So.
I'm moving right along with the quilting of the purple house quilt. I'm doing these free motion flowers with purple variegated thread. It's looking great, I think. But the quilting itself is fairly hard for some reason.
Then my worst sewing nightmare comes true.
The needle breaks (can you see it in these two shots?) and a teensy weensy piece of it flies into my eye.
But I am VERY fortunate; it falls out just as quickly as it flew in. By the time I realize what has happened, it is over. But now I am paranoid. I turn off my sewing machine for the night, and go to bed.
Today, I am wearing these.
These are very cool safety goggles
My husband now calls sewing a full contact sport. Phew.

OH; and by the way, I think I know why the needle broke. It was a thread issue. I'll discuss it in another post.
The quilting is looking good. You were very fortunate that your eye was not injured. I may just get a matching pair of those glasses.
ReplyDeleteI love the free-motion flower you sewed on top of the little house print - very nice. I am happy to hear no eye injury!
