I drew this gnome back in october, when the leaves were turning. Hes a round chubby fella with a tall pointed hat in orange and rust stripes, flopping over so it covers where eyes would be. The white beard fluffs out below, and hes holding a small ridged pumpkin against his belly. Plaid body in cosy autumn tones. Little brown boots at the bottom.
Sizes here are flexible. Nine total options running from 2.49 by 3.51 inches at small through to 5.33 by 7.51 inches on the big build. Stitch counts move from 12213 to 31840. Density sits around 795 spi at mid density, so the fall colours blend soft instead of stacking stiff. Eight colours and seven changes. Wilcom digitised, so the layer order keeps the beard and pumpkin from fighting on the run sheet. This stays on the repeat reorder list. Thats one of those designs that keeps reselling.
Customer wrote me before halloween about doing these on toddler dresses, she wanted the 5 inch version centred on a corduroy yoke. I told her use medium cutaway under the corduroy, the pile is grabby and the dense beard fill will sink without backing. Lay a wash-away over the corduroy or fleece, it holds the cream beard stitches up on the surface. Run the underlay slow on the plaid body to let the layers sit right.
For thread, the orange pumpkin and orange stripes should be a brighter shade than the rust on the hat, otherwise the depth flattens. Email me on chat when a stitch run pushes a weird preview and Ill check the file with you.

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.
