Your snowwoman is adorable! The hat and scarf are lovely accents and your quilting is exquisite.
More than that, though, I am thrilled that there are still folks like you willing to be 4-H leaders! I spent almost every Saturday at my leader's home from about 9 years old to around 17. Sadly, I really didn't have an appreciation for all Mildred (our leader) and actually her entire family gave to us.
I learned sewing (garment, quilting was not big at the time), cooking, rug hooking, furniture finishing... The list just goes on and on. She opened her home to us, patiently taught us so much, and continued to encourage us when we wanted to give up on a project. We did cherry and apple baking contests (those fruits grow with abundance where I grew up), fashion shows, entered projects in the county fair and more. It was long after she had passed, at much too young an age, when I realized what an impact she had on my life.
So - thank you for giving what you do to young people. I'm sure it's not always fun, but I'm more sure that you will have a lifelong impact on them.
Peace and Joy,
Robin
