Samantha's 4-H project

Samantha participated in 4-H this year for her first time. Her friend Shelby invited her to join their group. Shelby's mom, Renee Peugh, was their 4-H leader.  Throughout the year they worked on cooking, sewing, and taking care of animals-mostly chickens.  Samantha had a lot of fun, and worked hard on her 4-H project.  She decided she wanted to make a frayed baby quilt for her project.  It took just over 10 hours for her to complete. This included going to buy the fabric, cutting out all the squares, sewing them together, fraying the edges, washing and drying it, and picking all the lint off of it.  Today I took her to the fair grounds to enter her quilt in the fair.  She was interviewed and received a blue ribbon for her project. We are very proud of her. She did a wonderful job! So did all of her friends.
