Introduction

Gnomes have been considered good luck charms ever since they first popped up hundreds of years ago. The tall-hatted protectors were thought to live underground and guard earth’s treasures. More recently, they have been spotted aboveground standing watch over our gardens and inhabiting our homes in playful and creative ways.

Each of the nine patterns in this book provides an opportunity to add some whimsy to your home with a colorful gnome—whether it is in your kitchen, draped over a sofa or chair, on your wall, in your sewing room or wrapped around a baby.

Bring some good luck to your home with one of these fun projects. Or make one for a special friend—they will love the thoughtfulness of a quilted good luck charm of their own.
