<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We began our 2013 - 2014 4-H year with a lunch meeting on Nov. 1. Bronte came an hour early to help prepare lunch for the rest of the club members. The lunch menu was planned to represent a good example of MyPlate, see (ChooseMyPlate.gov), which promotes healthy eating, and can be very tasty. We had Fruit and Cheese Kabobs and Fruity Shake from <u>4-H Cooking 101</u>, melted cheese, beef, and peppers on french bread, and sweet potato oven fries. We skipped dessert because of Halloween the night before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After electing new officers and other business items, we helped Jenna finish her service project of making blankets for foster children by tying two quilts. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures that day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We decided to do service projects for our work meetings until the members get started doing their fair projects so our meeting held Nov. 15 was spent making nine fabric drawstring bags for someone who is putting together personal care kits which will be sent to Ethiopian women. As can be seen from the photos, the girls were</span> busy sewing, serging, cutting, pressing, measuring and putting cording into casings. New and old skills were practiced.</span><br />

Hard work brings rewards and the girls were surprised and gratified by the results of the judging of their entries this year. There were many blue ribbons, champion ribbons, reserve champion ribbons, and special awards earned through their efforts to finish and do their best.<br />
<br />
I know that some of our club members were working right up to judging day on finishing the last details and paperwork on their many 4-H projects. I am proud of them for setting goals and working hard to reach them this year.<br />
<br />
These photos show the winning entries from our club for champion and reserve champion awards. Several of the girls were out of town so are not shown in the pictures taken at the fair.<br />

The girls had set a goal to have their fair projects by July 1 so we had a work meeting to help them do that yesterday.<br />
<br />
Three of them finished their pastel artwork, Autumn will finish hers this week. Jenna made another zipper pouch because she used her first one for a birthday gift (they do make great gifts). Chloe worked on her self-designed crocheted purse and learned how to decrease to shape it.<br />
<br />
Some of the girls prepared and sewed fair labels into their fabric entries.<br />
<br />
After working for an hour and a half or so, they changed into swim suits and we went to a neighborhood pool down the street (thanks, Deborah, for letting us come). They swam, played pool tag, and had a great time in the water for an hour. Great fun on a 90 degree day!<br />
<br />
These photos show what they have been doing the past few weeks as they prepare for fair judging day coming up on July 20.<br />

Our monthly 4-H Club business meeting was held today. We tried to keep it short so we would have plenty of time to work on projects, but we did take time to share with each other our favorite books or authors for roll call today.<br />

Bronte, in her last year of being a 4-H clover bud, brought the fleece pillow she has finished. Doing her owl pillow, she was able to practice the skills of enlarging a pattern, cutting, placement of design, doing the blanket stitch by hand, machine stitching and stuffing the pillow. Very cute.<br />

Today she measured, cut out, pressed, and began sewing up a pillow case from fabric matching a quilt her mother is making for her. She just needs to sew the French seam around the edge and it will be finished. Good job, Bronte.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> today, Alexa gave us a presentation from</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> a school report she had done on Holland.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> She chose the subject because her great, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">great grandparents immigrated from there</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to America in 1907. We learned some</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> interesting facts about the country.</span><br />

Of course most of us had done some knitting before, but it had been long enough that all of us had to be reminded (or shown for the first time) how to cast on. Thanks, Sarah, we enjoyed it.<br />

Our main activity was painting an owl using the techniques I learned years ago in decorative painting. It was difficult for some of them since it was the first experience for most of them to use oils (water mixable). I think they did well on their little owls painted on brown grocery bag paper. Practice makes perfect!<br />

We finished all the zipper pouches, some worked on their bird sketches, Autumn gave us a presentation on the benefits of having natural light in photography, we all enjoyed eating popcorn and ending our meeting watching a new "Kid History" on You Tube! The last one was impromptu, not a planned activity. <br />
<br />
The girls did learn a little about putting in zippers, namely how to use a zipper foot, that you can actually sew over the zipper if you do it very slowly and carefully and avoid the tab and the end piece, that topstitching on a pouch zipper holds the fabric back so it won't get caught in the zipper, and makes it look nicer, and that sewing in a zipper is a skill worth having. It does take practice, though, so I hope they will do more of it in their sewing projects.Diannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15158387885295653785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655093550589463750.post-73224884776701619312013-02-07T21:30:00.000-08:002013-02-07T21:30:08.802-08:00Zippering!!<br />

The zippered pouch is a fun way to be introduced to working with a zipper, learning the dangers of letting the needle get too close to the plastic or metal parts, etc. We got to about half way through and will finish next time. The girls chose some colorful fabrics, don't you think? </span><br />

We have nine members or ten if you count me (the leader). Seven of them come to meetings, one is an independent member who had been a regular member in the past but is now too involved with many other things (as most 16 year-olds are) to attend our meetings. She was a wonderful mentor for us last year teaching those who were interested in our group (nearly everyone) how to do pastel paintings. They all exhibited their work at the fair last year and loved it. The other independent member is the younger sister of some of our members who wanted to start being a Cloverbud this year and will do it at home with the help of an older sister since we are taking some time off from having separate Cloverbud projects as part of our meetings, if that makes any sense. Sometimes it just gets too complicated to do it all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The way we work our meetings (after trying different things over the years) is that we have a regular business meeting the first week of each month, and on the third week of each month we have a work meeting where the members can bring things they need help with, or (and this is usually the case) I present an activity that I know they are interested in learning about, or I present something I know is important for them to learn in order to do the projects they plan to do for fair. So we have just two meetings each month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This year at each of our 1st meeting of the month, a member is required (by me) to give a presentation of their choice of subject. I did the first one in December to show an example of how to do it. I did mine on how to plan and begin a quilt project. In January, a girl gave one on how and when to use the whip stitch. We have enough meetings before fair to schedule each member to do one presentation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This year our club goals are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Do presentations in club meetings</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. Do services projects (Our quilt)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Do field trips to a quilting shop (Done) and to a floral shop to learn flower arranging</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. Everyone do a record book, 5th graders and up(Last year 3 did them)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5. Do at least 2 projects for fair</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6. Have projects done (or at least started) before fair entry date June 14.</span>Diannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15158387885295653785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655093550589463750.post-72684362049992760012013-02-01T13:42:00.000-08:002013-02-01T13:42:10.676-08:00We finished it!As a 4-H service project we decided to make a quilt starting in October. A design was chosen and we went to a quilt shop in downtown Forest Grove to see a sample of a finished quilt made from that pattern. The girls were given 5 piece blocks to sew together at home and during our work meetings. We finished the 23 sixteen inch square blocks that we needed in December, and in January I quilted it and put the binding on using my sewing machine. Some of the girls helped mark it and others made the binding strip.<br />

It was sent on January 29th to an organization in New Jersey that is collecting quilts to give to victims of Hurricane Sandy. Here is a photo of it. It was a big job but we think it is beautiful.Diannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15158387885295653785noreply@blogger.com0
