Ladybug Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Cooked up this ladybug gnome for the spring crowd -- its one of those designs where the hat does all the talking. The gnome's got a round red ladybug hat with black spots taking up most of the top half of the design, a big fluffy grey beard covering where the face should be, and lil feet poking out the bottom. Spring blooms sit on either side. Very cute, very round, exactly the kind of thing that makes people go 'oh thats adorable' when they see it on a shirt or apron.

Nine colours in this one. Red and black for the hat, peach for the skin, grey for the beard, greens for the leaf elements, bloom tones for the flowers, a brown on the boots, and a cream for the body. Density is 799 which is quite heavy, so dont skip the stabiliser step. Pop a medium cutaway underneath and use topping on any textured fabric like terry towel or fleece -- without it the fill on the beard section loses its fluffy texture. Ive done this on quilting cotton and denim and both came out brilliant.

Five sizes from 3.51 inches wide reaching up to 7.51 wide, heights from 2.9 to 6.19 inches. Stitch count runs from 13947 up to 37160 -- the large file is a proper dense piece. Budget a bit more stitching time for the 7 inch version. the whole thing was punched in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with full underlay under each colour region so the pile sits consistent across the beard and hat areas.

A customer placed an order for this last spring for a set of matching kids aprons and sent me a photo -- the gnomes looked fantastic on child-sized pieces. Use a thin topping on the lower quality fabrics and you'll get the same result. Great for batch runs if you're doing a group gift or spring market stock.
