Planning is the Key
Soo-ewing cool!
Williamson County 4-H is partnering with a local quilt guild to offer a new and exciting camp this summer: Quilting Camp! Do you have students who are interested in learning how to quilt or sew, but not sure where to start? Or do they already have some skills, and want to explore the artistry and craft behind quilting? Register to come to our Quilting Camp July 17th-21st from 9:30am-4:00pm at the County Extension Office. Participants will learn new skills (and possibly start a project to enter in the Williamson County Youth Fair!) under the guidance of a nationally recognized quilting instructor.
You do not have to be a 4-H member to attend.
Registration forms and payment are due to the Extension Office by April 21 for Early Bird pricing, and by May 31 for regular pricing.
See the flyer below and the Williamson County 4-H Website for the registration packet and additional information.
