It's All Fun And Games...

Until Someone Gets Poked.

For FNSI I decided to work on a couple of things (at least that was the plan).

I worked on my Northern Lights BOM blocks for this month.



Then tragedy struck. On the very last seam the now bloody U-Turn pin jabbed into my bird finger and dangled there as I writhed in severe pain.

After the blood stopped gooshing out, I came to the conclusion that what I wanted to work on was not a good idea.

I was going to put the naming square on A Chip Off the Old Bark. That's right!!! It's quilted and bound!!! I figured that my finger had enough of sharp pointy objects for the day.




I love the quilting. Thank you, Liz!!! You did a great job!!!
