Flashbacks of the old "Stitch-n-Stew" 4H in my rural little town. I remember making an apron. Then took a couple of years of Home Ec (but still can't cook) and made myself a prom dress and knit a baby blanket.

I did learn to sew in 4-H and started with an apron. I did get to where I was making clothing and did model a dress and smock shirt, it was the 70's. I also took home-ec in school. My mother was a sewer but she is not a good teacher but could help solve problems when I had them.

Not in 4 H. Camp Fire Girls. Loved it and just kept on sewing when ever the the time allowed.

Ah, yes, memories. I learned to hem in 4H and darn a sock.Learned crochet from my oldest sister and embroidery from my mama. She gave me a basket for my birthday or xmas or something with everything I needed when I was about 10. I was thrilled. She made lots of quilts (scrap type) but my first was when I was almost 60 -- a pineapple in a class where I worked because they needed one more person to do the class..

yes i sure did start in 4-H when i was 8, stayed active in 4-H through high school along with home-ec in school. pretty much made all my own clothes (and lots for siblings) all through school. continued to make clothes for my children. made a couple quilts when the kids were little but did not get seriously into all consuming quilting until they were grown up and out of the house.

I was a city girl no 4H in our area. Learned everything from my wonderful Aunt. She was still hand quilting at the age of 82.

My mom taught me to sew but I was in 4-H for years. I watched mom quilt but have just recently, after retirement, started quilting and now it is a passion. I have even upgraded to my second longarm, a HQ18 Avante and love it. A goof friend got my HQ16 so I have a buddy quilting.
