Hi Quilters! We are looking for someone to work 3 days per week at our Lewiston shop. If you are an energetic person who enjoys assisting people, teaching classes, and would like to be part of our team, you might be a great fit! We would prefer to hire someone with sewing skills, and who would be excited to be/become skilled at machine embroidery. 2125 14th Ave, Lewiston, Idaho 83501 homegrownquilts@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------- Our bi-annual quilt walk is coming up September 11th! This year we have a fun quilt challenge that everyone is invited to participate in. We decided that this year we will have everyone use the same quilt pattern- but you get to decide what fabrics to make it in. The quilt pattern is called Patch Party.  We can see people using stark contrasting fabrics, scrappy fabrics, batiks, ohhh man... so many wonderful images pop into mind. I can't wait to see what you come up with.  So how do you participate?  Just come into Home Grown Quilts and purchase your pattern. We will give you 15% off of the pattern and any fabrics you pick to make your quilt with.  At our quilt walk we will display all of the finished quilts together and let people vote on their favorite. The winner will get a fun prize!  ------------------------------------------ Save the date!  ------------------------- LAST MONTH TO ENTER !!!!  You have a few days left to finish up your UFO projects!  We're excited to see your projects, and who our March winner will be.  ------------------------------------------- We're having a Quilt Retreat!!  Where: Ashley Inn in Cascade, Idaho When: May 10-13th  Cost: $385 per person- in a double occupancy room Details: Come join us for four days of quilting fun!

If you are unwell, been tested for Covid, or been exposed to people with Covid-  please don't attend class. We understand not wanting to miss a fun learning and social experience, but it is unfair to put others at risk.   If you need to cancel attending a class, we will be delighted to try to reschedule the class for a future date.  ----------------------------------------------------------------- Check out Husqvarna Viking Specials for March Come in and play with our machines and see why Husqvarna Viking is the best in the industry! -------------------------------------------------------------------- We do Sewing Machine repair and Scissor Sharpening in house!  Don't forget after you finish working your machine for hours and hours, bring it on in to Roy for a good cleaning.

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.                                        Grangeville: Friday, April 9th @   5-Midnight  Grangeville: Friday, May 14th @ 5-Midnight Grangeville: Friday June 4th @ 5- Midnight **Call and reserve your seat!! 983-0254** The Cost of Friday Night Sewcial is $10.
