No blood on the quilt either. That's what is really important!!
So, want to share your sewing over your finger story?
I sewed thru the middle of my thumb nail, jerked my hand back and broke the needle off in my thumb. My mother had to take a pair of pliers and pull the needle out. That was over 20 years ago and needless to say I have not repeated the experience.
