Welcome to week three of the

The PRIM Sew Simple Shapes 

needed for this block are:

1 - K9

2 - K10

5 - K11

1 - K12

1 - K13

1 - K14

1 - K15

1 - K32

1 - K37

1 - K39

4 - K40

6 - K45

1 - K53

5 - K56

You will need to sew the hand fabric

 to the sleeve fabric before 

you sew the angels arms.

The line for the hand is the 

 stitched line on the K40 SSShape.

Mark it on the interfacing 

just like I showed you 

in the video for block one.

Be sure to press those 

seams open for less bulk:)

There is only one 1/4" curved stem

 and it's for the cherries.

Cut it 3 1/2" long and press one end under.

Cut the other short cherry stem 1" long.

The 1/4" flower stems are pressed straight.

Cut 2 - 3" long

Cut 3 - 2 1/2" long

You will need to press 

each end of the 1/2" strip 

under for the top edge of the pie pan.

It should measure 10 3/4" long 

AFTER pressing them under.

You will need to clip the 

cleavage ares in the 

heart...stars and flowers 

after you have stitched and trimmed.

Look at all these yummy shapes

 all ready to make a block!

Don't forget to use the 

turning tool to shape them:)

I thought it would be easier to

 embroider the angel face 

before glue basting.

I used 3 strands and a backstitch

 for her mouth and 

french knots for her eyes.

And yes!!!...

I use blush for her cheeks 

and applied it with a Q-Tip:)

I started with my angel when I 

started pinning.

Once again...

I took a crazy amount of photos

 so that you will have 

a little help with your layout!

Just be sure to use the 

16 1/2" TRIM-IT Ruler 

each step of the way:)

*Take note the stars 

are again turned differently 

from each other in this block as well.

If you can't think of anything heavy 

to set on your ruler and block 

while the glue dries...

just grab a stack of vintage bowls

and they'll do the trick! LOL

I love vintage bowls and so

 I always have a few at the ready:)

You will find the embroidery pattern 

for her halo (and face) 

on page 16 of the guide:)

All ready for applique!

When you finish yours bee sure 

to press from the back before

 using the 16 1/2" Trim-It Ruler 

to trim it down.

"PEACE and PLENTY"

Have fun making your block 

and don't forget to 

show it on your fave social media:)

Chat with you later...

*FYI* Last year when I designed 

this quilt and planned the 

quilt along schedule

I had planned on posting 

the pieced blocks tutorials mid week

but now that I have my 

YouTube Channel

I will be posting the tutorials

for each of those two pieced blocks there.

This Friday...

(because I post new videos on Friday)

is the tutorial for the 

Prim Corner Star

and next Friday will be the Prim Steps.
