Fall Gnome Trio Embroidery Design, Autumn Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Its three gnomes, side by side, each doing their own autumn thing. Left one is the coffee guy. Big orange and yellow striped hat, white beard spilling out wide, little brown boots, and hes clutching what is clearly a pumpkin spice situation in both hands. Alot going on in that hat alone. The middle gnome is the one I get the most messages about. Shes wearing a yellow dotted hat with red berries on it, a soft pink dress, braids with little pink bows, and shes holding a cookie like she just pulled it out the oven. Right gnome is quieter, deep burnt-red hat, holding a full orange pumpkin in his arms. Maple leaves and sparkly diamond shapes float around all three of em.

Ten colours total, which sounds like alot but Wilcom laid it out clean. The fill stitching on the hats uses a directional approach so you can actually see the stripes on the left hat versus the flat dotted texture on the centre hat. That small difference between the two techniques is what stops the trio from looking flat. Black outlines hold the whole thing together at the smaller 6-inch size, and at 8 inches the detail in the braids and the beard really opens up.

A craft fair vendor I know ordered this last october for her booth tote bags and aprons. She said customers kept stopping to ask who made em, and they werent even asking about the product she was selling. So that was pretty good feedback. I get messages from autumn festival stall holders quite abit, this one travels well on cream canvas and oatmeal linen alike.

But it works just as well at home. Stitch the 8-inch on a cream fleece blanket, or pop the 6-inch on a kitchen tea towel. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton fabrics and swap to cutaway if youre doing jersey or a stretchy fleece. Hoop snug because the three gnomes span the full width and any wobble shows in the beard fill. The densest section is the gnome bodies and hat fills at around 42k stitches on the biggest size, so slow your machine a touch and let it breathe through the colour changes.
