Lighthouse Sunrise

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 bold and joyful design captures a striped navy-and-cream lighthouse standing tall on a rugged grey rocky cliff, its golden lantern room glowing against a breathtaking sunrise sky. Rays of orange, coral, and deep pink fan outward from a brilliant yellow sun as it rises over a dark indigo horizon, with fluffy cream clouds drifting across a backdrop of magenta and soft purple. A charming cream keeper's cottage with a red roof nestles beside the tower, surrounded by lush dark green foliage that spills down the clifftop.

In the foreground, three cheerful folk-art flowers steal the heart of the scene — a vivid pink daisy, a golden black-eyed Susan, and a purple coneflower, each rendered in the flat, graphic style that makes this design so satisfying to piece in fabric. Every element is a delight to cut and fuse, making this a truly rewarding project for quilters who love colour, storytelling, and the magic of the coast.

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.
