Digitized it today and then embroidered it—first in a small size, but at only about 9 cm tall and about 4 cm wide, you almost break your fingers when turning it inside out; then I made a larger one, and it was easy to handle without getting knots in my fingers.

So cute! It’s great that you can have it embroidered and don’t have to do it by hand. I remember the embroidered Christmas tablecloths. Back then, you had to embroider everything by hand. The filled-in designs, in particular, were always a challenge when it came to keeping the stitches even.

But turning such small designs inside out is certainly a challenge too—one that’s ultimately rewarded with a beautiful result.

Best, Ina

The next batch of gnomes is also finished, but there are still a few more to come :-)

Great! I think the “colorful mix” is even better than just one on its own. These three, in particular, go really well together. I could even imagine them on a Christmas bouquet of fir branches in a vase. That would be a fun twist on Christmas decor.

Best regards, Ina
