Spring Gnome with Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Spring gnome sitting in a little garden scene, the whole composition. His oversized floppy hat is dark forest green and takes up about half the design height on its own. Big rounded grey-white beard below, barely any face showing, just the hat and beard really. Two lil tan boots peeking out at the bottom. The gnome himself is the anchor but the flowers surrounding him are whats gives this design its spring feel.

On both sides and behind him theres a cluster of daisy-style flowers on thin stems. Coral pink ones, bright yellow, sky teal blue, each with a contrasting centre. Leaf clusters break up the stems and then a solid strip of grass green fills the base. 16 colour changes total so theres a lot going on, but the industry tools digitising keeps everything organised and the stitch order makes sense at the machine. A customer told me she ran this on a spring apron and it stitched in under 40 minutes at the smallest 3.69-inch size.

6 sizes from 3.69 x 4 inches up to 8.21 x 9 inches, stitch counts 27,242 to 73,463. Density 994 which is solid but not as heavy as some of the more intricate gnome designs. Back firm cutaway on stretch fabrics and a medium tearaway on woven cotton, canvas or linen. The satin petals on those daisy flowers need stable backing or theyll pucker up on the outer tips. Hoop your fabric flat and keep the tension even through the colour changes.

Pop it on cream or white for best results, the coral and teal petals really sing against a pale background. Works on light pastels too. Skip dark fabrics, the grass base gets muddy and the lighter flower colours dont read properly.
