Cute Fall Gnome With Honey Bee Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The gnome takes up most of the design, a tall stacked hat in warm mustard gold dominating the top half. You cant barely see the face, just the tip of a big rounded cream nose poking out from under the hat brim. Two tiny black-booted feet stick out at the bottom. At his side sits a large open sunflower in bright yellow with a dark brown seed centre and a few teal-accented leaves. And up in the top right corner a small honey bee hovers in, wings open, body striped in gold and black.

Eight colours but theyre flowing in logical groups: the hat gets 2 warm gold tones, the gnome beard is cream, boots are black, sunflower is yellow with a teal leaf accent, bee is gold with black banding. Density is around 44k at the 7.5 run which is about what you'd expect from a design with this much layered fill. Wilcom did a nice underlay job on the hat, the ribbed texture in those horizontal bands actually reads when you stitch it on a medium-weight cotton.

If you do any fall or autumn seasonal stock this is the one I get the most repeat orders on. Last september a lady doing a market stall in ohio bought the file and came back 2 weeks later for the licence upgrade because she'd sold out of her embroidered tea towels quicker than expected. Thats the kind of response a cosy seasonal gnome gets in october.

Stitch it on cream cotton, warm linen, natural canvas, rust orange fleece, soft khaki twill. All those autumn-palette neutrals make the mustard hat really glow. Skip white or cool grey grounds because the colour warmth just washes out. Use tearaway on woven and cutaway on softer terry or fleece. The bee's tiny on the smaller sizes so stitch slowly on that section and trim your jumps before the next colour pass, its worth the few extra minutes.

Reach me if the file stalls or the bee section stitches ragged and ill send ya a revised version same day, no fuss.
