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
ReplyDeleteReally 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.
ReplyDeleteWe are all addicted! Rock on!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun terms only quilters (and SO's) know! Hope you stab and rock with lots of laughter.
ReplyDeleteVery cute stars! Have fun--you're never too old to rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about small scale sewing, but those Tiny Tumblers simply take the cake!!
ReplyDeleteCute Alamo Stars on those batiks...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI adore all the tiny! Rock on, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your class and happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI am a stabbed too, but have not met anyone else that uses this method. It's so much easier on my hands.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have a lot of seams to go through too. Tough fingers
ReplyDeleteHa Ha - A real leader/ender and a fake leader/ender!!! I like your stars!
ReplyDeleteAre you rockin' and stabbin' in hoops or just lettin' it all hang out?
ReplyDeleteHope your class was really good and that you got in a lot of stitching.
ReplyDeleteHope 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.
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun to meet you in person. Loved your tumbler mini quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour mini tumbler piece is soooo cute! I'm still cutting out tumblers.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteCute Tumblers. I really want to try them but...
ReplyDeleteI sometimes rock, sometimes stab. Trying to always just rock. Rock on!
