NOTES FROM THE LODGE January 6, 2008


Things are off to a really BIG start for this new year. Our 7th Annual Winter Sale is in full swing and will continue through this week. Remember 25% off store-wide on all the things you need to get started on your projects for 2008. Even though we had a lot of shoppers in last week, there are still plenty of things for you to stock up on. Don't forget that all of our blocks-of-the-months, Saturday Sampler, and several of our club projects require you to purchase your background fabric. This is an excellent opportunity to get the needed yardage for a year-long activity.

Even though so many of you have signed up for clubs, there are still openings in all of our clubs. If you need a refresher on the many different clubs we offer, check out the Club Button at the top of the page. Also, we have many classes running this quarter---you can get all the lowdown on our classes on the Class Button. You can also register by mail, phone, email or in person.

I thought that with the price of gas and knowing that a number of guilds around were not planning a trip, that Nutmeg Lodge could sponsor an event to allow a lot of people to enjoy a wonderful event. If you have friends or guild members that you think might be interested let them know. We are looking forward to this fun-filled day.

See you this week, Barbara
