Christmas in July Ornament Paint In

It's that time again, time to paint ornaments.  I'm sending this out now because I will not be here next week, I will be in New York with my family for two graduations.  If I receive more information before the 12th, I will enclose it, not sure if I can add pictures though as I will be working on my IPAD.  Janice L has sent the info for her ornaments as you will see below.  Margaret has switched dates with Beverly since she will be in Houston at that time.  So, y'all have fun!



For Janice's class:


Bring your black 01/05 Micron pen and a No. 2 pencil with eraser.  That's all that is required.

Optionally, you can bring transfer paper, scissors, colored pens/pencils, or watercolors of almost any kind.

I will provide cut-to-size white card stock, if you want to trace an ornament pattern to mount on another surface after drawing your tangles; five ornament outlines to trace or tangle on; a practice sheet; pictures of tangle patterns from Suzanne McNeill's book Zentangle Basics.  To the best
of my ability, I will show how to draw some of the patterns.

Three of my mounted ornaments are shown in the photo.

June paint in....


Hey everyone, I hope everyone is having a nice summer.  Doing some fun things  with family.  We did  not have a NWSO meeting in May, we just had the Quarter Party.

Here is some NWSO meeting notes from our June Paint-In. 
Meeting started about 1030am

President comments:  I received a letter from the IRS stating they receive our paperwork and it will  take 90 – 180 days to process.  The IRS also said, if there areany problems or questions with the paperwork, I would get a call or another letter stating what needs to be corrected.  

Treasurer Report:  I sent an email to everyone about the treasurers report.  One change on the treasurer report,  Jackys coping cost was for the IRS paperworkinstead of quilt copies Our balance as of May 22, 2014 is $894.75 not counting what we received in June.

Membership Dues are coming up in October and selecting new NWSO officers as well. 
We can talk about having another Quarter Party for September when we meet at theJuly Paint-In.

A couple of reminders for members:
Quilt Raffle is not that far off  Please sell your tickets Raffle Date is 4 October 2014
For July  If you are one the individuals teaching a Christmas Ornament could you please send a picture of what you are painting to Brenda for the Blog or me and I will pass it on everyone

Also attached is a picture of what happened in our June Paint-In. 
See you all soon.

Painting on magnolia leaves...

Who would have thought to paint on leaves?  Sandy did.  Unfortunately her husbands illness prevented her from coming today (hope he is doing better now), but Margaret got us started.  Here are a few pics of the ones done in class..
