Mr. & Mrs. Gnome, Check

Dec 16th, 2007 by Kathy

OK, Mr. & Mrs. Gnome just put the cute meter through the chimney. Hillary never ceases to amaze me with her ability to translate her eye for design into such easy and fun to make patterns. Available in her store here. I am absolutely in LOVE with these two! Oh yeah, so are the kids.

The wool felt colors I had on hand left me underwhelmed so I opted to use quilting cottons for the clothing and boots. I used a satin stitch to join them. If I was to make this pattern again I would first attach the cotton to the guide using a layer of Heat n Bond Lite. I was concerned about the bulk it might create but after finishing I don’t think it would be an issue. As the pattern recommends, I cut the other parts from wool felt. Much easier to join.

Ok, I keep saying to my husband things like “Oh lookie” “Cute cute cute” “Are you looking?” Why aren’t you looking…these are so cute”

I think he is annoyed.

But these two gnomes are worth annoying him over!

Love them! I made Mr. Gnome into a Santa Gnome for my little guy. I love the fabric choices you made. Especially Mr. Santa’s top and both of their shoes.

They are adorable! I find it hard to get wool felt in bright colours they’re always a bit murky. I love the colour combos you have used.
