Williamson County 4-H Quilting Camp

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 17th-21st 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 12th. 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 block of your chosen pattern – you can choose to finish this into a pillow cover to take home, OR you can continue working on it after the camp to finish a quilt of your own!
• Register by submitting registration form, waiver, and media release (linked below) with your payment ($100 per youth) to the County Extension Office. The deadline is June 12th. Cash or checks are accepted.
  • NEW! A generous member of the Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild is offering a scholarship to a limited number of youth who want to attend our Williamson County 4-H Quilting Camp. This scholarship is intended to help youth attend who have a financial need that would otherwise prevent them from participating. To apply, please fill out this form by June 12th. If selected, your registration fee will be covered and you will receive information on completing registration.
• We have space for a maximum of 25 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

If you have any questions, please contact Brittany.Allen@ag.tamu.edu
