April 2017 Newsletter

Hi Ladies, 

From what I have heard everyone had a great time painting with Brenda last month while I was away painting with Misha.  I had a wonderful time as well.  Hope you are all looking forward to painting with Kristen this month.  I know that I am.  Please come to meeting for at least a little while since the projects and signups for retreat will be there.  Shonnie has a wonderful time planned for us.  

Hopefully all of you heard about the passing of Dorothy Orton.  She was such a fun person to be around.  We have missed her since her health worsened and or thoughts and prayers  are with her family.

  At board meeting we were looking toward opening social and the month is so busy that were are planning on having it August 26^th.  I know that is late in the month and different than out usual week so please put it on your calendar so you won’t miss out.

                                                        Happy Painting and see you in a week!

                                                        Judy

Upcoming Projects

April 15 - 9:00 am

Kristen Birkeland will be teaching the beautiful rosemaled tree.  Kristen made up her own pattern.  It is a bit "Christmasie" for April, but it will give us a chance to get it done in time for Christmas!  Kristen did two sides to the tree.  The first one below is the one we will be painting.  When you come to the class she will provide the pattern for the other side of the tree.  The wood has already been handed out.  If you want to purchase a pattern only the cost is $10.00  

This is the pattern we will be painting in the class.

When you come to class, you will be given this pattern for the back side.

May 6th  - 9:30 am    

This box is a replica of an antique apple basket taught by Lisa Peck.  Lisa has a few more boxes available.  She will bring extra boxes to the March meeting.  The cost is $38.00 for box and pattern or $10.00 for pattern only.  

May 20 - 9:00 am

Rosemaling basket taught by Tirzah Probasco.  The wood and basket for this project is no longer available so you will need to bring your own wood (at least 12" x 12").  The pattern cost is $10.00.
