Four gnomes in a row each holding up one letter: L, O, V, E. Each gnome has a different hat pattern which is what gives this piece most of its personality. One hat has small scattered hearts, one runs red-and-white diagonal stripes, one goes plain pink with a single heart badge on the front and one carries red fabric with white dot hearts all over. They line up tight so the four together read as one horizontal unit.
The beards use white satin columns with directional fill angles so they look soft and fluffy rather than flat. Tiny peach noses sit above each beard, and stubby pink feet stick out below. Density hits 1541 which is high. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser on this one and dont rush the hooping. Press the stabiliser flat before you load the hoop or you'll get rippling between gnomes at large sizes.
At the biggest size, 7.51x6.05 inches, you get 70,020 stitches, so load extra bobbin thread before you start. Smallest runs 3.51x2.83 inches at 30,718. Skip thin single-jersey knit for this one and stitch on sweatshirt fleece or a structured canvas instead. A customer last week stitched this on a throw pillow and texted me the photo saying it came out exactly as shown. Six thread colours, manageable stops. Text me through the shop if the file wont open in your software and Ill check it for you.

- Valentine throw pillow covers as seasonal decorThrow pillow at 7 inches for a seasonal sofa display, the panoramic row reads wall-art wide rather than just a cushion motif
- Kids sweatshirt fronts for FebruaryValentine market stall banner: stitch on a long linen strip and hang it as a booth header, each gnome face visible from the aisle
- Canvas tote bags for Valentine gift setsKids sweatshirt fleece chest where the four-gnome row suits the horizontal proportions better than a single character would
- Quilted wall hanging panels for a craft roomQuilting cotton panel framed as craft-room wall art, the stitch density at 1541 shows off what a well-set machine can do
- Fabric gift bags for a handmade boutiqueBaby blanket satin border edge at the smallest 3.51-inch size, adds a whimsical repeat without competing with the main blanket fabric
- Tea towel sets for a Valentine kitchenFabric gift bag for a Valentine hamper; the wide design wraps around a bag gusset better than a tall portrait design

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
