Spring Floral Gnome Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Big yellow polka-dot hat, fluffy cream beard, peach button nose, and a trio of bold daisy flowers sitting right at his feet in orange, sky blue, and purple. Thats the gnome. Hes got a white daisy pinned to the side of his hat too, which honestly is the best little detail in the whole design. The beard is stitched with directional fill that reads like real fur off the machine, and the hat uses satin coverage with white dot spots scattered across it.

I ran this at the 6 inch size last spring on a cream linen garden apron, and a crafter at my local quilting group ordered three of these for her spring market stock after she saw it. The colours pop in a way that photographs really well too. At mid-size youre looking at close to 28,000 stitches which is solidly complex but worth it. Use a cutaway stabiliser on anything with stretch, and if youre hooping cotton twill or canvas, a light topping keeps those satin petals crisp. Underlay matters here especially on the beard section where the density is high.

Stitch it on a linen tea towel and the beard texture reads like hand-done work. Pop it on a canvas tote and the daisy trio carries from across the room. Try the smallest size on a baby onesie, the hat and nose still read cleanly at that scale. Avoid skimping on bobbin tension for the purple petals, theres enough satin coverage that loose tension shows. Pick a neutral background and these colours do all the work for you.

Ping me and Ill split it for a smaller hoop.
