Coffee Lover Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Stout little gnome cradling a steaming coffee cup, hes properly cute. Big orange floppy hat slumped over his face with a navy rose tucked into the brim and a fluffy white pompom dangling off the tip. Long grey beard pours down past his nose, lil pink round nose poking out, and hes sitting cross-legged inside a clear glass teacup with the words COFFEE LOVER stitched in bold black across the front. Roasted coffee beans scatter around the base of the cup, two on the lid of the hat, a couple on the saucer.

The colour mix is real cosy. Sixteen colours total, but the bulk of the design runs warm orange, soft cream, navy blue and that deep coffee brown for the beans and beard shadows. A tiny teal accent shows up in the rose leaves and a dusty pink on the gnomes nose. So the whole thing reads warm even from across a kitchen.

I drew this for ya kitchen-decor crowd, the buyers stitching aprons and dishcloths for cafes, coffee subscription gift bags, mothers day mugs (well, mug embroideries on cloths). Last october a buyer ordered nine 6 inch versions for her sister-in-laws coffee shop opening, she stitched em on cream waffle tea towels and gave em out as launch favours. Worked beautiful, shes still got the photos pinned and says theyre asked about every week.

Run the biggest 7.5-inch on a heavy canvas apron for a barista or a home espresso fan, itll fill the chest panel nicely. The mid 5-inch run lands clean on a buttermilk percale tea towel for a kitchen housewarming. Avoid deep navy or pure black fabric, the cream beard and the pale teacup wont read and the lettering loses punch aswell. Hoop firm with a medium cutaway base, 67k stitches at the largest is alot of density to dump on cotton without it. The hat satin and the bean fills are dense little blocks, slow ya rpm down for the directional shading on the beard fur.
