I never reallly thought about it much before, but today I got a thank you note from my mom for the Spicy Spiral I gave her for Christmas.
In it, she mentioned the 4-H leader I had for many years, Mildred Magee. How that woman (and her husband!) put up with several girls descending on their home every Saturday, I'll never know.
We never did a quilt, but in addition to cooking and woodworking, did do a lot of garment construction. When I first decided to do a quilt, in the early 80's, I had long since stopped 4-H (the club disbanded with our graduation as we were all in the same class with Mrs. Magee's younger daughter). No rotary cutters, no acrylic templates. Cardboard, a pencil and scissors with fabric from K-Mart!
Lol, I gave myself permission to pitch that WIP a few years back. Couldn't stand the nasty blue poly-blend fabric. But what I learned in 4-H will be with me forever.
