Are you interested in learning how to quilt or sew, but not sure where to start? Or do you already have some skills, and want to explore the artistry behind quilting? WilCo 4-H is hosting a 4-H Quilting Camp July 14th – 18th from 9:30am-4:00pm at the County Extension Office. Come learn some new skills (and possibly start a project to enter in the Williamson County Youth Fair!). You do not have to be a 4-H member to attend. Registration forms and payment are due to the Extension Office by June 16th, but hurry as spaces are limited!

Here are some additional details on the camp:

• The camp will be taught by a nationally recognized quilting instructor – Kathy Groves from BobKat Quilts – and assistant volunteers will include members of the local Chisolm Trail Quilt Guild. At the end of the week, you will have your own quilt top and other projects!
• Register by submitting registration packet (linked above) with your payment ($100 per youth) to the County Extension Office. The deadline is June 16th. Cash or checks are accepted. Make checks payable to 4-H Adult Leaders
• We have space for a maximum of 20 participants – sign up soon!
• What’s included in your registration fee:
  • All material needed, unique patterns created for this workshop, pins, thread, scissors, etc.
  • Individual instruction and assistance
  • Snacks and beverages
• What participants need to bring:
  • Lunch for each day
  • A sewing machine (we have a limited number of machines that can be reserved to borrow – first come, first served!)
  • For experienced participants, if you have your own notions (thread, scissors, bobbins, etc.) that you use regularly, you may bring those to use.
