UTAH GUILD OF HERITAGE ARTISTS
March, 2013 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE………Another month. I had a fun time, learning new techniques from teachers, and it was great to see so many from the Guild at the Las Vegas convention. I plan to finish my projects as soon as possible. It would be really fun if everyone who went and had classes could bring their projects to our March meeting and share the fun and new designs. The weather was so nice in Las Vegas, it was a treat for all of us. I hope everyone is looking forward to taking on the challenge of beautiful watercolor roses. It should befun, something new for some of us,which is what we all need...new things, because that's what keeps us all young at heart. Hope to see everyone on the 16th. Remember daylight savings time starts on the 10th.

March Meeting……March. 16, 2013.…..9:00 a. m. Glenna’s Studio
This month our project is a beautiful watercolor painting of yellow roses. It will be taught by Jacque Illguth. She is such a talented artist and this is an original design. She will bring the paper, paint and pattern. The price is just $15.00. You just need to bring your own brushes.

February Meeting
We had such a great class in February. It was one of the most well attended meetings we’ve had in a long time. Those who painted were certainly rewarded by the teaching skills of Judy Graham. She is a beautiful painter and great teacher. Thanks, Judy from all of us. I was so sad that I had not based my project in so I could paint it that day. I think everyone got most of their project finished.
It was great to see Kristin Birkeland, LaRae Anderson and Cheri Ringger there. We haven’t seen them for a while. Welcome, ladies, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Welcome, also, to the ladies from the Provo chapter who were there. It is great to have you. Come anytime.

Hopefully, we will have projects and sign-up sheets for Retreat at the March meeting. We voted on several places to hold Retreat this year and ended up at JoLynn’s cabin again.. Thanks to JoLynn for her great generosity in hosting us and to Lisa for offering her facilities.

Editor’s Note: I have spent over 180 hours going to my daughter’s in South Jordan to sew costumes for my grand-daughter who has the lead in the Scarlet Pimpernel play at the Riverton Arts. I haven’t sewed that much for years and certainly not all at once. It’s been five weeks, non-stop. I hope we’ll finish this week because I am going to Disneyland on Wednesday with my son and grandson. Besides, I’d like to get back to painting and paper crafting with Pat!!! I’m lucky to get this newsletter out. My husband thinks I have deserted him and he’s tired of eating out.
