Betty's Bobbin Box

Today was absoutely fun!  Betty's Bobbin Box in Odessa, TX welcomed our Ector & Andrews County 4-H members into their store!  Betty's is a wonderful little place to get lost in fabric - especially if you have a tendency to enjoy quilting.  Here is their web address just in case you want to check it out //www.bettysbobbinbox.com/.

Our clothing members learned some basic sewing skills and took home a project embroidered with their name.  The staff at Betty's even supplied pizza to top off the project meeting.  WOW!  We will definitely be shopping at Betty's for all of our sewing and crafting needs!  Thank you to Kamie, Billie, and Elaine for making us feel right at home.  Pictures will be posted soon!

P.S.  Betty's Bobbin Box also does embrodiery work - if you will scroll down a little further you can see our food challenge team's aprons - which were done with their handy work! 

Quilt Challenge

Ector County 4-H was pleased to have a quilt entry in this year's Texas 4-H Roundup Quilt Challenge Contest!  Katie and Ryanne did a fabulous job putting their ideas together and coming up with this quilt!  In the quilt challenge, each team is given a challenge fabric that must be incorporated into the quilt design.  Quilts may have any design or theme but must incorporate the use of some of the challenge fabric in combination with other fabrics determined by the quilters!  Thank you to Kellye Lewis for leading this project.  If you would like to particpate in next year's quilt challenge, send us an email sfclawson@ag.tamu.edu or give us a call!

Food Challenge Team

The Food Challenge Team did an amazing job participating at Texas 4-H Roundup!  The competition was stiff with over 40 teams participating in the food challenge contest.  This was the first year for Ector County to have a Senior Food Challenge team.  They placed 5th in their category at the contest!  Congratulations to Blayne, Heston, Kye, and Tandie for a great year!
