WHEW!!!! Some people think I am crazy, but I love to set up a booth and do a quilt show--it is a different kind of selling and I find it so much fun. And fun we did have this weekend at the Berryville Show. Those gals have been putting on this show for years and they really do make it look easy. Attendance was great and everyone was really in the mood to buy!!!

Next is Market, then Market Review and finally the QU show in Chantilly. Still a lot to look forward to. I am sorry to tell you that I have not finished the newsletter yet and will give you a better update on Wednesday with a time for you to be able to see what is new on the calendar.

So many of you have lamented to me about the canceling of Simply Quilts and so few quilt shows on TV. First, Simply Quilts was a beautifully done show but they had interviewed everyone in the known quilt world and will continue in reruns. There are several other shows still in reruns but the same thing, they simply run out of topics. But there is never any better way to learn than in person and at Nutmeg Lodge, I am so proud that I have the best line up of teachers and subjects of any shop that I know of. Each of the teachers and myself have taken the time to travel and take classes with other well qualified teachers in order to bring you the best and latest techniques and subjects out there. If you compare the price to going to a large retreat or quilt show and taking a class plus room and board, there is not a better value around. Watch TV and enjoy the shows but learn your craft from qualified teachers in person where you can ask questions and see demos up close and personal.

See you, Barbara
