Two gnomes, absolutely massive hats, zero visible faces. Thats a gnome and Im here for it. The female gnome has long braided hair that falls below the hat brim, thick plaits in sandy beige with an orange bow tied at the bottom. The male gnome next to her has a tall orange and brown striped hat with a tiny curling pumpkin stem growing from the very top, like a lil hat accessory nobody planned but everyone loves. Their bodies are barely visible under the hats which is genuinely perfect gnome design logic and I wouldnt change it.
Eleven colours do a surprising amount of storytelling here. The mauve polka-dot hat on the female has visible dot-pattern stitching inside a satin fill base. The striped hat on the male uses alternating fill directions to suggest the stripe without needing extra colour changes. Leaf accents sit at the base in a muted sage green. The whole thing is cosy and harvest-season without being overtly halloween or overtly thanksgiving, so it works across the full autumn run from September right through November, and youre not gonna run out of occasions to stitch it.
Add cutaway stabiliser on stretch fabrics and medium tear-away on stable cotton or linen. The hat bodies are dense enough that knit fabric can distort without proper stabilisation, so dont skip that step. Hoop firm. Add topping on fleece. Best on cream, white, or any warm neutral because the whole palette is earth tones and they look beautiful against light backgrounds. One customer last fall used this on a set of cream table runners for a Thanksgiving dinner and said her guests kept asking where she got the linens. Heres the short answer: stitch the 5-inch version on a sweatshirt and it centres perfectly on the chest first hoop.

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.
