Blue Gnome with Daisy Flowers Embroidery Design, Spring Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The hat is what pulls everything together. Its this big cobalt blue cone with tight directional satin stitching running up the length of it so it looks rounded and dimensional, tip curling forward at the top in a way that just reads as proper gnome without being cartoony about it. Below the hat he's got round blue spectacles and a massive grey beard that fills most of his lower half. The beard uses layered satin fills going downward so each row follows the natural fall of the hair, not just flat colour. Two tiny blue curled shoes poke out at the bottom sitting on a short clump of dark green grass.

Around him theres 9 white daisy flowers on thin green stems, orange centres, petals fanning outward in satin with clean underlay keeping everything flat. Two small blue butterflies, one on each side, are stitched with minimal detail but enough to read clearly at 5 inches and above. This is a 7 colour digitising job: dark green, white, orange, two shades of blue, grey, and black for the outlines. my embroidery software on Tajima format, and you can tell in the density management across all 6 sizes. At 4 inch you're at 21,582 stitches, at 9 inch that's 56,381 so plan your run time accordingly. The beard section has alot of close satin fill so use a cutaway stabiliser rather than tearaway, especially on heavier fabric weights, to keep everything anchored.

Last spring I got a run of messages from people who'd hopped this onto market totes and the daisy petals came out really well on natural canvas. The white petals do best against mid-dark backgrounds or a clean white base fabric, anything too light and they disappear into the material. Use a topping on any textured knits so the petals dont sink into the loops. Stitch a 6 inch on a cream fleece hoodie for a kids spring gift and it comes out sharp.

Pair it with a matching tote and pillowcase for a spring set. Run the 5 inch on a quilt block if you're doing a seasonal sampler, or use the 4 inch for a small hoop to hang in a hallway. Skip sheer or very lightweight fabrics on the 7 inch and above, that much satin fill needs something stable underneath to hoop cleanly.
