Utah Guild of Heritage Artists: February 2022

Winter Olympics in Beiijing, China -- Go U.S.A. Team!

February is upon us. The days are getting a bit longer.

Thanks to Betty Van Pelt for teaching in January. It was such fun. I finished mine and it is on the porch.

Since so many of us are going to Las Vegas, we will not be getting together with the Guild in February. However, Loretta is teaching a fun project for March. It is an Erika JoAnn pattern.

Let Gail know whether you want the pattern or pattern and kit (which is the wood blocks). Gail's email address is: chatgail@yahoo.com. We will order everything, and we will have kits with a small frame cut from the Cricut, a 2” wooden disc for yarn ball as well as some buttons. There is prep on this piece. Each block has scrapbook paper glued on with Mod Podge to the front of each and let it dry. (There is a YouTube video of how to glue scrapbook paper on wood if you have questions.) I used light colors; one of light green with dots, one pink, and the others beige. You could make a banner if you do not want to glue onto blocks. I would paint onto watercolor paper and do some mixed media on the background if you wanted such as a chevron stamp or some pale watered-down splattered colors.

Kay will teach the concrete cat in April. Judy Graham will be teaching a floral box in May. No price yet. Thanks to all the ladies that have agreed to teach.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Healey

UGHA President
