Ogden, Utah, May 2009


Ladies,


The April showers are, indeed, bringing May flowers.

We will be putting some of those May flowers on our May project, i.e. the tassel. Yes, I am happy to report that Hazel is well and ready to teach. If you did not sign up before, you now have a second chance; notify me no later than 7:01pm Monday, 3rd.

Welcome to our new members:
     Karen Denning      Loreen Sjoblom
     Helen Mahoney     Penny Stratton
     Glenna Nielsen      Betty VanPelt
     Donna Richards     Rosanna Whetton

Also a welcome back to these members:
     Ronilynn Jenkins     Cheri Ringger
     Julie McFadden      Carol Wilson
     Jan Pecharich

Please introduce yourselves to one another and get know each other. Each one of you is very important to our Chapter.

Don’t forget that next month is our Appreciation get-together. The Victorian Tea will be a peek into a more formal way of life. If you would like, feel free to wear a Victorian style hat and/or other apparel.

With all the yard/garage sales that are popping out now, it should be easy to find a suitcase or other surface for Tirzah’s project. Below are some of her cute patterns or she will be glad to help you with your own pattern. Here is an opportunity to let your imagination run wild and have fun, fun, fun.

Take care and see you soon,

Rebecca/Becky/Reb

Lilacs for Mother Tassel

Teacher:  Hazel Rimmasch
Cost:      Class Fee          $7.50
              Tassel Topper   $7.50
              (Tassel topper is about 3" high and 2" in diameter.)

Prep Instructions: Base all of the topper in a mix of White and Primrose (1:1). Paint the top section and base of the topper with Primrose. Paint the center bead of the top section and the top bead of the bottom section with Amethyst.

Additional Supplies:

  2. Blue tape

    3. Medallion for base (may be purchased or hand made).
    4. Compatible yarns or threads for the tassel (2 or 3 kinds). They should be different textures and sizes. Each tassel will use between 5 - 10 yards of each yarn, depending on the kind of thread used. It is best to stay away from worstered yarns as they don't fall as pretty as some of the fancy yarns.




The Paint-in will be held at the Westwood Village Clubhouse (1111 N. 2000 W., Farr West, UT).
