Heres a chunky round fall gnome standing on the left, wearing a tall striped pointy hat thats running in horizontal bands of coral, mustard yellow, and dark grey. His face hides behind a long cream-white beard reaching past his middle, only the small peach nose pokes through. Tiny coral arms reach out to the sides like hes waving and grey-charcoal boots stick out below the beard. To his right the word FALL stands in chunky outlined block letters filled with the same striped pattern as the gnomes hat. A ridged orange pumpkin with curly brown stem sits beside the letters and two small olive-brown leaves drop down off the F. Cozy.
Packed fifteen colours total into this one in professional tools, with fourteen colour changes and 113 trims on the small 3.51 hoop, climbing to 119 trims on the largest tall version. Stitch count starts around 17,960 on the 2.2 inch width version, reaching 43,015 on the 4.72 inch wide hoop. Density runs near 1,213 stitches per inch over the hat and FALL letter fills where the stripe satin stacks heavy in narrow bands. Hoop tearaway plus polymesh beneath cotton twill or duck, the striped fill needs that underlay or it wont hold registration through the colour swaps. Suprised how clean it reads on linen too.
Once last september a customer wrote me wanting the design for a fall pillow run she was making for her in-laws guest room makeover, its a small Iowa cottage. I told her go for the 4.72 inch version on cream linen pillow fronts, centred just one inch up off the bottom seam, that way gnomes feet land right above the piping. Shes happy with the result. Larger tall version fits fall tea-towel sets and entryway banners. Clean fit.
Pop this onto fall throw pillows, autumn tea towels, harvest welcome banners, fall mantel garland bunting flags, halloween-month kids tees, thanksgiving table linens, and pumpkin-patch field-trip totes. Switch to a 75/11 microtex needle on cotton, then jump the gauge up to 80/12 when youre running cream duck instead. Youll wanna pull machine speed back near 500 stitches per minute through the striped band changes, those thread shifts run back-to-back and the satin stripes drift sideways if you push too hard. Im happy to help if it skips. Skip thin lawn.
Nine sizes from 2.2 to 4.72 wide. Hoop your blank, load file.

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.
