  6. I was 4H and loved it. I remember a green wool suit I won a state competition with - also, learned I was allergic to wool! I "kept at it!" I only wore the suit for judging.

  12. I was in 4-H so very long ago, learned alot and had lots of fun. Thanks for the purse pattern, a must do. Never have enough bags. Your fabric designs are among my very favorite.

  13. Yes, I was in 4-H too; learned much while sewing garments and the best was getting the ribbon to go to 'State' with my garment. The Blog Hop is a great idea--Thanks, Nancy G.

  15. I started 4H when I was 10 and that was when I fell in love with sewing. We learned so many things,I wish the 4H was as popular in our area today as it was 50 years ago the skills will last a life time.

  16. I wan not in 4H, a city girl. Our ASG group did help the 4H members to learn to sew. What a great idea, an online fair. Cute purse. Thanks, but I couldn't print, couldn't save. Is there a secret? Lillian

  17. Your memory of working on your 4-H project in the wee hours remind me of a green wool dress I was making for 4-H. Things were pretty tense as the lining would not cooperate. My nephew (probably 3 or 4) came over and in a sweet voice said, "Are you having problems, Nancy?" His words provided a much needed emotional release. The dress was finished by the deadline, but wearing it always reminded me of my nephew's compassion.

    I was active in 4-H for fifteen years (cooking, sewing, knitting, home improvement, and junior leader).

  27. Cute bag and cute fabric! No 4-H for me, but I do love a good fair and fair food. When else can you justify the calories?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Thank you so much for the cute pattern! We did not have 4H in Arizona back in the olden days but our 5 kids were in 4H and I recall the tears and last minute rush competing with baseball season! I still have Molly's lady bug pin cushion and Meredith's miniature quilt made with cheater fabric!

  29. Thank you for your giveaway. I would love to win some of your fabric because it is always so fresh looking. And the video was fun to watch, wish I could have seen you in person. No 4 H for me, my school was too urban I guess. :)

  30. Love the bag pattern! In 4-H I entered clothing and food. Along with showing horses and raising sheep! Loved 4-H!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I was never in 4-H but I learned alot from those that were! It's all about sharing, huh? Thank you for your wonderful pattern!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh, yes, 4-H! Won blue ribbons from fairs through the years I was a member. Our group only did sewing. My first project was a dark green corduroy beanbag with appliqued white 4-H symbol and couple years later, a blouse and skirt that I had to model. The skirt was several yards, gathered, and I swore I would never hem another one! Then I had 3 daughters...sewing was a necessity! And now I quilt--and love every minute!

  36. Not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but this hop looks mighty interesting!

  37. I love collecting fabric! this would be a nice addition to my stash. I wasn't a 4-H member, but my children were and I was talked into doing a couple of cross-stitch "classes" and a lot of chaperoning.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I've never been to a country fair nor eaten food on a stick, except in an Asian restaurant. But I love your designs! Thanks for the good work.

  39. Wanted to be in 4h as a kid, but mom preferred girl scouts...doing 4h with my kids...hope one of them gets the quilting bug!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thank you for the bag pattern and the give away.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Love your fabric. No 4h for me, but I would have loved it, had it been offered. We have a special corn dog here called the state fair corn dog. I get one every year. It is so yummy. It starts out my fall season perfectly. Thanks for the pattern. Take care.

  43. Hi,
    I was in 4-H also I remember making a bedspread for my twin bed. It was quilted fabric, white with little purple flowers. I made curtains with white and purple fabric.
    I might just make that little purse I love hands free shopping!!

  44. I was in 4-H and my mother was the club leader. I remember making clothing, entering it in the local county fair and actually winning some ribbons.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thank you for the pattern. I'm going to the L.A. County Fair on Sept. 17th. I'll try and make the bag and take it with me.
    Thank you again. This should be fun.

  46. I was never in 4-H, but my first year of teaching, I taught in a country schoolhouse where I had an entire grade each period of the day! When it was time for planting or harvesting, I would only have one or two students in a class...everyone else had to help with the harvest. I loved seeing their 4 -H projects!

  47. I was never in 4-H but my children are now! I may be taking over our county's "Needle and Thread" division. Need to decide if I have time for it.

  48. Love your bag pattern! It certainly beats taking a purse to county fairs. Thanks for the giveaway and can't wait to see what your quote will be tomorrow.

  50. Hi

    Not sure what 4H is but I have always had fabric, wool, and needle in my hand since I was 4. Genetics I think. Of all the genes to get from my parents, I am very glad to have this one. What else would I do with my days other than quilting

    ReplyDelete
  51. Love the little bag. It will be perfect for the essentials at Houston Quilt Festival.

  52. I didn't do 4H but when I stayed at my grandparent's farm in Kansas I often got to enter something in the fair. It was alot of fun. Good memories!

  56. I was in 4-H for several years when I was younger - I don't really remember what I took, but I think sewing and woodworking were involved...
