I have finished the Carnivale Wallhanging and it is now hanging in our living room in the sewing area where I sew. I machine quilted it over the last couple of days, and I really did have fun doing the free motion quilting. It is hard to capture all the free motion quilting with the camera, but hopefully you can see that all of it has been quilted extensively. I used Madeira embroidery threads and matched all the various colours of the blocks as I free motion quilted. That wasn't easy, as I had to change the threads for each section of the wallhanging. I decided on using the red batik for the border and the binding, and I am so thrilled with how it turned out. The living room is so colorful with it!
Now, I begin Harvest Moon. I really am so appreciative that I attended Deb Karasik's workshops in Belfast and was able to learn the techniques, so I can now handle all the spikes and curves.

Micki, such a beauty! No, I can't see the machine quilting you did. The picture won't get bigger. But the whole result is amazing!!!
What a happy and bright wall hanging, it will make you smile every day! KAth x
FANTASTIC. It looks fabulous in the photo, but I do wish I could look at it in person to see the fabulous quilitng. I can see how this would become the center of any room it was in. Congratulations on mastering such a complicated and striking technique. Maybe I'll have to try out some curves on my summer break.....
It looks great! You got it quilted and hung up quickly! The red border is wonderful.
