We are finally back in order all around the shop. It always makes me feel so good when we have gone through and rearranged everything. One of the last things to get a good reorganization is the punch needle cabinet. Finally, the patterns are all in order and easy to choose from. A new inventory of needles and hoops are on their way so if you have not yet started this fun artform, come in or call to reserve your needle and hoop. These little projects are not only fun but make the most wonderful gifts. If you have not yet learned the ins and outs of punchneedle, Antoinette or I can give you a quick lesson and start you on your way.

Also, the wool felting is equally as fun and easy to do. Same thing, fast, fun and a great gift. Again, Antoinette or I can give you a lesson in this fun activity as well.

Some new fabrics are here from Moda, as well as new books from Martingale. We have a new supply of wide backing fabric due to arrive this week. We are doing our part to get ready for all your projects that are becoming finished and ready for the quilters. Don't forget also that we have information for the local long arm quilters. If you are in need of information, stop by and pick up a brochure.

Still to come in the quilt show department:
Sully, September 10 at Sully Plantation in Chantilly.
Flying Geese Quilt Show in Bel Air, Md, Oct. 20 and 21.
Christmas in the Mountains, November 3, 4, and 5. We have posters at the shop with complete information and pictures of projects to be taught in classes at this wonderful event at Tamarak.

Nutmeg Lodge will have a booth at all of these events. Let me know if you need more information on any of these events.

See you soon, Barbara
