NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, November 25, 2007

All the reports in the news about "black Friday" shopping seem to be right on target---Nutmeg Lodge was as busy as any retail establishment on Friday--thanks to all who came out and joined in on the fun. This event was Judy's and Marcy's idea last year and it seems to have gotten better with age. We will run this event again in the year's to come.

Now that everyone has gotten a jump start on backings, etc. for projects to go off to the quilter, there is still time to get some smaller things done before the big gift giving event. Come in and let us show you all the great "little" kits and projects we have available for you to finish in plenty of time for hostess gifts, secret pals, etc.

Also, don't forget that we have our "wish box" for you to fill out a card to make shopping easier for all of your gifters. Just come in and ask for a card, fill out all the items you have your heart set on, place in it our box, and then when your gifter comes in we can give the card to him/her and they can fulfill all your dreams.

FYI, we will continue the sewing machine sale for a short while. If you need a small machines for going to class/retreat or have someone that you would like to start off with a great little machine--both of the machines we have on sale is a perfect machine for just about everyone.

And, if you have tops ready for quilting and don't have someone lined up to finish them in time for Christmas, check with us--we have information on a number of professional quilters and, all seem to be able to accommodate you--let us know and we will steer you in the right direction.

Come in this week and let us help you get started on the perfect "long winter's night" project. Barbara
