Hello and welcome from an Iowa girl!
Another past 4-H'er here. You have a lifetime of creative pleasure ahead of you.
I've been teaching my GD's to sew. This past summer I had 4 of them ages 10-15 sewing. They each made a baby quilt from my scraps and the 13 yo LA'ed 2 baby quilts. I wish I would have gotten them going at the LA sooner as school has started. But there is always snow days ahead! I look forward to seeing what you have done.
