With December finally here it is time to remind everyone about club membership and gift certificates!!!

Clubs will be reforming in January with wonderful new projects that I talked about about few blogs back. There are very few changes in cost of clubs so membership is still very affordable. The only consideration to be made is space availability. We must limit membership due to the space we have in classrooms and the number of chairs that we have. We are now accepting payment for 2007 club memberships. If you are currently in a club, don't let membership pass you buy. If there is a club you would like to add to your schedule, now is the time to get in on the fun. Also, we have a number of "mail order club members". Even though the fun of clubs is so often what happens at meetings, there are those who want to get in on the fun of all the projects---if you are reading this blog from afar, we welcome your membership as well. Antoinette is very proficient at getting the club projects off to out-of-town members right after the meeting is held. If we are offering a kit or other fabric options, she lets you know to get in on the fun. We also keep your punch card on file and utilize the benefits when they come into play.

The same goes for gift certificates---if you are gifted or purchase a gift certificate or gift card from most retail establishments, there are penalties if not used within a certain period of time. Gift certificates at Nutmeg Lodge have no such limitations. Gift certificates are good on everything in the shop, even classes and club membership. Also, gift certificates are another great option for out-of-town shoppers.

I have put together Summer Joy and Saturday Sampler--they are both wonderful quilts and I can't wait to show them off. Come in soon and check them out. See you soon--Barbara
