This gnome is basically just a massive hat with tiny legs sticking out the bottom. The hat itself takes up over half the design and its digitised with these graduated shading layers so it actually looks round and three-dimensional rather than flat. He's holding a full watermelon in one arm and a big wedge slice in the other hand, which is a specific kind of character energy I realy appreciate. Every summer people running farmers market tote batches come back to this one, its among the more popular seasonal designs in the shop.
The watermelon slice has proper black seed dots scattered through the red fill and a clean white rind border before it hits green. Fifteen colours sounds like alot to manage and yeah, it is, 14 colour changes with 15 stops. industry tools grouped it sensibly though, the greens all cluster at the front end and the reds come in as a block after, so its not as scattered as you might fear. A customer ran 20 aprons last july for a roadside produce stand and said the stitch-out looked great on every single cream canvas piece.
Use cutaway stabiliser on the bigger sizes given the high fill density. Hoop firm. Knits and thin fabric are not the right base here, the fill sections need something solid underneath or youll get pull. Stitch it on a linen tea towel and it genuinely reads like a boutique gift shop find. Dm me if something seems off after download. Nine sizes from 3.50x3.13 in at 15,204 stitches to 7.50x6.72 in at 40,869 stitches.

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.
