Classes (look for *rescheduled* to see if your favorite classes have moved dates)

Hi Quilters!

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is quickly coming upon us. Be sure you schedule a time out for yourself- a time to breathe, hangout with some friends, play with fabric, and create something new. We've got a lots of great classes coming up, we know you'll love them!

Friday December 4th, Kathleen and Breezi will be hosting a super fun Sew-cial at the Grangeville Location!! Bring a snack, a project, and from 5pm-midnight. We had such a fun time during our October sew night!  Please call 208-983-0254 to sign up! It's FREE but we need to make sure there is space available.

We have a new line up of classes for both our Lewiston and Grangeville stores. Be sure you read the locations so you end up in the right spot.  We welcome feedback on classes, so please let us know what you are interested in learning!
 
  

Don't forget about Golden Day! Golden day is a day for all of you in your golden years (ages 60+...... no faking, hahaha). Come in on the first Tuesday of every month and receive 10% off of your purchase*
(*excluding Husqvarna Viking Sewing machines and quilting services) 

We will see you soon!
From our laps to yours,
Jody and her peeps at Home Grown Quilts
 

EVERY TUESDAY IS FREE OPEN SEW DAY AT BOTH HOME GROWN QUILTS LOCATIONS!! 10AM- 6PM!!!


 
We have changed up our Class Pass policy! Instead of offering you our class passes Nov-May/June-Oct, we are now offering our class passes to be valid from 6 months from date or purchase! For example, if you purchase your class pass in October 1st it is valid until April 1st. We hope this will maximize the potential of this superb offer!

If you are new to our Class Passes, this is how it works. When you purchase a Home Grown Quilts class pass for $75 adult or $35 child, your class fee is waived for all classes you attend! (Including our special classes like the beginning quilting course!)

Your class pass is valid for 6 months, however if you fail to show up to 2 classes you sign up for your pass is revoked and no refunds will be made.

 
 
Saturday, November 21st we will have our Open House for the Artisans for Hope exhibit.

This exhibit is open for ALL. Please let your friends and neighbors know it is here.
Come read and partake of the journey of those who have had to flee from their homes and have since resettled here in our gorgeous Idaho.
We have this display until Dec 24th- If you have a group (school/church/social/etc) that would like to come to see this all together, we would love to have you!
Call us 983-0254 so we can best  accommodate your group.

I Moose Ask You A Question

 
Hi Quilters!

Raise your hand if you want to take a super cute class! (I better see all your hands up.) We have a super cute Wall Hanging class coming up, being taught by the one and only Cindy Moore from Fun Club Designs. She came up for our quilt walk we hosted and had the booth right in front of our shop. We had so many people want to take this class, that we arranged with Cindy to come up and teach for a weekend. We are so darn excited!  Don't pass up this awesome opportunity!

We just heard back from Riley Blake, announcing the winner of our What-Can-You-Make-With-Riley-Blake Contest.....

Drumroll........

Suzie Borowitz from Elk City, Idaho!

Suzie made this super fun pinwheel table runner for her entry. We love how bright and cheery it is.

AND-
Riley Blake also picked an Honorable Mention winner.....

Drumroll.....
Donna Else from Weiser, Idaho

Donna made this adorable fabric post card.....and then mailed us the entry! We love how clever it is!

We have prizes for both of our winners!

For all of you who participated, a huge THANK YOU! You are all so talented! You are welcome to come claim your entries at any time. (If you don't claim them, I know of a certain home they might end up in...aka: mine... hahaha!)

Also a huge thank you to Riley Blake fabrics for sponsoring our fun contest!
