No Entomology Meeting

I will not be holding any Entomology project meetings for the new 4-H year until at least December this year. I am having knee surgery soon and will need time to recover. If you have questions that I can answer by phone or by email feel free to contact me at:

vicky.wallace55@gmail.com

or (620)804-9170

Hope everyone had a great year. I have enjoyed getting to know a lot of new families and working with your children. Work on catching insects or getting pictures of insects until the weather turns cold. We can pin and identify when it is nasty outside!

Thanks, Vicky

Fiber Arts Quilting 101: The Basics

4-H accepted a generous donation of quilting fabric from the estate of a former Linn County 4-Her. We are creating a 4-H quilt to return to her son in gratitude for this gift. Bring your own sewing machine and a rotary cutter. You will create a block to donate to the quilt and one to take home for yourself, and a 12x12 cutting mat and quilt patterns. A limited supply of machines are available to loan. Adults are encouraged to stay.
