My sister taught me to sew the year before I was old enough to join(I must have been 9-you had to be 10 back then)I took a sewing project every year until i was too old. DH and I are now advisors, all my kids went through 4H until they aged out. All four girls are quilters and my sonca sew, too. As someone pointed out before-4H isn't just for farm kids. It has really taken hold in cities with school enrichment and afterschool clubs.
