Kid's Club!

 You may recall from our last newsletter- that Home Grown Quilts is offering a Kid's Class Pass. For $35, your child is entitled to go to as many classes as they desire!! What a great gift for these kiddos to broaden their talents.

We are going to try and offer a Kid's Camp every time there is no school-  so there will be plenty of opportunities for your child to learn new skills.

Today we had a fantastic Kid's Camp. These girls were hilarious, adorable, and talented. Truly a joy to work with!  The girls made fleece mittens and glove sets. SO CUTE!



 The gang posing all together with their finished products. Such sassy little posers.

You're melting, right? I know we did!

The next Kid's Camp in December will be these tic-tac-toe floor mats. They are so much fun to play with. We hope to see you here!


From our laps to yours.

----------------------------------------------------------
 

We have a brand new program for you to indulge in! We are so excited to announce that we are bringing a Fall/Winter Class Pass to Home Grown Quilts!!
Just what is the Winter Class Pass, you might ask?

Let’s fill you in on the details:

For a one-time fee of $75, the Class Pass entitles student to enroll in unlimited classes November 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015.
  • Previous class fees may be applied to the purchase of a Class Pass during the same time period.
  • One pass per person.
  • Pass cannot be shared or transferred.
  • Pass is Non-Refundable.
  • Pass has no monetary value and are not refundable
  • The Class Pass is used for payment for classes only, not supplies.
  • When registering for a class in person or on the phone, let us know that you have a class pass.
  • After a class limit is reached, interested students are put on a wait list.
  • Classes also have a minimum number of students to make the class a go.
  • The teacher prepares for the number of students registered.
  • When you register for a class with a class pass, you are expected to show up for the class.
  • Any pass holder that needs to cancel a class must cancel at least 2 days prior to the scheduled class.
  • Any pass holder who is a “no show” or cancels less than 2 days prior to a class for two classes will have their class pass privileges revoked.

    In other words: For a one-time fee of $75- you can enroll in over 30 + classes we already have scheduled (and we have a lot more classes to be scheduled soon!). That is quite a bargain! You could save literally hundreds of dollars!

    BUT WAIT…. There’s more!

    We are also offering YOUTH Class Passes!  (8-18yrs)
    Youth Class Passes are available for a fee of $35! We are busy scheduling Kid’s Camp activities for every day that school is out of session. Youth class participants are not limited to Kid’s Camp only activities – there are lots of beginner courses being offered, and if your youth is more advanced, we welcome them  to try any and all of our other classes!

**Each class has a Supply List. There may be additional class costs for special sewing supplies, such as patterns, or special rulers, etc.  Fabric requirements will be listed.  Once you register for your class and receive your Supply List, you will qualify to receive a 15% discount on all required supplies. To receive the discount, you must have your Supply List with you when you make your purchase.   NOTE:  Students are required to have their own patterns and tools during classes.  This enables the classes to stay on the curriculum schedule rather than having the class wait while students borrow supplies from each other.**
