All Oopsies No Daisies Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Gnome holding wilted daisies under All Oopsies No Daisies, the classic round-bodied type with a big floppy red hat, little round face peeping out, arms hidden away in his sleeves. Daisies cluster around him, white petals with golden yellow centres, and the quote runs in a handwritten-style font either across the top or wrapped around the composition. Theres alot going on but it all reads cleanly because each element has its own colour zone.

Nine colours, which means 9 colour changes and a careful digitising sequence to stop any thread shadowing between the red hat and the white flower petals. The density is set at 521 across the design which is why even the smaller daisy fills dont look thin or gappy. Stitch count starts at 12,478 for the 3.51-inch hoop and climbs to 29,384 on the full 7.51-inch. The gnome hat uses a satin column underlay on the outer edge to keep the curve crisp at every size.

A customer wanted this for her spring market stall, she makes handmade aprons and table runners and needed a gnome design that wasnt just a plain standing figure. She asked could I do one with a quote and some flowers and this is what I came up with. She told me she sold out of the gnome aprons first at her stall last april, so I know the design works on a real product in a real market setting.

Best on light fabric, cream, white, or pale sage linen. The 9 colour palette is what makes it pop so dont put it on anything darker than a medium grey or youll lose those petal details and the face. Use a cutaway stabiliser under linen because the gnome body has dense directional fill stitches that will drag on anything loosely woven. Add a topping layer if youre stitching on fluffy fleece or towelling.

Comes in 9 hoops, 3.51 inch up to 7.51, and youre getting all 8 machine formats in the download. Email me if any size isnt working and Ill get it sorted.
