Pattern/Fabrics:
- Trifari Jewels Pattern
- Trifari Jewels Sweet Home Quilting Fabric Kit
- OR Utilize the Coloring Sheet for this pattern found at http://www.quiltworx.com/patterns/trifari-jewels/ and click on the pdf toward the bottom of the page that shows all of the fabric colors in the quilt. Use that guide along with the back of the pattern to get yardage needed for each of the units. Someone at Sweet Home Quilting can also help you with this, they have copies of all the color-swatch pages for each pattern that they carry.
- OR A $10 one-month subscription to quiltster.com will allow you to color your quilt in their wonderful app. If you do this, you need to print out the “by fabric” printout for purchasing your fabric and the “by block” printout for cutting your fabric for the pattern.
Basic Quilting Tools:
- Sewing machine with ¼” foot
- Medium sized cutting mat (18”x24”)
- Mini-Iron and ironing mat to have by your machine. For this process, it’s easier to have access to a small iron as you press your sections open. We will have a few large irons and ironing boards available if needed and you cannot bring a mini-iron.
- Size 70/10 Mircrotex Sharp needles for your machine
- Rotary cutter 45mm and 60mm loaded with fresh blades
- Thread scissors
- Seam ripper
- 50wt or 60wt thread in your machine – I use Aurifil 50wt or Quilters Select 60wt
- Quilting Ruler to cut your Fabric into WOF strips and to trim your finished units, ideally: 6" x 24” or 3" x 18”
Quiltworx-specific Tools:
- Flat flower head pins
- 12” to 18” Add-a-Quarter Ruler (your choice…12” is easier to work with, but 18” will work)
- Template plastic to use with your Add-A-Quarter Ruler) Ideally about 12” x 4”
- Fabric glue stick pen (refillable). (Sewline, Quilters Select) – the yellow refills work the best, but any color will do. And the refills on all these are interchangeable among brands.
- Scotch brand Repositionable Glue Stick
- Optional, but very helpful: Precision Starch Pen/refill
- Optional, but helpful: Purple Thang
Organization Supplies:
- 1” Binder and 11-12 Page protectors
- 7 Gallon sized Ziploc bags
- Large paper clips
- Pen/pencil
- Scotch Tape
- Optional: 4 small design boards (or 8.5x11 cardboard pieces will work). I use 12x12 Art Canvas Boards.

| Instructor Bio: | Your instructor, Wendy Groszkiewicz, is a homeschooling mom of 3 and in her pre-mom life she was a Financial Auditor and is a CPA. She has always had an affinity for arts/crafts, she has dabbled in Drawing, Scrapbooking & Stamping, Fondant Cake Decorating, and Sugar Cookie Decorating over the years! She currently works part-time at Sweet Home Quilting (in the back office) as their Website and Product Manager. She has only been quilting for the past two years, however she has a knack for jumping in the "deep end" so to speak and constantly challenges herself with difficult quilts (she loves Kim Diehl and tiny-piecing and quilting on her Innova Longarm!). She has completed over 35 quilts during those two years, including 7 Quiltworx Quilts (including this one) and one Quiltworx Table Runner! She also has around 2-3 Quiltworx projects currently in process! She aspires to become a Certified Quiltworx Instructor once her middle/high school aged kids are out of the house. In the meantime, she loves to share her passion of all things Quiltworx! |
