For all who were able to attend the Fall Fling, thank you--we had a very busy and fun week. That wonderful line from Whimsicals is almost gone, it sure hit a great note with a lot of people. I am sure that everyone enjoyed the rain, it seemed kind of strange to have so many days in a row with no sun. Of course, you know we will all be getting behind the lawn mowers any day now. With all the snow out West, we can all look forward to cooler temps and finally cold weather soon. I have been busy putting the finishing stitches into the Santa blocks and will be working to put them all together soon. We should have then up for display by the first week of November.

Speaking of the first week of November--I am planning a bus tour to Baltimore to view the album quilts that will be on display at the Lovely Lane Methodist Church. The tour will be Friday, November 4. The bus will leave Nutmeg Lodge at 10:00 a.m. and return around 4:00 p.m. The cost will be $40.00 which will include admission to the show. We will also be taking orders for a box lunch, approximate cost $7.00. If you are interested, please call the shop to get your name on the list. We have room for 55 attendees and the number is at 30. Also, please drop by or mail your check for $40.00 to guarantee your spot.

As most of you know by now the web site is up and operating. As I have suggested previously, put www.nutmeglodge.com on your Favorites list and then it is easy to get to the web site. You will then be able to view this blog right on the front page of the site without going to the blog site. Can't get easier that that!!! Kathy has been very busy getting things so beautifully in place and we now have pictures of all the staff with the exception of Marcy. We will take care of that soon. Kathy has done a great job and I am so happy to have her talents working for Nutmeg Lodge.

We have a large box of fabric waiting to be checked in. I have no idea what is in it so come in soon and check it out. We can all be surprised together.

I look forward to seeing you soon. Barbara
