The monthly meeting of the All Around All Stars 4-H Arts and Crafts club was weaving all sorts of new patterns and not just in their craft project. You see this month the club celebrated former club leader, Jessica Drake, becoming the new 4-H Agent in Cumberland County while realizing she would no longer be able to lead their club. At the same time Club leader Tanya Underwoood introduced the members to a new club leader Sandra...... She is very crafty and very excited about becoming a 4-H volunteer and working with our youth. While all of this adjustment in leadership was going on the club also welcomed a new club member, Madison, to their ranks. 
Of course the club worked on a skill they have been introduced to before, weaving, and worked on it in a different manner. Perhaps you remember the red plastic looms and elastic loops from your childhood? For our youth this was a fun new project and they were able to complete pot holders during their club meeting. They also learned about some other things they were able to make by weaving such as rugs, clothes, and placemats. It was a lot of fun making their colorful creations and learning how to do an age old craft.
