March Project

The project for March will be one of the panel designs from a seminar JoSonja taught at her studio last year.  This is a whimsical piece depicting Bunnies at work and play.  
Judy Graham will be teaching this.  If you haven't signed up to take this class there is still time.  You will provide your own surface.  You will have to make arrangements to get the pattern so you can adapt it to your painting size.  If you have questions please contact Lisa or Judy. 
The surface is based in with one of Jo's newer colors, Sea Grass.  I know Judy is going to try hard to get this piece completely finished so that means you will need to have all of the prep work done before class begins.  
An FYI for those of  you who might be painting on the box supplied by Jo. If you remove the two side lids, be sure you mark them well as to what side they belong on and take careful note as to the correct side to transfer the pattern on to.

Look What Else is Going On

If you haven't marked your calendar's for the upcoming JillyBean Fitzhenry Seminar now is the time to mark it out. Please make arrangements to join us for this fun two day seminar. April 11, 12, 2014.  If you cannot be with us for both days you can take just one day. 

Friday - April 11 project

Isn't this the cutest momma and baby!  Who wouldn't want to paint this? 
We will paint all day and don't forget, lunch is included in the price. 










Saturday - April 12 
White Rose
Same as Friday, this will be an all day class with lunch being served.  Hope to see you all there.   

Our project for May 17th will be whatever you choose. This will be the first UFO that we have had in a long time. Now is the time to bring your unfinished project from Vegas, or National or that one that has been haunting you for the past 10 years to get finished up.  You really want to get it finished, really you do. Now is the time to get-er-done!  For those of you who do NOT have a UFO to work on, give me a holler, I have enough for the entire group.

Don't forget our annual Retreat scheduled for June 19, 20, 21.This will be held at JoLynn's Summer home in Midway. This is always a treat. The project pieces will be on display at our April Meeting which is Jillybean's two day seminar.

Please keep in mind our annual service project which we will compile during our August Opening Social. Please start to gather your unwanted, slightly used dresses.  We will donate them to the Woman's Guild.They will be given out to women who need to look professional while interviewing for employment.

If you have a project that you would like to share or a painting tip that you have learned please feel free to share it with us. Send the information to Hazel for posting.
