My mom was a leader, and when I was old enough to join, I did. It was mostly sewing.
Then, a woman started the first 'dog' club, and with our Sheltie, I won at the county level, and got to show at the stae fair.
I got so much from that program.
So then, I became a leader for a dog club because of my daughter, and she won at the state level. She already knew how to sew, and I credit those years in helping her to develop into the great young woman she is today.
I really enjoyed my sewing time in 4H, but I was not, and am still not, really into my sewing being judged
