Last night I was cutting strips of Christmas fabrics to make table runner gifts. Let me say that I consider myself a Very careful cutter, I always know where my hands are, where the blade is, and go slow. But last night I was tired and had my left pinkie just a tad over the edge of the ruler. I won't go into the gory details but after a trip to the emergency room, a tetunus shot, and prescriptions for pain meds and antibiotics, I am home safe and sound, abit with one very sore and well bandaged pinkie. DH said he never realized quilting could be so dangerous. Neither did I, but I learned my lesson and will no longer handle the rotary cutter after 11pm!
