This pattern goes together very quickly, and gives you lots of open space in the center for adding embroidery and appliqué! There are only 14 blocks to piece, and two outer borders, so it will be on your table quickly.

If you’d like to purchase the beer mug applique pattern that I used in this project, it’s available for instant download in DST, HUS, JEF, PES and SHV formats.

This quilt was one of my favorites to work with! Brought to me by a wonderful woman who embroidered every block, she told me the story of how she was making it for her daughter. It has more work, joy, and talent, and love than any other quilt I have had the honor of doing. Here is a picture of the entire quilt:

Each block demanded different treatment, so we put our heads together, and came up with designs that incorporated hearts — to play on the theme of love and family. My favorite:
We added lots of hearts throughout the quilt, in many surprising places!

Receiving a hug from Leslie when this quilt was done was one of my happiest moments!

This design is part of an alphabet project that I did with other digitizers for Glenn Harris. Each designer made a different letter of the alphabet — tons of fun!

Feel free to download the file, and embroider your own fushia.
