New 4-H Quilter Wins a Special Ribbon!
I have to share this with you all--I have been leading a 4-H project group in quilting this year. This quilted bag was made by the youngest girl in the group, a 12-year-old! With my help, she learned to draw her own pattern on freezer paper. Then she selected her fabrics an did all the construction. She learned to cut with a rotary cutter, match her corners when piecing (and rip them out and try again when she missed), and put in a full lining with a zippered pocket inside! Throughout the process she would occasionally ask, "will the judges look at this" when referring to a detail she didn't feel was just right. I would tell her, "yes, they probably will". Then she would do her best to make it right.
All of her effort and attention to detail paid off!
Here is a picture of her bag displayed in the 4-H building at the county fair last weekend.
