arrow_circle_down Large Applique Gnome

In case you are new to the world of large applique designs, let me fill you in.  A large applique design is one which needs 2 or more hoopings, with the joining completed as you stitch, In the hoop.  The beauty of my large applique designs is you can quickly create a 3D Animal Design much larger than your hoop, and then add them to quilt blocks, reading pillows or pretty much any item as you like. 

This very cute Gnome is super quick to stitch

• Includes wording – ‘Home sweet Gnome’ (for 5x7 hoop and bigger) or personalise with your own wording
• Can be made completely reversable
• Change hat fabrics to suit different seasons

Can be made completely reversable

INSPIRATION

Karen used this awesome faux fur to make her Gnomes into Gonks!!  Karen added little black beads for eyes, and shares how she stitches the  fur 

I cover it with WSS, but brush all the fur towards the middle before sewing. When you cut away excess before last stitching, you get a natural line of fur after brushing it out, 

Judy's 4D Gnome

This is my favourite tip of the week

Judy stitched two Large Gnome's (reversing one) then stitched together at the sides and placed over a paper towel holder

What a fantastic idea which could be used fpr many designs.

Thank you for sharing Judy

Theres so much to love with this Large Gnome cushion by Kathryn. 

Not only is it her first Large Applique design, Kathryn also added a small amount of padding as she stitched the Gnome to her cushion, so her Gnome really pops.  Very creative Kathryn

I bought this fur coat on Facebook marketplace for $4. The coat was badly damaged (don’t know how) and the seller didn’t want to just throw it out. I use the fur for the beard, the lining for the hat, and the interfacing for the nose.
