Come join us every Wednesday from 9:30-11:30 (or longer if you want to keep plugging away) at Home Grown Quilt in Grangeville to build and create comfort in the shape of a warm quilty hug for our fellow community members!
We need people to cut and make quilt kits, people to sew quilt tops, people to put the quilt together (top/batting/backing), people to bind quilts, people to donate good quality quilting fabric and batting. Together we can serve and aid the people in our town in their time of need. 


*****************
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!

We have partnered with a few fabulous machine embroidery companies to bring you way to shop online AND still support your local quilt shop!

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.
