NOTES FROM THE LODGE September 9, 2007

WOW!!! What a day at Sully!!! I have said it before, and I'll say it again---if you have never been to this show, you really need to put it on your list. If you went to Harrisburg instead of coming to Sully, I'm not sure that was a good decision---just one day, outside, so much going on and boy where people in the mood to shop!!! I had such deals that everyone was tickled pink--sometimes they were 4 deep in the booth, CRAZY!!! So much fun.

We are really busy getting things ready for the move. Don't forget that we have 25% off the entire store, and sewing machines 15% off--through next Saturday.

The plan is to pack on Monday, Sept. 17 and move on Tuesday, Sept. 18. We will reopen on the following Tuesday, Sept. 25.

Now all that said, you probably need to check the web site and/or call just to make sure that this scheduled has been adhered to by others. As strange as it may seem, I do not rule the world--I'm just the Queen.

We kicked off Quilt Pink on Saturday. If you are interested in this program, we will have this available in the new shop. The way it will work: we have 9 different blocks with pattern and fabric for $5.00 each. Pick up, make the block, and return to Nutmeg Lodge and get a gift certificate for $2.50 for each block. Sometime in October to celebrate National Breast Cancer Awareness Month we will have a "sew-in" to finish to blocks and/or quilts and get ready for transport to American Patchwork and Quilting. These quilts are not due to them until Mar. 1, 2008 so we have plenty of time. In addition to the kits we also have Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls and yardage in Quilt Pink fabric. Just a reminder, the quilts for American Patchwork and Quilting can be any color. If you have questions, please call me.

Don't forget that the new show will have the new fall fabric, Halloween fabric, new gift and collectibles, the Buy One Get One Free book sale from Martingale just to name a few. We are really going to love the new space!!!

See you later, Barbara
