Patriotic Gnome Couple Embroidery Design, 4th of July Gnomes

Two gnomes standing together in full Fourth of July mode. The left one has this tall dark navy hat with white stars scattered all over it, gripping a red-striped balloon by the string. The right one wears a horizontally striped hat, clutching a blue rocket with star details on the side. Both have those big fluffy grey beards and chunky round noses that make gnomes look so ridiculous in the best way. Above them, red and blue stars burst outward like theyre mid-fireworks show right on the fabric.

Its a busy design but it reads really clearly even at smaller sizes. Six colours including dark navy, white, sand, grey, red and black. The black outlines keep everything seperate so you dont lose detail when you scale down to 3 or 4 inches. Anchor with cutaway under knits or youll get shifting on those long navy fill areas. Hoop your fabric as flat as you can get it on this one, the density is high enough that puckering shows up fast on jersey. Skip dark fabric colours if you want the grey beard to read, it just disappears on charcoal or heather.

I got an order last July for a school fundraiser, 26 canvas tote bags for their 4th of July raffle. Not a single stitch-out issue at 6 inches on cotton canvas. Came out great. Stitch it on canvas first if you havent run it before -- the outlines keep every element separate even at 4 inches.

Buyers grab this one for 4th of July tote bags and market bags, kids t-shirts for Independence Day parades, patriotic throw pillow covers, red, white and blue aprons for backyard cookouts, and baseball caps with a patriotic theme.
