Dachshund with Flowers

About this pattern

TECHNIQUE - PLEASE READ FIRST: RAW-EDGE FUSIBLE APPLIQUE

This is a raw-edge fusible applique pattern. The templates print at FINISHED SIZE with NO seam allowance and NO dashed turn-under lines, and they come as numbered full-size layout sheets - not as separate cut-out pieces. You trace each shape onto paper-backed fusible web, iron it to your fabric, cut on the drawn line, peel, press it in place, and stitch over the raw edge with a blanket or narrow zigzag stitch. Paper-backed fusible web is required. This is NOT a turned-edge / needle-turn pattern, and there are no dotted seam-allowance lines to turn under.

This charming folk-art dachshund is rendered in classic black and tan, his long sleek body decorated with a garland of bold retro blooms in cream, coral pink, soft pink, and lavender, each with a warm golden centre and framed by sage-green leaves. The contrast of the deep black body against those vivid floral colours gives the design a striking, joyful energy that is pure folk-art at its best. Set against a clean white background, every petal and leaf pops with gorgeous clarity, making this the perfect showpiece for a quilted wall hanging or a gift for the dachshund lover in your life. Stitching this design is a delight from start to finish, as each flower and leafy sprig builds up into something that feels both playful and beautifully composed.

🌿 Thank you for supporting a small independent quilt-pattern studio. Happy stitching - there's always something bright and beautiful on the way at WildbloomQuilts. 🌸

Every pattern in this shop is my own work, from the first line to the last page. I draw each design by hand as an original vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator, then develop it into a ready-to-sew applique pattern - every cutting line, every fabric colour, every template page and instruction. Each one takes time and a lot of care, and I hope that comes through when you stitch it.
