NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, December 9, 2007

WOW!!! What a week--first we received about 200 bolts of fabric, we worked hard to check it all in, then it snowed, then we worked some more to get it finally checked in and find a place to put it all.

The Saturday Sampler people were surprised by an unadvertised sale. And to that end, everyone else can enjoy this unexpected dividend to shopping as well. There are just so many bolts that we really need to get some of them whittled down. So.....when you come in to shop, you will receive 25% off the entire shop (sewing machines are not inclued).

I really tried to get all the Club information and Class schedule lined up for this publication but because of a really nagging neck problem I have found it really hard to sit in front of the computer and get this finished. Fortunately it looks like I will be able to get this done as I have had a much better today than the last four or five.

We had taken orders for the Sidewinders---that hot new item to wind bobbins. Unfortunately this has been such a huge seller across the country that there are none to be had. No shop or distributor has them. We have placed an order for 2 dozen when they become available again in January. If you would like to give one of these hotties for a Christmas present, Marcy and Gaylor has made a gift card with a picture of this cute item--you can pick one up to wrap for the tree and then pickup the item when they come in next year.

If you have any desire to have your own quilting system at home, we now have the Grace Frame with 1600P to take care of all your quilting needs. Schedule a demonstration and start planning your ultimate sewing room.

Take care--oh yes, don't forget our snow policy--when Berkeley County Schools close the first day, generally we will close also. Subsequent days will be decided as needed. The best plan, call to see if we are in. Barbara
