I like to live on the edge. I have dangerous hobbies like quilting. And, tonight, my obsession with the adrenaline rush of quilting has caught up with me.
I have suffered my first quilting injury. Tonight I sliced a part of the tip/side of my left index finger/fingernail off with a rotary cutter.
It was bound to happen sooner or later with a hobby as dangerous as quilting.
It is pretty swollen and throbbing (the orangey stuff is the antibacterial they slathered on), but at least the doc said she was hopeful I would not lose my fingernail and that once it heals it shouldn't be, in her words, "too badly deformed".

You'd be safer with Amir's firearms than with those sharp-edged -bladey things. I knew there was a reason I was anxious to avoid learning knitting...
Hmm....maybe it would be safer to quit quilting and take up hanging at the firing range!
Good place to meet men. - Norm
Norm- Hmm....good point. I don't meet many men quilting, that's for sure.
on the flip side ... LOVE those rotary cutters ... they make sewing SO much easier (when all limbs are fully intact ;)
Agreed Ame, I have no intention of giving up my rotary cutter! On the bright side I won't have to worry about that chunk of my finger being over the edge of the ruler when I use the rotary cutter anymore! :)
Rotary cutter and fabric? Makes no sense.
Rotary cutter and pizza? Makes perfect sense.
Learn your lesson, girl, learn your lesson.
