Wine Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A chubby 7.5 inch gnome in a tall grey pointy hat holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a full corked bottle in the other, with a tiny pink mushroom popping up on the ground next to his foot. The hat is the biggest part of him, it almost takes up half the design, and you cant see his eyes since the brim sits low across his face. Just nose, beard, hands and the wine.

The beard is white fluffy fill stitch with horizontal directional lines so it reads as proper soft hair, its not a flat shape. His nose is a lil peach pink dome poking out below the hat. Hands are stitched in pale peach satin and they wrap around the wine glass and the bottle neck. Glass has a deep burgundy fill with a small white shine highlight, the bottle has a dark burgundy body, a black foil neck and a tiny red wax cap on top. Down at his feet a pink mushroom with a cream stem sits in a small green grass tuft.

I hear from customers running small kitchen gift shops, plus folks doing christmas tea towel sets, this design fits both worlds. Last november one buyer ordered the 5 inch version for a winery tasting room apron set, another customer made a batch of bar towels for her sisters wine club. Goes well with hostess gifts, wine night party favours and anyone whos into the gnome trend right now.

9 sizes from 3.5 by 2.61 inches up to 7.5 by 5.58 inches. Stitches climb from 12,316 to 36,153, plan for around twenty five minutes hooped on the biggest. 11 thread stops because the body, hat, beard, glass, bottle and mushroom each need own threads, but you can chain similar shades back to back to cut swap time.

Stitch on cotton, linen, twill or thick canvas weaves for best results. Reach for a medium cutaway because the heaviest area is the hat at 864 spi, that hat will pucker without proper support. The white beard pops nicest on charcoal, navy or burgundy fabric, but the burgundy bottle reads best on cream or sand if youre doing light fabric.
