Notes from the Lodge June 17, 2007

Another busy week and it seems like summer has really kicked in for good. Remember not too long ago we were all complaining about the cold going on forever? I love these lazy kind of days when the warmth just envelopes you—yes, I am one of those that really doesn’t mind the soaring temperatures—oh well, I have been spending time with my appliqué, a nice respite from the outdoors. We will be running Robyn’s new block of the month as our Willing Hands project in 2008. This is the first full size quilt project that Robyn has designed in several years. The blocks will be made using her new line from Free Spirit, Chateau Recoco. We will be taking signups for this Club in July. Because of the need to order fabric, I will need to have an idea of how many will be planning on joining this outstanding club next year. A sample will be available for you to see when you stop by. We have received our shipment of this wonderful line of fabric—red and green—and absolutely beautiful. This will be available in just a few days for your pleasure.

I will be talking with the new landlord this week and will soon be able to tell you the new date for our long anticipated move. As I ponder our delay I am so happy that the sewer problem was detected before me moved. I shudder to think about the possibility of being closed because of the lack of bathrooms. The good news is that we know for certain that the bathrooms are going to be in PERFECT working order. Thanks to everyone for being so understanding about the delay. The old saying about lemons and lemonade certainly applies here.

This coming weekend is finally the Cumberland show. Don’t forget to put this great show on your list of things “to do”.
See you soon—Barbara
