What a busy week coming up---I am making lists of my lists. I don't want to forget a thing and I especially don't want any of you to forget.

First, a new month and new club meetings and this week is Willing Hands. I am so excited, I have the mystery quilt finished for everyone to see. I really love the way it turned out.

Second, our big bus trip is on Friday. This is really exciting. The album quilts at the Lovely Lane Methodist Church in Baltimore are a rare exhibit. We have 33 people signed up for the trip--the bus will hold 55, so if you can make it, we still have room. Call or stop by to get on board. Price is $40.00 and that includes your admission to the show. There is also a box lunch available for $7.00. The bus will leave Nutmeg Lodge at 10:00 a.m. and return by 4:00 p.m.

And that brings me to Three. MARKET REVIEW. As I have mentioned before, we have so much stuff you won't believe all the new and wonderful books, patterns, notions and just plain great stuff. This great event will start at 5:30 on Friday, Nov. 4 and there really are a lot of great surprises in store for everyone attending. I can't stress enough that you really don't want to miss this event.

All the fabric we ordered from Market is also exciting. I will go into more detail at Market Review and will update you about this more in the future.

Next week I will be off to teach a week long class on the Underground Railroad quilt. This is an Elder Hostel event. I have my samples ready and I am looking forward to making some new friends and teaching a piecing class. I don't do this very often any more and it will be a nice change.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this week. Barbara
