| Impact Report | Nine youth participated in a series of 4-H quilting workshops held at the Otero County Extension Office. Youth participated in hands-on activities designed to increase life skills related to planning, organizing, goal setting, and critical thinking. The Home Economist and two adult volunteer 4-H leaders taught the workshop from the Stitchin and Quiltin! 4-H project book. 4-H members had the opportunity to complete several goals of the 4-H project including the Quick & Easy Pillowcase and the Quick & Easy Throw. 89% of youth reported their participation in the workshops as being a valuable experience. Of the nine youth participating in the workshops 89% reported they learned how to use special tools to quilt with, 78% learned how to use a sewing machine, 89% learned how to sew safely, 78% learned how to sew straight lines, and 78% learned how to pin items together for accurate stitching. When asked what participants liked best about the 4-H quilting workshops one 4-H member stated: “That Kelly (Home Economist) took the process step-by-step so we would understand it easier.” After the workshop 89% of the youth indicated that they would like to create additional quilting projects including nine patch quilt, rag quilt, rag throw and other quilts. |
