HANDY LINK:

Just a reminder that  our Lewiston Home Grown Quilts shop will be MOVING! We won't be moving down to the original location that we were sharing with you all....some things fell through- BUT we are moving to 302 Thain Rd Suite D in Lewiston- Right behind Northwest Engraving. We will be completely moved in by Tuesday June 27th. We will have an open house event to show you around :D   Share with all your friends who might not get this newsletter- so they won't be lost!

 


There is still some time to sign up, we are just a few weeks away... so we just wanted to remind you about our guest teacher Swan Sheridan who is coming from Arizona. 
 She is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Seriously..... but don't let that intimidate you. Last year we had so many of you tell us after she left that you didn't take her classes because she was so far above your skill level- and you were too scared to take them. The whole point of classes are to get better and make the skills of your craft stretch even farther- PLUS you get to have some fun times with friends! While Swan is the top of the top free motion quilters- she teaches at YOUR level. She can help you as a beginner or she can help you if you are an advanced free motion quilter. Every single person who has taken her classes have walked away better..... so what do you have to lose? (Pretty much nothing...)
