Slow Sunday Stitching

It has been a wonderful day here! Our daughter's 34th birthday is today, so we met her and her husband in Columbus for brunch. We had a slow, leisurely meal at a lovely spot in Worthington - The Whitney House.

And I don't have a single picture to show for our great morning.

Since getting back home this afternoon, we watched the Indians take a win against the Orioles, and I proceeded to purge and straighten up my pantry closet. I had lots of very seriously expired food in that pantry.

So now here we are at the evening, and after I post this I intend to get comfy in front of some interesting Sunday night television with my needle, thread and Lake Effect hexies.

I took some time this week to lay out all the sections I've sewn together. It looks quite a mess, and it makes me wonder how it will ever come together. I have partial hexies to attach, for sure. I imagine I will actually even UNSEW some of these, even though I was sure I counted correctly when stitching them together. And I have a lot of papers to remove from the backs of all these hexies. That will be a job, won't it?

I am very close to turning my focus solely to the center section. I will cut the panel for the center applique piece, finally get down to work on the applique, and then stitch those hexies around the panel. That will be a HUGE step. I estimate that I could be completing this center section before I go back to school for fall semester. That could be my goal. Yes, I think that will be possible, so now let me see if I can accomplish it!

As usual, I am linking up with Kathy's Quilts and her Slow Sunday Stitching party.

Hope you have had a great Sunday!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
