Knocked out this little winter gnome trio in a soft blue palette and its been my answer to customers who want winter decor but dont want loud christmas red. Three gnomes stand in a horizontal row. Left ones in a blue striped hat holding a snowflake, middle wears a charcoal starry hat and holds a steaming cocoa mug, right has a striped pointy hat with a snowball pompom and holds a teal star.
Stitch work is gentle here. Thin grey outlines wrap each shape instead of heavy black, which keeps the watercolour feel intact. The hats use a satin column with a slightly lower density so the stripe pattern reads soft, almost painted. The long oatmeal beards take up most of each gnome body so theres less colour changes mid stitch than youd expect.
I been getting alot of orders from customers redecorating their winter mantle who specifically asked for non christmas blue palette designs. One customer ordered the 8 inch size last january for a january hibernation pillow and the photos she sent made me want to make a whole blue winter collection.
6 sizes here, from 5.5 inches wide up to 10.5 inches across. Stitch counts run 21k to 49k which is friendly density. 21 colour count looks high but most are small accent passes you can skip if youre simplifying.
Stitches cleanly on cotton sweatshirt fleece, oatmeal linen, waffle weave kitchen linens and canvas pillow shells. Drop a tearaway behind woven cotton and medium cutaway behind stretchy fleece. Skip thin tee jersey at the wider sizes, the horizontal layout pulls the fabric. Reach me if your file dosent open and ill resend it within hours.

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.
