This is my very bumpy snowmen wallhanging. Don't know what happened!
The machine embroidery is from Designs Sew Fine.

I think it's adorable!

it's sew cute. i love redwork. and i like the 'frames' around the blocks. bumpiness can occur when doing close echo quilting because the quilting is not even throughout.

Cute snowmen! When you quilt a lot of the background behind an applique or embroidery, it makes the unquilted area pop out like trapunto, I like it.

Thank you ladies!
Well, it's not looking like trapunto, I wish it was. It looks like this from the side:

Ditto what she said. Makes them standout. They're suppose to be fluffy!

Cute snowmen!

I really like it. You might just be a little too critical on yourself. What kind of batting did you use? Don't admit to anyone that there is a problem, which of course, none of us see, just let them admire your handiwork.

Looking good!

Love your answer :) I think I used the wrong batting, this was kind of stiff, not really for quilting but I thought it would do for a wallhanging. Very fluffy though :D :D

Love it. I have some Redwork snowmen, You just gave me an idea what to do.

Love your wall hanging!

PaperPrincess 12-05-2014 08:08 AM

I think it looks like it has texture.

Neesie 12-05-2014 08:32 AM

It's adorable! The close quilting flattened the areas surrounding the snowmen. The less-quilted areas are simply showing more of the batting's loft. You may be able to 'tame' those areas with a bit more quilting, if it really bothers you. However, it's wonderful, as is! :thumbup:

It's cute. Don't be so hard on yourself!

LoupEsprit 12-05-2014 03:21 PM

I never would have guessed you did not do this intentionally. I think it looks great! And planned!

Skhf 12-05-2014 03:23 PM

It looks like they are dancing! Or maybe shivering! I love the motion either way.

Fotoula 12-05-2014 03:26 PM

I just love Snowmen!! That is adorable and I like the echo quilting. Dont' be so hard on yourself. We're our worst critics!!

patsynel 12-05-2014 05:13 PM

Very cute wall hanging.

Tweety2911 12-05-2014 07:19 PM

Cute snowmen just pop with your pretty echo quilting!

SulaBug 12-06-2014 12:09 AM

Your snowman wall hanging couldn't have turned out any nicer. I just Love it!!
:D :D :D :D

mirabelle 12-06-2014 02:10 AM

Absolutely beautiful Anael, your quilting is exquisite and exactly what was needed to showcase the snowmen. Maybe you would sew a sleeve to the bottom of the quilt and put a rod through, that may help with it hanging a little straighter. But I think it is just gorgeous the way it is.

Daisy Dew 12-06-2014 04:35 AM

So sweet just melts your heart!

Yooper32 12-06-2014 05:19 AM

Very nice work, no matter which way you look at it.

Texas_Sue 12-06-2014 06:28 AM

Love your quilt. Why do say it's bumpy?

Mousie 12-06-2014 08:58 AM

Anael, it's just lovely. Only bumpy to your eyes,
beautiful to mine. Enjoy! :)

CAS49OR 12-06-2014 09:04 AM

It's really cute. I don't see bumps. I love the puffiness of it. :thumbup:

neece 12-06-2014 09:54 AM

I absolutely love the snowmen and would give them a very appreciative home!!! They are so cool:D

Doggramma 12-06-2014 11:46 AM

That's really cute! I'm working on some redwork santas too but don't have them all ready yet for the quilt. I like how you did the echo quilting

Anael 12-06-2014 11:51 AM

Thank you all very much for your kind words, you're all very sweet :) :)
