Did the needle only bend, or did it break? If it broke, try to find the pieces to be sure there isn't one lodged in your finger.
Good work on not getting blood on the quilt ;)

I feel your pain!! I am sure you washed it well, put antiseptic on it, bandaged it up and are probably sewing again (smile). Quilters are resilient.

The good thing is you only have to make this mistake once. You are so careful to make sure that your fingers stay out of the way. Watch for infection. I think tetanus shots are good now for 10 years. Here's to hoping that you feel better soon.

I was a nurse in my previous life so I think it will be fine. The edges are staying together well so far.
