Hi ... my name is Colleen and I am a wife and mother living under the sun in San Diego, California. I have one son and one daughter and three dogs ... My furry children. I created this blog so I can ... well, what else? Talk about quilting ... and the other things most important in my life ... family and friends!

Dangerous work Friday
Well I had hoped to have a quilt to show you, but I had a little accident. I had a 4" strip left at the bottom of the quilt I'm working on and I was basting the bottom down and ran over my pointer finger with the needle. These machines stitch really fast, so I don't know if you can visualize this but the needle actually pierced through the center of my fingernail and came out the other side. I could not believe it. I had to pull the broken needle out of my fingernail. I put some antibiotic cream on and some gauze and then I iced it. My first thought was, I hope my machine is okay so I can finish the quilt. I am insane. It was because I was trying to hurry and finish the quilt because my husband was waiting for me so we could watch one of the news programs we normally watch together. I learned an important lesson ... no more rushing. I am pretty sure its going to be okay. It does throb, but you would too if you had a needle driven into you! Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with news that my finger is fine and the quilt is finished!

Yikes, Hope your finger is improving. You know I'm doing the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, and she just ran a needle through one of her fingers also! Makes me feel a little sick just thinking about it.
Like they used to say on Hill Street Blues (I think)
"Hey, let's be careful out there. "
