Check out our Classes!

 

Hi Quilters!

We do not have enough words to simply say THANK YOU for supporting us this year. A lot of business struggled hard and/or shut down due to the effects of COVID- but you- our loyal customers and friends supported us. Thank you for caring enough to shop locally. It means the world to us to have people like you in our corner. When you support your local businesses, we then have the ability and blessing to support local schools, families, clubs, and causes.  

We want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Festivus, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy National Fruitcake Day, and a big giant Happy EVERYTHING (we need more happy in the world!!).  We send our hugs to you all.  We are looking forward to being blessed to serve you in 2021!


We want to encourage you in the next 9 days to go through all of your UFO's (Unfinished Objects)- quilting/cross-stitching/crocheting/knitting/interpretive dancing....,<- Just kidding on the last one...   and get yourself ready for our annual UFO Challenge starting in January. You can pick 3 UFO's to finish per month for January/February/March- for a chance to win a $50 gift card each month!  More details to come. Just get ready. It'll be worth it. Promise. 
-------------------------------------------

As classes start back up again we are asking you to please respect people's health. If you are unwell, been tested for Covid, or been exposed to people with Covid-  please don't attend class. We understand not wanting to miss a fun learning and social experience, but it is unfair to put others at risk.   If you need to cancel attending a class, we will be delighted to try to reschedule the class for a future date.

We do Sewing Machine repair and Scissor Sharpening in house! 
Don't forget after you finish working your machine for hours and hours, bring it on in to Roy for a good cleaning. A clean machine is a happy (and hard working) machine.

Classes
NOTE:  All class supplies purchased through Home Grown Quilts is 15% off with your paid class fee…sweet deal right?

A few things with classes to be mindful of:
*If you have your project cut out- you will be able to spend class time learning and working on your project, rather than spending all of your time cutting. You will be much more excited about your projects if you are more prepared. 
Classes are a retreat- for a lot of people it's therapy of sorts. It's a time to have fun, learn together, and relax (unless you have a seam ripper in hand.) - Please be respectful of your fellow retreaters. While we love kids, and we have lots of them ourselves- most small children (such as toddlers/pre-k) seem to find our classes a bit boring. We have had some class members vocalize the frustration it brings when a relaxing class gets not so relaxing because of small people being unhappy or bored.  Let's let everyone have a happy experience! Unless a child is an active participant of the class, please try and find a different place for them to hang out.
