Fall/Winter Class Schedule

Hi Quilters!

With the new chill in the air it only means one thing; time to get to work in the sewing room! Woo hoo!

This Friday night  (October 30th), Kathleen and Breezi will be hosting a super fun Sew-cial at the Grangeville Location!! Bring a snack, a project, and from 5pm-midnight we'll party like it's 1999!.... and if you wear a Halloween costume you might get prizes :D Please call 208-983-0254 to sign up! It's FREE but we need to make sure there is space available.

We have a new line up of classes for both our Lewiston and Grangeville stores. Be sure you read the locations so you end up in the right spot.  We welcome feedback on classes, so please let us know what you are interested in learning!
 


We would like to introduce Golden Day! Golden day is a day for all of you in your golden years (ages 60+...... no faking, hahaha). Come in on the first Tuesday of every month and receive 10% off of your purchase*

From our laps to yours,
Jody and her peeps at Home Grown Quilts

EVERY TUESDAY IS FREE OPEN SEW DAY AT BOTH HOME GROWN QUILTS LOCATIONS!! 10AM- 6PM!!!


We have changed up our Class Pass policy! Instead of offering you our class passes Nov-May/June-Oct, we are now offering our class passes to be valid from 6 months from date or purchase! For example, if you purchase your class pass in October 1st it is valid until April 1st. We hope this will maximize the potential of this superb offer!

If you are new to our Class Passes, this is how it works. When you purchase a Home Grown Quilts class pass for $75 adult or $35 child, your class fee is waived for all classes you attend! (Including our special classes like the beginning quilting course!)

Your class pass is valid for 6 months, however if you fail to show up to 2 classes you sign up for your pass is revoked and no refunds will be made.




We are doing a super fun MYSTERY QUILT!! This is a 5 month long pattern- and the 6th month (February 2016) we will do a Mystery Quilt Reveal Party along with a Mystery Dinner for those who participate. Patterns are free with the purchase of your fabric at Home Grown Quilts.
Every 1st Thursday of the month we will be here to guide you through your mysterious journey (heck, we'll even be staying open an hour later those days, until 6pm, so we can make sure you get to participate or just  get the help you need.) On those Thursdays our classroom will be open and available for you to come in and work on your block.
Come in to Home Grown Quilts today to get your fabric requirement list, and let the mysterious fun begin!

Hi Quilters!

From the bottoms of our hearts we want to thank you for attending our first ever Quilt Walk! It was such a success!

Classes, Quilt Walk, and more!

Hi Quilters!

We had a BLAST at the Crazy 8 Shop Hop- it was so fun to see a lot of you! Thanks for coming to visit and chat with us!

It's that time again to send your kids off to school (hooray!), what a great time to show the kids that you can learn too, by signing up for some classes.

We have revised our class policies a bit- so please pay attention to them. Lately we have heard concerns about classes not ending on time, especially pertaining to Kid's Camp classes. We will try hard to have your child complete projects in class during the designated class time.  In order to accomplish this, the child must be in their seat, machine ready to go and their project pre-cut at starting time.  If you are late, or if the project is not precut, then your child will most likely not get his/her project completed in class. If the project is not completed in class and your child needs instructions, we can try to make arrange a time to meet. With Kids classes the instructor usually make the patterns up- which means there is usually  not a physical pattern to hand out if your kiddo doesn't finish the project. All of these requests we are making are so everyone gets quality instruction time and projects will be completed within the time frame scheduled. We will no longer be going over in class time.  If you as a parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle/etc have questions about pre-cutting, please come in before the day of the class and we will be happy to help. We love your talented kids, we are thankful for them- they really are amazing! We hope that things will run more smoothly in the future.

We have some exciting announcements coming in the near future- like BIG EXCITING THINGS... and we can't wait to share! Stay tuned!

Until then, sit back with your calendar and a cool refreshing drink, and pick the classes you are going to sign up for :)

We'll see you soon!
From our laps to yours,
Jody and the gals at Home Grown Quilts

We also understand that advanced sewers need quick projects that are gorgeous that you can finish in less than a day.
Here is the solution to all of that!
We are doing 4 classes that come out of ONE book-  Scrap-basket Sensations.
That's right... you purchase one book for FOUR classes. The quilts can come from scraps or a brand new jelly roll. And.... these quilts were put together from first cut to last stitch on the borders in under 8 hours (including time to referee 4 crazy kids).

We have an AMAZING instructor coming all the way from Vale, Arizona to teach TWO classes at Home Grown Quilts- Swan Sheridan, owner of Swan Amity Studios! We are lucky to have her come and share her talents (you may remember we had her trunk show last summer).


Water Coloring Fabric Class
Wed, July 15th @ 10am-2pm
Cost: $45 (or FREE with Class Pass)

Swan swears you do not need artistic talent to do this class. She also promises you will thoroughly enjoy this class. This class provides the fundamentals of creating watercolor paintings on PFD fabrics. Students use both Inktense color blocks and pencils to draw their design and blend color, making the most of their creativity. Class also covers fixing errors and preparing the painting for quilting.

Here is a student's finished painting after her last class (and the student swore she had no talent at all).



Free Motion Quilt Class
Thurs, July 16th @ 10-2pm
Cost: $45 (or FREE with class pass)

Swan has her own amazing unique style of Free motion that she is willing to share. If you have seen any of her skills, you will RUN to sign up for this class! Filling those small spaces and creating texture in spaces of all size often calls for micro-quilting. Using simple and familiar stippling concepts, micro-quilting becomes a readily available technique that machine quilters are sure to love. This class focuses on three basic stipple shapes that can be manipulated into a variety of micro-quilting fills.

Swan will also have a trunk show on both days of new projects and patterns that combine that with some pattern signing times as well as some Q&A regarding techniques!

Textured Pillow Class

**Each class has a Supply List. There may be additional class costs for special sewing supplies, such as patterns, or special rulers, etc.  Fabric requirements will be listed.  Once you register for your class and receive your Supply List, you will qualify to receive a 15% discount on all required supplies. To receive the discount, you must have your Supply List with you when you make your purchase.   NOTE:  Students are required to have their own patterns and tools during classes.  This enables the classes to stay on the curriculum schedule rather than having the class wait while students borrow supplies from each other.**
