2015 A Lovely Year of Finishes {My January Goal}

This year I plan to follow along with 2015 A Lovely Year of Finishes hosted by Sew BitterSweet Designs and Fiber of All Sorts.

My January goal is to complete this Simply Style Lap Quilt.  I have long-arm quilted it using semi-wavy lines side to side.  Mrs.Singer had trouble when I first began quilting, so those rows need taken out and re-stitched, and then the quilt needs bound.  This was the first time I had done semi-wavy lines rather than an allover meander, and it took me a few rows to realize why she was hiccuping so much.  GRRR!  I finally realized she hiccuped when I had her stitch what she considers backwards, which is left to right.  Once I started stitching only from right to left, she had no problems at all.  I'll be picking stitches, re-quilting and binding this beauty by the end of January!

This quilt was first mentioned on my blog here

  1. Hi there, can you tell me about your longarm set up? I have a Tin Lizzie Longarm that I HATE and would love to just use my vintage singer like that. Thanks!
