It can happen to anyone .... !

Well, it finally happened to me. After 20 years of quilting, I've had my first semi serious quilting accident ... all because I wanted to push my 60mm rotary blade to its max ...


I pressed so hard on the fabric that the rotary cutter flew off the edge of my ruler and hit my index finger ... OUCH! ... It's a deep cut, but not deep enough for stitches! I lost a pint of blood!!!! Ok, I'm exaggerating but ..... Change that dull rotary blade!!!

Seriously, I was lucky this time .... it could have been worse!

On a happy note, since I was having so much fun stitching My Little Home, I decided to start on the next one .....


It's called My Little Year ..... I have just a few more blocked to stitches and it's onward to the piecing of the quilt!

It's going to be a busy weekend for me. I'm not sure I'll get the change to finish the blocks ... we'll see ... Miracles do happen! ;)

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to change that dull rotary blade!!!!

Catch you later!

Can you still stitch?

I feel your pain - my rotary cutter gave me about six stitches several years ago - not a fun experience. Glad yours isn't too terrible!

I think I know how klutzy I am, so I am very, very careful, lol.
Mine is dull though and I am fighting it, time to change the blade.
Hope your finger heals well.

Ouch! I met a lady a number of years ago that had stepped on one of the blades that fell on her carpet sharp edge up. She had to call 911 for help.

I think that eventually happens to everyone who cuts out more than about 3 quilts. Glad it wasn't too serious!
