HELLO  GOOD FRIENDS OF THE PITTPOUNDERS;

IN MAY,  WE HAD A BRIEF GUILD MEETING, AND DECIDED TO DROP THE SUMMER MEETINGS. MANY ORGANIZATIONS DO THIS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE TRAVELING, AND DOING SUMMER  THINGS. WE WILL START AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER.  WE HAD A GOOD   CLASS LAST MONTH. DRAPER PRESENTED A TALK ABOUT APPLYING DYES AND FINISHES,  AND  WHAT  YOU CAN MIX WITH WHAT.  BEFORE WE WERE FINISHED, EVERY ONE GOT IN THE ACT, PRACTICING BLOCK DYING AND THE BEST WAY TO APPLY ANTIQUE FINISH.

GOD BLESS

KEVIN
