Giggles ‘n Stitches

The Giggles ‘n Stitches Club recently attended the Geauga County Style Revue held at Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin on July 19. Members had to go through interview judging in the morning and a fashion show in the evening. They were judged on the quality of their project, skill at modeling and on their ability to make a complete outfit centered around their garment or accessories. Both of the scores they received for each were combined and then state qualifiers were picked to represent Geauga County.

While all members worked hard on their projects, some were awarded for something that set the project apart. Maggie Eibler was awarded Ohio State Fair qualifier and Outstanding of the Day in the Sewing for Others category. In the Shopping Savvy category, Graycen Wood was given state fair qualifier and Outstanding of the Day, with Sarah Ward as alternate.

Autumn Hamby is state fair qualifier and Outstanding of the Day, and Katherine Baumgartner won alternate for Creative Costumes. In Accessories for Teens, Elizabeth Cooper won alternate and Outstanding of the Day.

Kylie Nelson, Paige Gudger, Olivia Hall, and Katherine and Olivia Penzenik earned Outstanding of the Day awards, with Kylie Nelson earning state fair alternate in the Sundresses and Jumpers categories. Corrin Hamby earned state fair alternate and Outstanding of the Day in Loungewear.

Maggie Eibler earned the Junior Division Best Modeling award, and the Senior Division Best Modeling award went to Graycen Wood. Graycen also received a nomination for Lloyd & Doris Roby 4-H Clothing Program Award.

Club members will be modeling their projects at the Geauga County Fair Sept. 5 at 2 p.m. in the Junior Fair Building.
