Did sewing, crafts, canning, raising chickens, etc. Made it up to 4-H Allstars. Loved the competitions, fairs and camp.

Oh my gosh. I lived in a small town and then moved to our family farm when grandfather couldn't take care of it any more. Everything I know about sewing, I learned in 4-H. It was a wonderful program. I sewed, canned, cooked and redecorated my bedroom through 4-H. I took sewing in school and did a little in Girl Scouts, but 4-H taught sewing in a practical way. I hated making bound buttonholes, but have since had to do some. Clothes didn't have to look perfect on the inside as long as the item was well made, fit correctly and was beautiful on the outside. I used to win ribbons at our local fair. I juct can't say enough good things about 4-H. I'm sorry it is in danger of budget cuts.

I loved the 4-H meetings and especially liked the cooking. My mother had to finish my sewing projects because I hated that part of it. Now I have my own sewing business and love to quilt. Go figure.

Yep, sewing, cooking, knitting & gardening. Grew up on a farm so I did all that, but you often listen better to other adults so was taught by my mom, Grandma,leaders, neighbors and all the church ladies. So many valuable lessons and wonderful memories.

I remember saying that pledge at each meeting. Our area of Texas didn't have as active a 4-H program as more agricultural areas did, but we did sew and garden some. We had a neat group of girls. froggyintexas

thank you bakermom now I know wish I knew when my kids where growing up there was such thing

My entire family (9 kids) were all in 4-H from the first day we were old enough. I learned my sewing and almost any craft you could think of gardening, was in Jr. leaders, ect. Was so glad Mom put us all in there. We learned alot about meeting, working consesion stands ect. I could go on forever about 4-H.

are your kids to old????
