NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, January 13, 2008

The first two weeks of the year and we are getting into the full swing of all the programs we run at Nutmeg Lodge. Yesterday was the first Saturday Sampler of the year and boy did we ever have a lot of people turning out to get in on this fun-filled event. Just a reminder to everyone---we always have the sample up for you to look at and Kathy has taken pictures for the website so that you can refer to that as well if you need a refresher on what it looks like. We will see you next month, Feb. 9 for block Two.

We have had three club meetings and everyone is excited about the projects for 2008. If you have not joined a club yet, there is still room in all of our clubs--don't miss out on the fun. Each of our clubs is full of lively, fun quilters. We have pictures of all the projects for 2008 up on the wall for you to see. And, you can join more than one club!!!!

We are also getting ready to start classes---a couple of classes are full already but there is still room in a number of them. If you find that the class you wanted is full, we will take your name and get a new class formed. We have samples of most of the club projects on the wall for you to see. Stop by and check them out.

Now that we have had all that sale stuff going on, it is time to get back to normal. I will be busy this week getting things rearranged and making the shop look new and fluffy. We have received several new things in the last few days that will be going out for display. A new patriotic group from Sandy Gervais with a funky flag theme. Also we will put all the Valentine fabric out--some charm packs, a fun panel and great pieces to make some fun projects for yourself or one who pulls your heart strings.

Don't forget to check your calendar for the bus trip!! There are still openings. See you soon---Barbara
