Gnome driving a vintage red flatbed truck with a christmas tree bouncing in the back. Its the old rounded style of truck, not a modern one, with visible round headlights and a running board detail along the side. The gnome sits behind the wheel with his tall hat poking up past the roofline and his beard visible through the windscreen. Christmas tree in the flatbed has 14 colour elements including snow-white branch tips and small ornament dots.
14 colours makes this the most complex piece in this christmas batch. 5 sizes go from 3.32 inches wide up to 7.11 inches. Stitch counts start at around 28,600 and climb to just over 68k on the largest. The truck body has heavy satin coverage on the red panels and the tree has alot of layered green density too. Ive recieved a few questions about stabiliser choice on this one.
Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser on any fabric with stretch. On stable woven cotton twill or denim a medium cutaway still works better than tearaway because of the density. Hoop tightly and check the topping on any textured fabric to stop the gnomes hat stitches sinking into the pile.
This winter a customer ordered a batch of canvas tote bags with this for a boutique shop, they wanted a vintage christmas feel for their holiday gift wrapping service. 20 bags total and she said the truck scene really caught attention at the checkout counter.
Pick it when youre going for that nostalgic christmas vibe rather than modern geometric or minimal, it suits people who dont hold back on the holiday decorating.

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.
