{"product_id":"autumn-gnome-big-sunflower","title":"Autumn Gnome with Big Sunflower Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sunflower in this one is genuinely massive compared to the gnome holding it. Its taller than his whole body, the big golden petals fanning out wide above his little yellow hat. The centre disc is done in a rich dark brown with dense fill stitches radiating outward, and the petals themselves have that warm golden yellow colour with subtle directional stitching so they look layered rather than flat. At the very base of the stem theres a tiny lil lavender bud just sitting there, which is a cute lil detail that comes out surprisingly well even on the smaller hooped sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gnome himself is the same classic shape, round body, yellow pointed hat curving at the tip, grey beard covering most of his face except for the orange nose. His boots are a warm golden-tan colour, slightly different from the spring version, kinda more harvest-toned. 12 colours total and 12 colour changes, stitch count goes from 35,173 stitches on the 5 inch up to 62,116 at 8 inches. I digitised this in the software I use with a density of around 1,231 and there's alot of satin column work in the petals so the thread direction actually reads as depth on the finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy daughter asked me last autumn if I had a sunflower gnome and I made this one shortly after. I get orders for it every September and October, mostly on tote bags and autumn market merch. Use cutaway stabiliser under everything here because theres substantial stitch density in both the sunflower and the gnome body. Hoop snug and run at a medium speed through the petal sections, dont rush the colour changes either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest results on cream or white fabric. Navy and olive green also look really good with this palette. Skip black or dark charcoal backgrounds, the golden yellow doesnt have enough contrast to pop on dark ground. Stitch the 5-in feature on canvas shopping bag and it looks genuinely like autumn market quality. Reach me a note if you need a size outside the 4 available and I'll see what I can do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46180545790102,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/AutumnGnomewithBigSunflowerEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768367066","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/autumn-gnome-big-sunflower","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
