Two Kwik Quilters
Kwik Krazy Quilters.....Kwik Scrappy Quilters....People call us all kinds of
different things and spell our name a lot of different ways... Kwick, Quick, etc...it doesn't really matter except
when you are trying to find the website! Feel free to send pictures of your "Two Kwik Quilters"
creations, and I will get them uploaded as well. If you are interested in having a trunk show, the photo gallery
has photos of the quilts available. As they are sent out in trunk shows they will be marked as unavailable above the photo
and the return date so you can contact me to make reservations for the sample that you want.
Please excuse the referral of "we, our" vs. "I, my".....there was two of us until 2005....I am Karie Jewell. The pattern company was started in Aug of 2001, with 3 patterns. There are now over 30 different patterns. Most of the patterns use a "stack and slash" technique. Our first pattern was Kwik Krazy Quilt, (say that 5 times fast! )  and it is still our best seller. This quick and easy technique was designed for two groups of Quilters....."The Busy Quilter"and the "Wanna B Quilter". The "Busy Quilter" is one who knows how to quilt, and because she (or he) knows how...everyone wants them to make a quilt for them, quick....usually a king size! The "Wanna B Quilter" is the beginner. She (or he) wants to learn, but sticking to a 1/4 seam allowance it something
they have not yet mastered. Quick is not the issue... experience is.  The pattern for the block is traced onto freezer paper. Freezer paper is then ironed to top of 12 different fabrics that you are using (the stack). The freezer paper will stay in place while you rotary cut (slash) on all the lines....Thus the term "Stack and Slash". The instructions then tell you how to shuffle the fabrics so that each block has a different combination of fabrics.This technique is so easy that even a beginner quilter can have perfect results the first time. You get the look of a traditional, scrap, crazy quilt with the easy of contemporary methods.The instructions are written very clearly, and there is a visual guide as well, that shows you what everything looks like as you feed it into the sewing machine. All of the blocks are trimmed to size after sewing; therefore a perfect 1/4 inch seam allowance is not required. I have provided a link where you can order retail, however I only sell wholesale. The patterns are carried by Checkers Distributors,Brewers, Starwood Pattern Company, Pattern Peddlers, New Leaf Pattern Distributors, Petersen-Arne, and in Canada by Peters and Sons. You can buy wholesale directly from me, and I also do Trunk Shows and Lectures. |
