Giggles ‘n Stitches
Giggles ‘n Stitches 4-H Club has started its 2025 4-H year with monthly meetings through May and then weekly meetings in June and July. At the meetings, members and Cloverbuds work on their projects, attend demonstrations and learning events, and discuss club and county business topics.
The newly elected 2025 club officers are president, Rebecca Zallar; vice president, Isabelle Violette; secretary, Audrey Knaus; treasurer, Margaret Zallar; news reporter, Helena Haar; hospitality coordinator, Lauren Como; health and safety officer, Leah Samsonas; historians, Kate Moore and Molly Chaney; junior treasurer, Elin Serquina; and junior secretary, Lucy Weaver. The club’s lead advisor is Julia Wood, and Miranda Skitzki is project advisor.
Some of the members and their families went to the Sewing and Quilting Expo at the I-X Center to look at the amazing creations people had made and shop items vendors were selling that are sewing and quilting related. During the club field trip, members were able to select patterns and materials for their 4-H projects, as well as attend demonstrations and classes.
Club members, parents, grandparents, siblings and friends attended the Friends and Family Field Trip to Hobby Lobby in Mayfield Heights in May. It was especially helpful for the younger members to select project supplies and learn about different fabrics. Families finished the field trip by enjoying ice cream at Handel’s ice cream shop.
Several club families participated in the Auburn Township Roadside Clean-Up service project. The club members recently voted to support the Geauga County Keep Kids Sewing initiative by making a monetary donation. Club officers are planning additional service projects for the year.
Anyone interested in the club or any of the more than 35 Geauga County 4-H clubs may call the Geauga County Extension Office at 440-834-4656. (Submitted by Helena Haar, news reporter)
