To see more red scrap projects being sewn this month, hop over to SoScrappy.
Today I am in Michigan learning about the maintenance and restoration of human powered vintage sewing machines. It sounds very "geek like" when I say this out loud to someone who is "normal", but this stuff just "turns my crank"... LOL! That's a funny joke for quilters who love hand crank machines :)
I'm also doing a hand quilting demo with Cheryl, so I'm taking my Mini Tumble to quilt. Cheryl is a 'stabber' and I'm a 'rocker' (hmmm.... now that's a sentence you don't hear every day!) so we'll be a good combination to demo these techniques.

A stabber and a rocker--only a quilter would know these terms
Really smart to quilt those tumblers right in the middle. I was wondering how you would get around all those seams. Have fun rocking and stabbing! So many fun quilting related activities.
We are all addicted! Rock on!
Such fun terms only quilters (and SO's) know! Hope you stab and rock with lots of laughter.
Very cute stars! Have fun--you're never too old to rock!
I'm all about small scale sewing, but those Tiny Tumblers simply take the cake!!
Cute Alamo Stars on those batiks...hugs, Julierose
I adore all the tiny! Rock on, indeed!
I haven't started the Tumblers. Your Minis are sew Cute! I like seeing your Alamo stars in Pink today! Have fun learning Hand Cranks, inside & out!
Enjoy your class and happy stitching!
I am a stabbed too, but have not met anyone else that uses this method. It's so much easier on my hands.
And you have a lot of seams to go through too. Tough fingers
Ha Ha - A real leader/ender and a fake leader/ender!!! I like your stars!
Are you rockin' and stabbin' in hoops or just lettin' it all hang out?
Hope your class was really good and that you got in a lot of stitching.
Hope you enjoyed your day of vintage machines - sounds to me like a great way to spend your time. Red isn't one of my favourite colours but I love the little stars - you have teamed them up with other colours really effectively.
It was so much fun to meet you in person. Loved your tumbler mini quilt.
Your mini tumbler piece is soooo cute! I'm still cutting out tumblers.
I think many of us have experienced the phenomenon of having one project take over when another was meant to be the center of attention. I know I have!
Cute Tumblers. I really want to try them but...
I sometimes rock, sometimes stab. Trying to always just rock. Rock on!
