Several years ago, the leaders took our 4Hers to a quilt show in Harrisburg, PA. We had given then a worksheet for things to look for. Two kids were assigned to one teacher and as we walked thru the racks and racks of quilts that were being auctioned, you'd hear their critical comments, "the points are off", "the quilting stitches are awful", or "uneven", or "crooked", the color selection was bad, etc, etc.
Even though many had struggled with silimar problems, they recognized what they would achieve as they matured. As teachers, we recognized that they had been paying attention when we suggested that, "next time . . . .". Love those kids. Suz
