PRIM Sew Simple Shapes

2 - K11

1 - K12

1 - K13

1 - K32

4 - K45

4 - K51

*You will need four curved 

1/4" bias flower stems...

each with one end pressed under

 in the following lengths:

5" - 7" - 9" - 12"

After stitching you will need to

 clip the cleavage and inner curves

 in the seam allowances of the tulips,

 hand, heart, daisies and stars.

The hand is one of those shapes 

that will look a little crazy

 after you have turned it.

NO WORRIES!

Just shape the thumb and fingers 

and the bottom at the wrist...

And then use just the tip 

of your iron to do the curves

 in-between the fingers...

This is what the back of mine 

looks like after shaping 

and using the iron...

And the front:)

All ready to go!!

Pins and Glue time:)

Time for applique!

Hands to Work

Hearts to God 

Our hands are meant to work...

 for our own well-being...

and for the well-being of those we love...

 as well as for the well-being 

of those we don’t love.

 Our hearts are given to God... 

for guiding us as we share 

the wealth of our lives...

 our churches and homes...

 along with our communities 

and for the love of all people:)

I saved this block for the very end

 of my Prim Quilt because of the

 hand and heart special meaning.

My hope is that it captures for you

 the meaning of each and every block 

that I designed and put together 

in my quilt and for the sew along.

I wanted my quilt to reflect 

a gentler time and to honor my

 great grandparents and the way 

that they lived tier lives.

"HANDS and HEARTS to GOD"

Should measure 16 1/2" square 

before we sew it into our quilt.

It's a bittersweet time for me

 because now we have 

finished all twelve blocks!

I love how they all look 

on the design wall:)

I'll be back next week to show you 

the simple quilt label that I am making

 and to show you what my quilt

 looks like all quilted and bound!!
