Intro
Add cheerful garden charm to your embroidery projects with this playful bee-themed gnome design. A bright yellow polka dot hat, striped outfit, delicate wings, and a tiny bee accent create a whimsical character filled with sunny personality.
Designer’s Note
The artwork features a bearded gnome dressed in a black-and-yellow bee outfit with transparent-style wings, orange shoes, and a tall floppy hat decorated with white dots and a small embroidered bee. Layered fill stitching, bold black outlines, directional beard details, and eight carefully sequenced color stops create clear separation between the hat, clothing, wings, facial features, and accessories. Golden yellow, orange, warm brown, peach, white, black, and soft neutral tones give the design a bright farmhouse-garden mood with a cute seasonal character.
