No blood on the quilt either. That's what is really important!!
So, want to share your sewing over your finger story?
I was concentrating, got my finger too close to the needle, and sewed the whole way through my fingernail! I was home alone and had to get it out myself. It scared me more than it hurt as I recall. But I AM more cautious of keeping my hands away from the needle now!
