Gay Ann Roger's Summer Sale Starts Tomorrow, June 20

Gay Ann Rogers is having one of her occasional sales through her website starting tomorrow, June 20, at 8 a.m. West Coast Time.  The focus will be on patriotic designs, with both small pieces and her larger sampler honoring Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, friends who worked to bring women the right to vote in the USA.  It's shocking to realize my grandmothers weren't able to vote until they were in their mid- to late thirties!

You can view GAR's sale preview and practice how to open the windows to navigate the sale through her website.

Landscape Features and Tar River Trail (Gail Stafford)

Melita is taking a Cyberpointers online class with Gail Stafford entitled "Landscape Features:  A Notebook Class."

It's interesting to see Melita's progress and hear how Gail designed various tree limbs and trunks.

Now we are doing bushes and water.

Next Melita tackled grasses, straw and mulch.  Her observations of what worked and what didn't are interesting.

Melita is also going to finish a Gail Stafford class called "Tar River Trail."  It looks beautiful to me.

Melita's added tree trunks.

She had trouble deciding when to stop but by the end she had a fall piece that looks very like our woods in early October.
