Can you believe, more snow!!! Quite frankly I can tell that a lot of you have put this weather to good use--our batting and backing supplies are getting low--that means that a lot of you have gotten a number of tops ready for quilting. Good for you!!!

We have been so excited about the gift/decor lines that have arrived at Nutmeg Lodge. Several things have sold out, sorry if you missed out but I too didn't get any of those darling peeps. But there is good news, more new merchandise is on its way. More Spring/Easter items that should make your heart sing.

Shirley's latest project in her basket class has been postponed until the first Sunday in April. If you are interest, call, email or stop by to sign up. She asked if we would keep a sign up list for her. This is a wonderful basket with a ceramic handle that can either be decorated with blueberries, cherries, or apples.

To go along with the great wool that we have at the shop is wool thread. This is just a lovely thread. A 12W thread that is great for hand sewing that stitch around your wool applique or used on the machine produces a wonderful look.

With the thought of Spring, it is time to start thinking about new table toppers for the deck or patio. Come in and check out the panels and new pastels that we have to offer. All the gals on staff are full of great ideas if you are needing some inspiration. Also, don't forget to look through the decorating magazines on the newsstand for inspiration. If you are stumped about putting a look into play, ask us for help in interpreting your inspiration.

Today was our first Open Classroom--even with the bad weather there was activity in the classroom. Don't forget to check out this schedule and the Wednesday Applique sessions. Both of these creative classes are a great way to get hands on instruction.

See you soon--Barbara
