Classes and Happenings

Hi Quilters! We are officially announcing our Bi-Annual Quilt Walk.... along with a plea for you to bring your quilts into either of the Home Grown Quilt locations so that we can proudly display your beautiful quilts. Without your help, our quilt walk will be an utter failure. This is such a great event for the whole community to be a part of.... so.... please, please, pretty please bring your quilts :D We still have a few lonely unfinished quilt tops that need to be adopted/finished before the quilt walk. Time is running short to get them done before Sept 7th! We seriously appreciate you who have already adopted a top- and the ones we have gotten back are done so well! We have had about 8 lovely ladies who have said they would love to bind any quilts that are done if those who are quilting them don't want to bind them.  If you are one who doesn't love binding, bring your quilt to us and we'll get it to the right people.  It takes a village to support a village, and we are grateful for your help! Come into either of our locations to adopt a quilt top that will benefit the Animal Rescue Foundation and the Lewis Clark Animal Shelter. ... and remember all fabric and batting for these quilts will be sold at 40% off!  ------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our Amazing Husqvarna Viking Specials for July Come in and play with our machines and see why Husqvarna Viking is the best in the industry!  We will see you soon!

So many great specials!

Hi Quilters!

We have had a great response from our service opportunity email- we've had almost 45 lovely quilters who have graciously adopted a quilt top to benefit our animal shelters and we only have a little over 40 tops left to be adopted!!  Time is running short to get them done before Sept 7th!

We have had about 8 lovely ladies who have said they would love to bind any quilts that are done if those who are quilting them don't want to bind them.  If you are one who doesn't love binding, bring your quilt to us and we'll get it to the right people.  It takes a village to support a village, and we are grateful for your help!

Come into either of our locations to adopt a quilt top that will benefit the Animal Rescue Foundation and the Lewis Clark Animal Shelter. ... and remember all fabric and batting for these quilts will be sold at 40% off!
