Giggles ‘n Stitches
An active 4-H season by the Giggles ‘n Stitches sewing club is coming to a close. The club participated in Style Revue in July and the club was able to have multiple state fair qualifiers who went on to accomplish amazing things at states. Emily Tessean won Outstanding of the Day and the clock trophy for her Self-Determined Quilt and Audrey Knaus won Outstanding of the Day for her You Can Quilt project. Kate Moore won Outstanding of the Day for her photography project and the clock trophy for Best of Show photograph. Also, Helena Haar was selected as a finalist for the master clothing Educator Award in the senior division for her Dress Up Evening Wear. Anne Drockton was awarded Outstanding of the Day in the Sew Fun junior category. All of the girls chosen to represent Geauga County did a great job at states.
To complete the season, the club has participated in multiple service opportunities. The club decided to collect donations for the Geauga County Dog Shelter in July. Members also made no-sew blankets for the veterans that were given to them during the Geauga County Fair.
The club’s year concluded at the Great Geauga County Fair, where they displayed their garments and projects in their fair booth in the junior fair building. The club also participated in the fair’s style show and other events, including the milkshake booth.
The year has gone better than the club could have guessed and everyone is proud of each other.
