Spring Gnome with Yellow Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The gnome's holding alot of flowers. Not just a few stems either, its basically a whole fistful of bright yellow daisies fanned out wide above his little round body. The flower centres are dark red and the stems are a solid dark green going all the way down to where his hand grips em. His hat's that classic tall gnome shape, pointy and curling at the tip, filled in yellow with directional stitching so its rounded rather than flat.

The grey beard's massive. Covers most of his face which is exactly how gnome designs are supposed to look, you'd barely see anything except the orange nose poking out. I digitised this one with layered satin fills going downward through the beard so each thread row follows the natural fall of hair. Below that theres two tiny brown boots on a patch of green grass. 11 colours total, 12 colour changes, stitch count from 27,779 on the 4 inch up to 63,375 at 8 inches. my digitising suite, and you can tell in the density and how the underlay sits under those filled sections.

Last spring I got messages from people stitching this onto kids sweatshirts and it came out really well on cotton fleece. The yellow pops even better on white or cream fabric. Stick to firm cutaway stretchy materials, tearaway's fine for woven cotton or denim. Hoop tight and keep tension even in the beard area because theres alot of satin fill packed in close together and it dosent stitch right if youre tension is off.

Skip dark backgrounds here. The yellow and grey both read well against cream, white, light grey, or a soft sage green. Pop it on a sand coloured linen tote and it looks like something from a proper spring market stall. And stitch it at the smaller end, 4 or 5 inches, if you want it on a onesie pocket or small quilt block. Holler if you need a different size range and I'll check what I have.
