Yesterday, I saw something and went, "wow, that would look really cool in a quilt." And, common sense abandoned me. As if I don't have enough UFOs (unfinished objects, not the flying saucer) around the house, I now have another quilt in progress. In case you are keeping track, that means that I have the 2012 charity quilt, the elk quilt, the Coca-Cola quilt, the purple quilt, the peacemakers quilt, and I think one other quilt in progress already, and here comes quilt number 7.
The good news is that I can make this one largely with scraps. While I'm not ready yet to show the overall design, I will say that it involves embroidery. I've been embroidering for years, but tonight I learned a new stitch: the open chain stitch. I like it...

And now, it is time to get some sleep. I started a new contract on Friday and after having five weeks off, getting up early has me tired out.
