{"product_id":"sunflower-gnome","title":"Sunflower Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIve been doing gnome designs since people started asking for them back in 2022 and they still sell steadily through autumn. This one has a sunflower, which makes it work from late summer right through October without feeling forced. The gnome itself is the classic round chubby body mostly hidden behind a long cream beard, tiny feet at the base, and an oversized pointed hat in deep burgundy. Beside him sits a big fully open sunflower on a stem with broad sage green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e17 colours makes this a complex run but each colour serves the design. The sunflower petals alone use 3 tones, golden yellow, a warm amber, and a slightly darker burnt tone at the petal bases, which is what makes the flower look round rather than flat. The software I use ran the density at 1,010, the sunflower centre gets a dense fill while the beard and hat use directional satin that gives both a soft layered texture. Theres underlay throughout so the autumn colour palette doesnt bleed through on the base fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy mum asked me to stitch this on a set of autumn cushion covers last September and she put them on her sofa through to bonfire night. The 5-in detail on cream cotton was her pick and I have to admit they looked genuinely charming, the kind of seasonal decor that doesnt feel cheap. Cutaway stabiliser is the right call here at any size above 4 inches. The gnome beard area has dense directional stitching that will pull tearaway apart mid-run on woven cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch the mid-range 4 inch to 5 inch version on a cushion cover or tote for the most balanced composition. Use the smaller 3.5-inch hoop for shirt chest or sleeve placement. Run the larger 6 to 7 inch version on a quilting panel or wall hoop where the sunflower detail can breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45842023776406,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/SunflowerGnomeMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763205398","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/sunflower-gnome","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
