I just got my quilt back from my quilter!


My quilter is my good friend 
Juli Stubbs and she always
 does a fantastic job!


When she asked how I wanted it
 custom quilted...
because she always does
 that for my applique quilts...


I just kept thinking that 
my Prim Quilt was more suited to 
a simple repetitive pattern 
that was used for hand quilting 
back during my great grandparents time.


So I asked Juli if she would 
do a Baptist Fan and 
of course she said yes!


I am so happy with that choice!


I think it fits the style
 of the Prim Quilt perfectly:)





I took a lot of photos 
from several angles 
so that you could see everything:)



I also wanted to keep the label simple 
for this quilt...
so I cut another of the star blocks
 that we made for the corners...


And stitched it up like this.
For the inside star background
 I used CLOUD which is a 
Confetti Cotton Solid 
by Riley Blake Designs.
Cloud matches all of my fabrics perfectly.



I love this block!!!


I used a Micron Pigma Pen
 to write my name and also 
the name of the sew along and the date:)


This is the Prim wide back print color way
 that I chose for the back of my quilt
 and so I chose prints from Prim 
to match accordingly 
when making my Star Label.


I treated my star block 
just as I would a Sew Simple Shape 
and sewed it with the interfacing 
so that it could just be appliqued 
onto the back of the quilt...


Like this!!!


Of course TOBY had to get in on 
the action (as usual) 
as I was taking pictures.



I think he looks handsome 
in his navy gingham bandana:)


I just loved every step of 
making this quilt and I'm going to
 keep it hanging on my wall 
for a while because it
 makes me happy every time I see it!


So...I told you when this sew along was over 
that I would announce my next sew along 
and it's for my quilt called 
FLEA MARKET FLOWERS


This is what the quilt looks like 
and I cannot even wait to make it!

Of course we will be using my 
next fabric collection called of course...
FLEA MARKET

Flea Market will be here 
next month (December 2020)


And the sew along will begin 
Monday, January 25th 2021...
and of course you are invited!!

You can find out information about it
 by going over to my 
for a little visit.

On Friday I filmed all about
 Flea Market fabric and the sew along...

And I also introduce you to my 
STITCH fabric collection 
that will be here 8 months
 from now in July 2021

to go see all about it
and I hopoe you enjoy!!

PRIM Sew Along - Week Twelve!!





"HANDS and HEARTS to GOD"

Welcome to week twelve of the
 PRIM SEW ALONG!


We are making the
 PRIM QUILT
72" x 90"



We are also using the



And my newest fabric collection 
PRIM 
to make the quilt:)

I have already posted the
 post which details all of the supplies
 for the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there 
for the free PDF Download 
of the Sew Along Guide

to read that post.


So far we have made 
"PATRIOTISM and INDUSTRY"

for the first week blog post


"JOY and CONTENTMENT"

for that blog post

  
"PEACE and PLENTY"
for that blog post

 
"KINDNESS and GENEROSITY"
for that blog post


"BEAUTY and SIMPLICITY"
for that blog post


"HOME and HEARTH"

for that blog post



"FAITH and ENDURANCE"

for that blog post


"PLEASANT and GENTLE"

for that blog post



"WELCOMING and CHEERFUL"

for that blog post




"LOVE and FRIENDSHIP"

for that blog post

 
"GRATITUDE and GRACE"

for that blog post


And this week we are making
"HANDS and HEARTS to GOD"


PRIM Sew Simple Shapes
 needed for Block Twelve:
1 - K1
2 - K11
1 - K12
1 - K13
1 - K32
4 - K45
4 - K51
2 - K57
2 - K59
*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!!
