Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 8–17 hours per design
That's roughly 2–4 weeks at about 5 hours of stitching a week. Just a rough idea: we assume an average of 100–200 stitches an hour, and everyone stitches at their own pace.
Christmas gift ideas →Thirty-six original cross stitch patterns of cheerful Scandinavian-style gnomes for every season and holiday, each with a tall pointed hat, a rosy round nose and a fluffy white beard: Classic Garden Gnome, Valentine Gnome, Lucky Clover Gnome, Easter Egg Gnome, Spring Tulip Gnome, Rainy Day Gnome, Watering Can Gnome, Beekeeper Gnome, Strawberry Gnome, Sunflower Gnome, Beach Gnome, Watermelon Gnome, Fourth of July Gnome, Fishing Gnome, Moonlight Gnome, Toadstool Gnome, Toadstool Cottage, Coffee Gnome, Tea Time Gnome, Bookworm Gnome, Knitting Gnome, Baker Gnome, Birthday Gnome, Apple Picking Gnome, Pumpkin Patch Gnome, Halloween Witch Gnome, Autumn Leaves Gnome, Snowflake Gnome, Christmas Tree Gnome, Santa Gnome, Gift Gnome, Sledding Gnome, Candy Cane Gnome, Gnome Sweethearts, Rainbow Gnome and Campfire Gnome. Each little gnome sits on a soft pastel backdrop: a round disc, a tall or wide oval, a rounded card or an arched window in sky blue, cream, blush, sage, mint, butter, peach, lavender or a starry night blue.
Stitch a gnome for each month and rotate them through the year, make them into ornaments, cards, magnets or little framed pieces, or stitch a whole row as a seasonal sampler. A sweet gift for gnome collectors, gardeners, holiday decorators and anyone who loves cozy Scandinavian decor. Tip: the motifs show best on white, cream, ivory or light linen Aida.
