    I joined the club, then backed up two weeks later when I hit another finger! Mine required a tetanus injection and I lost my nail, but I didn't get blood on the quilt, so I was pretty happy about the lesson learned!

    Sounds like a really bad night! It must have hurt but always good when no blood gets on the quilt. Hope the finger heals quickly.

    I am so sorry about your finger. I know it must really hurt. I hope that your finger will feel better soon.

    OW! It hurts me to even think about that!

    Be careful of infection and I sure hope you've had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years.
    A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.

    Welcome to the club. I bounced the needle of my Aunt's sewing machine off my index finger when I was 14. I am happy to report I have not done it ever again!

    Ouch! I did the same thing but the needle didn't break. When I pulled my hand away, it pulled the needle through the side of my finger. Lots of blood was involved but it healed up nicely and didn't even scar.

    OMGsh! How dreadful!! I got squeamish when I read your account of the accident. I hope you are healing properly.
    One step at a time, always forward.

    Oh my goodness. the hair on the back of my neck just stood up as I read. Knock on wood, I have never done that with all the years I have quilted. Sorry for you for joining that group. Hope you heal quickly!!
