Plan of Work: Relationships, Financial Education, Consumerism
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
In July 2021, 8 4-H youth attended a 4-day Quilting Day Camp. 4 volunteers assisted the FCS agent in teaching the youth to make an Ultimate Scrap Quilt. 12 large blocks made a twin bed sized quilt. The youth learned to sew cut the fabric pieces properly, sew a 1/4" seam and decide on the design when putting the blocks together. 7 of the youth tied the 3 layers of the quilt together with crochet thread and one parent had the quilt of the remaining child quilted professionally. The skills learned in the workshop not only help the youth to feel a sense of accomplishment, but the skills will also translate over to making home furnishings items in the future and to sewing clothing.
