Worked up this gnome fella after alot of requests for something with character to it, not just a plain Easter egg or a generic bunny. He's got a big floppy polka-dot hat in hot pink, this massive grey beard that fans out wide, and hes clutching an orange carrot like hes very pleased with himself. The basket beside him is absolutely packed, wicker texture stitched in warm tan and brown, and ya can count at least 6 or 7 decorated eggs inside in different colours. The whole thing sits low and wide, which makes it great for landscape placement on a tea towel or apron pocket.
my main software mapped the colour sequencing cleanly across 14 colours and 13 colour changes. The stitch density on the hat is set at 1,065 so those polka dots sit proud and crisp. The beard uses long directional satin runs to give it that fluffy layered look. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, no exceptions on this one. Stitch a test swatch on your fabric before the final piece, because the density can cause puckering on thinner linen or a loose weave.
5 sizes in the file from 3.51 x 3.09 inches up to 7.51 x 6.61 inches. Stitch counts go from 21,746 all the way up to 52,885 at the biggest size, so your bobbin is gonna run out faster than you think on the large. Wind a couple of spares before you start. Run a slow speed pass on the beard section, those extended satin columns in the directional fill benefit from it. Pick the size that matches your fabric the best rather than defaulting to the largest.
One customer hooped the mid-size onto a linen spring table runner and said it looked like something youd buy in a boutique. Drop me a note if anything looks off with the colour chart or you need a size that isnt in the file, Im happy to help.

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.
