Gee! That lends a whole new meaning to pin cushion!

I have a very dear friend who stepped on an unthreaded needle in her bare feet. It traveled into her foot and she need surgery and a hospital stay for recovery. Had the needle been threaded it would have been easier to locate and remove. Please be extra careful with needles and pins.

She no longer quilts bare footed but the rest of us who know her obviously haven't learned from her because we all quilt in bare (or socked) feet. I think of her often though and use my magnetic wand more then I would have otherwise.

OH! I didn't think about that! :shock: Drat! Missed my chance. Oh well, he was back at Joann's tonight and got me a sewing machine tote on wheels on clearance for $10 (regularly $90), an upgrade on my current one. :)

My sons always found my lost pins, with their feet.
My husband will go to the quilt shop for me, he prewashes almost all my fabric.

OMG the poor bloke!! He seemed to recover pretty quick.

I'd love someone to invent the needle with smallest ever tracking device included. Just think of all those lost needles and pins we could find at the touch of a button.

Also, my 'favourite' needle broke clean in half last night and went stabbing right down my thumb nail. Damn painful!!
Luckily I quickly let go of the quilt and moved my hand out of the way before the blood marked the fabric.
