A true quilting friend.....
 

While telling one of my quilting friends about cutting my finger with my rotary cutter (and needing 4 stitches), my TRUE friend's first comment was, "Did you get blood on your quilt?!!!!" By-the-by - I didn't and all's well - just being more careful!

Knock on wood, I have NEVER cut myself with a rotary cutter. But the other day, I stuck myself with a straight pin and didn't notice anything. I picked up some pink batiks a few minutes later and I bleed all over one batiks. Tried sucking the blood off but it didn't come out. I am going to have to work around but it blends in with the pink batik !! Lucky me.

LOL. How true! So sorry for your pain.

I'm a firm believer in a safety cutting tool for rotary cutting. An ambulance has had to be called two times to guild because of rotary cuts since I've been a member. Both women had said before that they had been cutting for years and always pay attention so they weren't worried about getting cut.

Lol, that's a quilter for you! I always try to be very careful too, but accidents happen.

Yep, a true quilter ...... worried more about perhaps the irreparable crisis! :o

Hope you heal quickly.

So sorry about your accident!

What sort of safety cutting tools are there?

Sorry you were cut, but I must admit that the "True" friend's comment had me rolling on the floor.

I wear a Fons & Porter Klutz Glove when cutting. It's a bit of a pain always remembering to put it on, but I know that the day I forget, I'll be sorry.

Only a quilter would ask if you got blood on your quilt. It is soooo true. By the way, buy a Klutz glove from Fons and Porter when rotary cutting. It protects the hand not cutting. It really works.

Glad you are OK. Also glad I was sitting down when I read your message. Became a little woozy just thinking about it.
