We have a wonderful chance to enjoy a class with Joni, learning lots of ideas from her as she leads us through her design.

At this meeting, we will hold our elections during the annual meeting.  Also, the selection of a group correspondence course will be made.

            A View from the Beach  -  Class with Joni Stevenson

A path across the dunes leads the viewer down to the ocean where a small boat sails across the waves.  The water sparkles under a blue sky with a few puffy clouds overhead.  The beach grass and beach roses add a warm contrast to the cool water beyond.  This realistic scene relies on threads and stitches that are chosen for their ability to portray a realistic effect.
