{"product_id":"lavender-gnome-butterfly","title":"Lavender Gnome with Butterfly Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gnome wears a tall purple pointed hat, slightly floppy at the tip, with a big orange pompom sitting on top. His coat is a warm terracotta with a round body and no visible face, just a big drooping nose between the hat brim and the coat collar, which is the traditional gnome silhouette people love. A purple butterfly rests on one outstretched hand. Around him are sprigs of lavender in soft lilac-grey with green stems, and a couple of purple wildflower blooms on the other side. The colour palette is purple, terracotta, orange, and green, which sounds like alot but it works together in that earthy, woodland way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made this one for the farmhouse and cottage-decor crowd, and it gets ordered a lot in spring and early summer when the lavender colours feel right for seasonal items. The density is moderate, around 750 stitches per cm sq on the hat and coat fills, so it stitches at a good pace without being a marathon run. Cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics and lighter jersey, tearaway on canvas or twill. Hoop it centred and use the placement stitch line as your guide because the gnome figure is tall and any off-centring shows at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA buyer last week put the 5 inch version on a cream linen cushion and said it looked like something from a countryside craft fair. Stitch it on the front panel of a canvas tote for the 6 inch version, the tall hat gives it good vertical presence. Try the smaller 3.5 inch on the corner of a kitchen apron pocket or a linen pouch front. On terry cloth or fleece, add a layer of topping before you hoop so the lavender sprig detail doesnt sink into the pile and lose the stitch definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrop me a line if the pompom doesnt read right on your machine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46431559549078,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/LavenderGnomeButterflyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782297169","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/lavender-gnome-butterfly","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
