Mower County 4-H is seeking volunteers who like working with youth to assist with Sewing 101 and Quilting workshops.
The Mower County 4-H program is working hard at growing the Clothing and Textiles and Quilting projects to help teach youth valuable life skills. They are seeking individuals who are passionate about sewing and quilting to guide members through their projects and pass along skills needed to build confidence and desire to pursue the hobbies.
Mower County 4-H is making plans to hold workshops once a month, working on projects that will help members gain skills they need to complete projects, allowing them to exhibit at the 2019 Mower County Fair and potentially, the Minnesota State Fair.
Those interested need to fill out a survey at https://z.umn.edu/sewingvolunteersurvey or contact Mower County Program Coordinator April VonRuden at the Mower County Extension Office, 507-437-9552.
