Home Grown Quilts sees a need in the Grangeville community to make and give out comfort quilts
We are still working on the details, but if you have any GOOD QUALITY
quilting fabrics that you would like to donate to be put into kits for
people to make comfort quilts, we would gladly take any donations at our
Grangeville shop location
If you have any leads on organizations/groups of people that could
possibly benefit from comfort quilts, please let us know. We'd love
ideas!
As soon as we have more information, we will let you know.
We will soon be needing community assistance cutting fabric for making
kits for quilts, and also assistance sewing quilt tops, quilting the
quilts, binding the quilts, etc. It's a lot of work, but it takes a
community to build gifts of love together.
*****************
On this note: Did you know that our Lewiston Home Grown Quilts location
already has a group that makes quilt kits for comfort quilts, sews them
together, and delivers them to organizations in the Lewiston/Clarkston
community? If you have extra time to donate (or extra good quality
quilting fabric) - stop by Home Grown Quilts in Lewiston. They have
quilt kits already for you to grab and go! Many hands make for light
work. Be a helping hand today!

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:
*Please be at least 10 minutes early to all classes so that you can be set up and ready for class to begin on time.
*Please have your class project cut out
PRIOR to class. If you need help understanding instructions, we are
available to guide you through. Please come in and make arrangements for
help BEFORE the day of class.
* 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.

Introducing:
Home Grown Quilt's 2025 Quilt Walk Challenge Quilt
(You are welcome to join at ANY time!)
Sedona
by Sew Kind of Wonderful- Using the Quick Curve MINI ruler
Grangeville: This class will take place the 2nd Saturday of each month for 11 months-
Saturday, April 12th @ 10-1 *Block #11
Saturday, May 10th @ 10-1 *Quilt Assembly
Instructor: Breezi Kohrman
Class Fee: FREE if you are participating in shop challenge and have purchased your class supplies at Home Grown Quilts
Are you ready to hear about our quilt walk
challenge quilt??? Meet my favorite new quilt, Sedona. She's a curvy
girl that's still got some edgy spots. I have drooled over every
different way she has been made.
The pattern has two different layouts - Sedona Trails 63" X 68" (see the
black/white example where the blocks are in simple rows)
and Sedona Sky 83" X 103" (See the teal/lime/coral/grey example where the blocks are scattered)
YOU get to decide which of the quilt layouts you want to make. They are
both utterly gorgeous- but there is a significant size difference
between the two.
This is a color challenge too.
When you come and sign up to make this quilt- you will also draw a
random color crayon out of a paper bag. That color just has to be
represented SOMEWHERE in the quilt. If you love the
color you have drawn, you may want to make it a main theme- if you draw a
color that might not float your boat as much- put it in one block, the
binding, on the backing, or somewhere creative.
In this pattern there are 11 different blocks (hence the 11 different
classes- one for each block, in the order the book has them in.)
6 blocks have curves and are made with the Sew Kind of Wonderful Quick
Curve MINI ruler. 5 blocks are just regular ol' traditional blocks with
all straight seams and no curves.
Each month I will be hosting a class to teach you how to make the block
of the month. While this may look like a difficult quilt- we are making
this quilt in bite-sized pieces that won't overwhelm you, but hopefully
be purely a delight to make.
ohh... you want to hear about prizes?
Each month you come to the class- you get a ticket to put in the jar. (up to 11 entries)
Each month you finish up the required blocks from the last month's
assignment - you get to put a ticket in the jar. (up to 11 entries)
If you use the color that you drew from the crayon challenge in your quilt- you get a ticket in the jar (1 entry)
If you finish your quilt and let us use it in the quilt walk on Saturday, September 6th 2025 you get a ticket in the jar (1 entry)
What if your ticket gets drawn?!?
YOU WIN A FREE CUSTOM QUILT JOB courtesy of Jody Hoogland - worth up to $250+
Plus we'll probably have random prizes each month during the class too.
Are you excited to try a new challenge?!
Check out some of these ideas:
(and if you are needing additional color ideas for this quilt- be sure
to check out instagram, pinterest, and google- they are AMAZING and
inspiring!)
