Youth Quilting Clinic – Sat, Feb 4th *Updated*
Jefferson County 4-H is partnering with Quilts of Valor to offer Quilts of Valor Annual Sew Day, which is Day #2 of the youth quilting clinic.

Guided by experienced Under Our Wings mentors, beginning quilters will make their own Quilts of Valor for service members in their communities. This clinic is open to youth ages 14-18 with an interest in sewing and quilting. No sewing experience required. All supplies and equipment are provided. Space is limited.
