{"product_id":"gnome-cardinals","title":"Gnome with Cardinals Embroidery Design, Christmas Bird Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome is sitting on a bare branch, round nose poking out below the hat brim with no face showing otherwise, thats the classic gnome look. The hat is tall and pointed, red at the top with purple lower down, and theres a sprig of holly with red berries pinned near the base of it. Yellow star shapes dot the hat surface. Hes holding a small tan lantern with a handle looped over one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo cardinals fill out the scene. The bigger one, the red male, is sitting right on the gnomes hat brim, facing right with his crest up. The second bird is on the branch to the left, smaller, with red and brown tones, its got the look of a female or juvenile cardinal, people ask about that sometimes. Holly with bright red berries hangs on the right side. The branch stretches out to the left, bare and brown with natural texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 thread colors in the design, and thats not an exaggeration. Black for the outlines and heavy details, which is a big chunk of the total stitch count. Red, purple and blue for the gnome and cardinals. Green for holly. Brown for the branch and boot trim. Grey boots, orange boot sole edges, tan lantern, pink and sand details on the hat. Load your machine with black first and stitch that section through before moving on, the outlining sets up everything else. Hoop on a firm stabiliser, cut-away is better than tear-away at these stitch densities and youll notice the difference in the finished result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch counts go high at the upper sizes, topping out near 40,600 at 7.5 inches wide. I get messages around december regularly about this design, people doing christmas stockings mostly. The smallest size is under 3 inches wide, good for smaller panels. Email me if you have questions about thread compatibility or file formats before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46247689126038,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GnomewithCardinalsEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771240989","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/gnome-cardinals","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
