20170429_063112-2I only have a couple of sessions left with the students from Virginia International Academy so I gave them their choice of what to paint and they requested the evening river scene from a previous Paint Party.  They did a great job.  They’ll be leaving soon and I’m glad that we got to work with them even for a few months at The Studio.

Dog Team DemoI am constantly working on sample paintings for upcoming events at The Studio.  It takes a bit of time to stay ahead of what is scheduled next!  Yesterday I wrapped up a design for an upcoming Team Building session that we will be doing with the “Dog Team” from our local Humane Society.  They’ll each paint a section that will then be put together to hang as a mural at the shelter.  We did this a few years ago with the “Cat Team”. You can see that here.

Table Runner 5After the last few Rag Quilt classes we were asked to have a “regular” quilting class.  Of course, traditional quilting is more detailed than the simplicity of Rag Quilts but they are great fun to make and there are so many variations.  This pieced quilted table runner is a good example of a beginning quilting project…and just in time for Memorial Day and the 4th of July!  Click here to register for this two-part class on Monday, May 15th and 22nd.
