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

NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, November 11, 2007
An exciting week at Nutmeg Lodge!! After a two year hiatus, we had Market Review and what fun. Thanks to a lot of people who came out for this event. It was a really nice crowd and everyone seemed to enjoy all the news and items brought back from Market as well as a few Festival stories. We still have most ,if not all of the items from that night for anyone who did not make it in. The only thing that did sell out is the Sidewinder---this is the HOTTEST new "toy" on the market and every sewing household needs one of these goodies. Now with or without batteries you can wind bobbins until the cows come home. Fun and practicle all at the same time. Priced at $30.00, order one soon for you and a friend.
The next big excitement is that Judy, Kelly and I just about have the quilting system up and running. Just a couple more things to "tweak" and we will be quilting like crazy. If you have any interest in this wonderful item to add to you sewing room--stop by soon for a demo and pricing information.
Excitement still to come is our GRAND OPENING. Next Saturday--all day, November 17--we will be celebrating in grand style our new location. Come to see us between 10:00 and 3:00 for some really special values, some great new merchandise, door prizes all day long, and a lot of FUN!!!
But the excitement won't stop there--we are revving up for BLACK FRIDAY. We tried this event last year and thought it was so successful that we would do it again. Here is how it works: Beginning this coming Tuesday, Nov. 13 and running through Wednesday, Nov. 21 every $25.00 spent gets you a BLACK FRIDAY Fat Quarter Card. Come in on BLACK FRIDAY, Nov. 23 and redeem those card(s) when you shop. To add to the shopping experience, we will be doing something a little new, between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. all shoppers will receive a 30% discount, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. all shoppers will receive a 25% discount, between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. shoppers will receive a 10% discount. Don't miss this great shopping experience plus our hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.
With the Holidays fast approaching, we have a number of larger bolts for backing on the 50% off table, a number of things for the perfect "Secret Sister/Quilter/Pal" gift, new items arriving soon for gift giving, and as always Gift Certificates. Don't forget to fill out a card for your gifters who need help or put the bug in your gifters' ear for a Gift Certificate.
Also, check out the STAFF button at the top of the page---we have the new Staff schedule posted as well as Staff pictures. Enjoy!
See you for a fun-filled week!!! Barbara

NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, November 4, 2007
I'm back from Market and Festival!!!! I found so many great new things and I am so eager to share them with each of you. I have so many stories to relate, that I really am looking forward to sharing everything with each of you as well. Market was bustling and buzzing with so many people and creative ideas. Festival was crammed with vendors and shoppers. It really was exciting to attend Festival after so many years of being away. I got to see so many old friends and see vendors that I had not seen in years. I even caught up with several vendors that I had missed at Market and did some shopping for Nutmeg Lodge.
We are all just a-twitter with excitement over all the packages that have started arriving and the plans that I made for next year. Judy, Kelly and I spent today sewing samples for next year's Saturday Sampler and Block of the Month (at least one of the BOMs). Everyone who has done this program will be delighted and, if you have not joined this Second Saturday event---this is the year to jump in. We are all really eager to share this new program with you.
All of the Clubs that run at Nutmeg Lodge as well as a brand new club will be especially fun in 2008 because of the great projects that we will be concentrating on. Stay tuned for more information and signup information beginning the middle of December.
And finally new classes seem to be just about rounded out and a class schedule will be available next week---don't miss out on some great classes at Nutmeg Lodge.
The biggest events coming really soon are:
Market Review this coming Friday at 5:30. All of those great things I found at Market will be available for the first time---don't miss the fun and excitement of this wonderful event.
Grand Opening is Saturday, November 17. That event is sure to be a happy and pleasing one with special door prizes and pricing all day long.
We seem to have a large number of Halloween items left so I have marked them 50% off--a great opportunity to get started on next year's decorating. This includes fabric, kits and fun.
In addition to all the Market excitement we have new cards in stock, some wonderful calendars in two sizes (perfect gift items), some wonderful new books and, of course, we are still running the Buy One Get One Free book deal from Martingale.
Also, we have a staff change to announce---Cathy has left to sew more and work less. Holly Johnson has joined the staff and will be working on Tuesday and Wednesday. Another new staffer is Debi Waldron who will be working the first and fourth Saturdays. Stop in on those days to say Hello to two new but extremely talented faces.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!!!! Barbara
