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.

Introducing:
Home Grown Quilt's 2025 Quilt Walk Challenge Quilt

  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, June 8th @ 10-1
Saturday, July 13th @ 10-1
Saturday, August 10th @ 10-1
etc....
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!)

Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles- In the Hoop-  Quilting
Grangeville: Friday, July 12th @ 10-3
  Instructor:   Tindy Hunter
Class Fee: $10 (or FREE with class pass) + Supplies 


Using the House Seasonal Runner, we will use the Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles to quilt our project. 
**Or if you don't want to make the runner bring a project that you need quilted! **  

So…What Are Clear Blue Tiles?

Clear Blue Tiles are a complete system for quilting on your home embroidery machine. The stitching goes through all three layers of a quilt sandwich (back fabric, batting, and top fabric), with traditional, continuous quilting on both sides of your project. Clear Blue Tiles help you (easily!) achieve the look of custom quilting in-the-hoop, without having to worry about math formulas or carefully lining up the elements of a design. It all just flows, like you’d used a long-arm machine!

And all you do is place your tile(s), mark your fabric, and choose the embroidery file to match the size. Clear Blue Tiles have the same scale as all of the coordinating embroidery designs, so you can use a variety of tiles on the same project for professional, finished results.

Kimberbell's exclusive background quilting designs include swirls, loops, border swirls, border loops, and delightful variations for winter, spring, summer, and fall. Also included are six “Bitty Blocks,” 2×2” designs that can be used in corners or as fun surprises in your quilting. With all of the designs and file sizes, there are 372 total quilting files included on the Clear Blue Tiles USB, and the Seasonal Table Runner gives you the chance to discover and delight in all the possibilities.
