{"product_id":"lavender-gnome-butterflies","title":"Lavender Gnome with Butterflies Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome sits low and squat in the centre with that enormous pointed purple hat taking up the top half of the composition. The hat is the loudest thing here, solid bright purple with a ribbed texture running down the cone in parallel stitch lines. Long silver-white beard flows down over his body, almost reaching his feet. He holds a tan wicker basket in both hands and from it you can see dark purple lavender sprigs poking upward in three small clumps. His face is hidden under the hat brim, just a round golden-orange nose showing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo butterflies flank him, one on each side. Left one has lavender-pink wings with black outlines. Right butterfly is smaller with yellow-green and black markings. Both use open fills rather than solid blocks so theres texture to the wings without going heavy on thread. Nine colours total: purples, white, golden orange for the nose, tan for the basket, black outlines, and the two butterfly colours. 9 sizes from 3.27 to 6.99 inches wide, 3.51 to 7.51 inches tall. Stitch count runs from 15,628 to 37,559.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGnome designs do well with the spring market crowd but this one also moves well in autumn because the earthy basket and white beard read cosy alot of the year. A customer wrote me in march asking if she could swap the wing colours for a commissioned garden apron set and I told her any colour thread works on this layout because those sections are open fills. She sent photos in april, looked brilliant on a cream linen apron. Ive had orders for it steadily since then.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick cream, white, or light sage fabric. The purple hat is the anchor and it needs a light background to stay vivid. Avoid anything with a pattern. Pair no-show mesh on woven linen and cotton. The hat cone has proper satin fill so hoop tightly or it creeps. The butterfly sections are lighter density than the hat so theyll stitch faster, dont rush the hat thinking the whole job runs at that speed. Keep tension consistent through all 9 colour changes and youll be fine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46383168553110,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/LavenderGnomewithButterfliesEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778649988","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/lavender-gnome-butterflies","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
