The Good News: I just finished my first attempt at applique and am very pleased with it (not going to get into how messed up it is though). :)
The Bad News: I just broke my second needle this week, which also happened to be my last. No more quilting for me until I make it to the store! :(

Congrats on the applique! Is it machine or hand? I only do fusible web applique where you blanket stitch the outer edge by machine.
Bummer about the needle. I can't get the needles I like locally so I tend to order a bunch so I'll never run out (hopefully).

Got to keep extra needles just for this. I have a "baby" tool box just for needles to sew with and for my machines. Sorry. It's a bummer I know. Glad you finsihed the quilt. Hope you post pictures. Happy quilting.

As far as broken needles go, I suppose it comes with the territory. :D

Glad you finished your first attempt at applique, but sorry about breaking your LAST needle!! I start to panic when I get low and go on a shopping trip to get stocked up again!! Hopefully you won't be out for very long!
