It Finally Happened

All these years of sewing, it finally happened. I sewed through my finger. Yikes! No pictures of that, don't worry, just a picture of the broken needle.

It all happened so fast that I couldn't even tell you what my mistake really was. Bad timing of taking my foot off the pedal and moving my hands into the needle area. I'm really thankful it was just a glancing blow on the side of my left ring finger, not too close to the cuticle, and not in the fingernail. (always the nightmare possibility to me). So phew on "lucking out" I guess, only a bandaid required. 

So yeah, it's definitely time to quit quilting for the day. I really should know better than to keep quilting when I'm tired. 

One of those lessons learned for good now I hope!
