The Giggles ‘n Stitches 4-H Club has excitedly kick started its 2022 year. The club is led by lead advisor Julia Wood as well as advisors Miranda Skitzki and Jackie Hammonds. With many upcoming events and opportunities, club members are looking forward to starting their year.
At the March 19 meeting, the club officers for 2022 were elected. They are: Rebecca Zallar, president; Samantha Sunderhaft, vice president; Dorothy Hernandez, secretary; Emma Parker, treasurer; Emily Tessean, news reporter; Margaret Zallar, hospitality coordinator; Isabelle Violette, historian; and Elliana Majors, Madelyn Tessean and Gianna Aquila, health and safety officers. These officers help keep the club in order and make it the best it can be. Congrats to all.
The annual Sewing and Quilting Expo was held from April 7-9 at the John S. Knight Center in Akron. The expo offers many vendors, classes and exciting shows, events and exhibits. One event at the expo is the Sewing’s Next Generation Fashion Show, where youth sewers and quilters can enter a project they created and compete for a prize, while showcasing all of their hard work. This year, four Giggles ‘n Stitches members entered into the show, each presenting a project they had created and modeling in the fashion show.
Upcoming events include the annual JoAnn’s field trip, on May 7 and the first sewing meeting on May 25. At the JoAnn’s field trip, members picked out their patterns, fabric and notions for this year’s project. It is an exciting event, as members get to take their first step in creating their project. At the first sewing meeting, members will begin constructing their project, and the younger members will begin to learn all about sewing.
