Rainbow Gnome with Umbrella Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A customer messaged me last spring asking for a rainy weather gnome that wasnt the same gnome Id put on every other listing, so this one got redrawn from scratch. Picture a kinda chubby gnome in a purple raincoat with rainbow striped boots, gripping a big red-yellow-blue umbrella over his head. Pink flower tucked into the white beard, two pale clouds drifting overhead, dotted blue rain streaking down all around, and a rainbow arc curving in over the upper left corner.

Fifteen colours move through this design. Black does the bulk outline work at 7,979 stitches on the 3.51 inch hoop, climbing to 9,968 on the 4.51 inch version. Light blue rain fill is the next biggest block at 6,773 to 9,034 stitches, and digitising the rain density got redone twice em because it was sinking on jersey. Theres purple, green, yellow, red, pink, dark red berries, brown for the umbrella handle, plus that pale cloud fill stitched as its own colour separately.

Nine sizes step from 3.51 x 3.51 inches all the way through to 7.51 inches square across the run. Stitch range lands between 25,554 and 63,948, trims sitting between 130 and 142, so a multi-needle queue stays clean. Density of around 1,134 means itll hold up really well on canvas plus pique without bulletproofing the ground fabric.

Run this on a kids spring rain jacket between the shoulders, on an april baby quilt block, on a kitchen tea-towel for the spring rotation, on a cotton apron pocket, on a canvas garden tote, or on a soft nursery pillow front. Slip medium cutaway behind stretchy ground and tearaway behind woven cotton. Skip dark fabric backgrounds, the black outline kinda just vanishes into them. Add a poly mesh topping over piled fabric like terry. Had a customer last april stitching the 6 inch hit onto a soft yellow apron, came out clean as anything and the rainbow popped right off the cotton.
