A great day and a redo

Hi Everyone! I had a wonderful day today.

I spent the day with my sister's family.

We all went skating on a pond at a local conservation area.

Then, we took a walk in the woods. It was nice and sunny and cold.

 But there was no wind. It was great to get some fresh air.

Then we all went back to my sister's house to have hot chocolate and some lunch.

My sister's husband loves to bake.

So he got the kids to help him make some old fashioned home made donuts.

Hmmmmm!!!! They were so good.

We also played some games with the kids.

 I really needed to have a fun day like that, with no pressure.

It was a lovely day.

(Above: This is my woodland bloom quilt top as of today.)

Tonight, I worked on one of my Woodland Bloom quilt.

 This is one of the UFO's I was commited to finish this year.

I had made a quilt top with this fabric last year and I hated it.

I just couldn't work on it to finish it. It wasn't well put together.

It was just a mess in my opinion. So last week I took it apart.

Tonight I worked on getting the center panel of the quilt done.

 So now I just have to figure out what kind of border to use.

This is going to be a queen size quilt.

 My daughter has a double bed in her room and I like the quilt to hang down low.

So I hope you like the changes.

I like it a lot better now and I can't wait to be done.

Thanks to all of you who sent me well wishes the last couple of days.

 I was feeling really down. But things were much better today.

I have three more days off work. Yeah!!

I will be spending some really nice time with the kids.

They were so great today. I got lots of hugs.

So I'm going to keep taking it easy and doing some sewing.

Just enjoying every day.

Hugs Ariane
