A big apology to anyone who checked the blog last night and didn't see a new update. My lap top decided not to work with the modem and I was too tired to come into town and use the office computer. SORRY!!! I crossed my mind that some might things were worse with Nelson. To update you on his condition--- time marches on at the hospital and he slowly fades away. I spend most of my days with him and we both appreciate the visits, cards, calls and emails inquiring about the two of us and wishing us well. All of your words are a comfort to both of us.

Now to the business of Nutmeg Lodge. ELLY'S FABRIC IS HERE AND IS TOTALLY WONDERFUL!!!!! What a great surprise on Friday when box, after box began to come off the UPS truck. A what a great amount of work for all the staff to start sorting and cutting. We are doing fat quarter bundles of 48 pieces (there are 70 all together). The price of the the bundle is $120.00. As with Elly's last collection, there are patchwork and border pieces that are not suitable for fat quarters. There is also a wonderful piece with writing that is "to die for", plus wide yardage in four color ways. All of these pieces we will cut into yardage of any amount from !/8 yard upward. The wide pieces will also make wonderful background squares. The whole collection is the best yet. All regular yardage is priced at $10.00 per yard and the wide yardage is $15.00. As with the past collections, these pieces won't last long. Call, email or come in to place your orders early!!!!
