Track: N/A

Description: Adams County and Steuben County Educators will share their experiences and resources from their 2024 Barn Quilt Creation Workshop Series. Not to be confused with hand-sewn fabric quilts, a barn quilt is a hand-painted wood piece to be hung outdoors. Held in both February and November using a hybrid, simulcasted format, the Educators taught lessons on color theory, geometry, history, science, mental health, and storytelling.

Presenters: Tami Mosier, 4-H Youth Development Educator, Steuben County; Amy Rumschlag, 4-H Youth Development Educator, Adams County
