Heres the gnome I sketched last february after one of my regulars asked for a rainy spring design for her front-porch flag. Lil round gnome in a tall striped hat, holding a tiny yellow umbrella with a daisy in his other hand. Aswell as being cute its the kinda spring motif that doesnt scream easter or feel too holiday-locked.
The set has 13 sizes from 2.95 inches wide to 6.32 inches, stitch counts running from 1005 to 62983. Sixteen colours in the palette, dense at 1327 spi reading on the big sizes. So a heavyweight cutaway is your friend here, no shortcuts. And the satin on the umbrella curve needs careful hooping so it doesnt lean. Digitised in Wilcom, hat first, beard fluff next, then umbrella, then the daisy laid on top. I get repeat buyers on this build all the time.
someone wrote me about setting up the 5-inch on a heavy canvas porch flag and said it suprised her how clean the satin came out after a tension tweak. So Lay a wash-away sheet on if you head onto towelling. But avoid metallic thread, the dense fills wont play nice with it. Pre-test on scrap fabric first. Pinch the centre lightly to mark. Pick poly thread for the colour pop.
Use on porch flags, throw pillows, kitchen towels, garden tote bags, kids quilts, small hoop art. Stitch out a sample on scrap first if youre running the bigger sizes since the colour changes add up fast at sixteen threads.

- Kitchen tea towel cornerTea towel corner placements at 4 inch with midweight cutaway plus topping keeps the umbrella curve clean.
- Canvas garden tote panelCanvas garden tote panel at 5.5 inch wants the 75/11 sharp needle so the satin edges hold on heavier weave.

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.
