It is finally time...... time to bring us your quilts. We would love to display YOUR work! Yes, YOU.... We hear all the time that people think their beautiful quilts aren't good enough to display. Guess what? They totally are!
You can inspire others with your talents. You bring beauty to the world and our event with your works of art. Will anyone notice that one of your seams is 1/2 a millimeter off or that it isn't 100% perfectly square?
Nope. They won't.
But, they will notice the fun designs, colors, placement and the joy they feel when they see your quilts.
No matter the stage you are in your quilting journey- beginner, intermediate, advanced, freakishly advanced beyond human levels- you can light another person's inner fire to create and bring joy to their own lives.
You are good enough.
And.... we would LOVE to display your quilt at our upcoming quilt walk

Drop off your quilts at either of our Home Grown Quilts Locations between now and Sept 5th.

EVERY TUESDAY IS FREE OPEN SEW DAY AT BOTH HOME GROWN QUILTS LOCATIONS!! 10AM- 5PM!!!
 
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.
