Young 4-Hers and quilts go hand-in-hand!
The young 4-Hers do the sewing and adult quilters assemble, sew and finish the quilts. You may ask, "How can I help with this?" We need supplies ...
*Do you have fabric??? - Bring it to the extension office!
*Do you have thread or batting??? - Bring it to the extension office!
*Do you quilt and could volunteer a little time???- Let us know!
*Do you know a quilter??? - Invite them to help!
Community Service days will be June 11-12-13.
Also, if young 4-Hers would like to sew at home, come in anytime and pick up a quilt kit.
Good Luck!
