had been saving up some yellow/gold fq's but the baby's room is in pink/turq/green and lots of polka dots so I pulled together a bunch of pinks and went for it. It was great to see both of them. The last time I saw them was at Jen's wedding and there was so much to do and so many people to see that I felt like I didn't get to spend enough quality time with anyone ~ so this was really nice. We hung out outside for a while and played frisby with the pups. We watched some of Jens wedding video and the photo slide Jen did for me for my birthday a couple of years ago. Later that night we went out to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Here we are ... My daughter Jen, my sister Joey, Me and my niece Danielle.
All in all it was a really good day. Stayed tuned for tomorrow's post where we go to Tuscaloosa!
So, How was your day?
