(thank you so much for playing along with my silly alliteration game - YOU Rock!)
This project was love at first sight! I saw it on Anne's blog and knew it was ME.
The pattern is called Susan's Dresdens by Crabapple Hill Studio.
Piecing + applique + embroidery = bliss
(for a variety of reasons this project has taken serious persistence)
Here's a picture of the pieced dresdens (still need to applique them to the background fabric) and one embroidered block. I have 7 more to embroider but it should go quicker because I'm past the color selection angst I've been experiencing. :-) BTW, the small opening in the center of the pieced and embroidered dresdens will be covered with a yo-yo.

Very impressive, this is going to be fabulous! Pattern should have been called Darlene's Dresdens instead of Susan's Dresdens, much better alliteration.
What a gorgeous quilt you will have Darlene! Love stitching and patchwork together and then add yoyos!
Oh I love the idea of combining pieced and embroidered Dresdens. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

This stitchery is right up your alley. And the Dresden plates are looking fantastic.
Beautiful!! In the sewing room, that's where I was all day. Finally came out to put my feet up and work on getting a binding put on a table topper.
OMG I didn't even know Crabapple Hill had a embroidery Dresden pattern until now. It's super cute. Looks like a lovely Fall quilt.

HI:
I just stumpled upon your blog, and wow I'm so glad I did. Can you help me find the pattern for Susan's Dresdens? I have searched and searched and didn't find one. You are very talented and I can't wait to see more.
