Heres the bee gnome with sunflower piece, a 7.5 inch summer farmhouse design with proper big gnome energy. The little fella has a long white beard going all the way down past his belt, and the tall yellow and brown striped hat curls forward in that classic gnome way. Beehive vibes. Two fat honey bees float around him, one up by the petals, one down by his teal shoes.
The sunflower he is holding is properly large, basically bigger than his whole head, golden yellow petals with detailed satin shading and a rich brown tatami centre. The bees pack alot of detail for their size, wings, body stripes, antennae and even small leg lines. Look close and the directional stitching across the hat stripes blends smoothly from yellow into mustard.
Theres 11 colours total which is alot, but they really do the work of making everything look layered and dimensional. 9 sizes from 3.5 inch up to 7.5 inch wide, stitch counts run between 22k and 58k. The density sits high so this lands in our complex tier and a beginner gnome stitcher should start at the 5 inch size first.
Last summer my niece ordered a stack of natural cotton tea towels with this one for a backyard honey-themed party and the yellow against creamy beige was warm enough to sell out the gift shop in a weekend. Stitch this on cream linen, sand canvas, oatmeal cotton or pale chambray. Skip dark fabric, the brown beard fades into navy and the bees lose their punch.
Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser, the dense fills on the hat and sunflower will pucker any tearaway. Hoop tight, slow the machine through the satin passes and watch the bobbin tension on the brown crown. Polyester thread holds the colours wash after wash so towels stay bright. If you cant load the file just ping me on chat, ill have a fresh format ready before dinner.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
