NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, February 24, 2008

Another exciting week!!!! Lot's of bundling of fat quarters, rearranging to put new collections out, getting things ready for a road trip--------------oops!!! here comes some bad weather, cancel the trip, take a day off. This is becoming all too familiar. The bus company was leery about the prognosis of ice, I certainly did not want the responsibility of a lot of people on the road, bus drivers and a bus, so home we stayed. Sorry for all that were disappointed.

My friend Kathy Palmer had written two lovely comments on the blog about the trip and then cancellation. It was a reminder to me that everyone should make the comments they feel they would like to share. You can read them by looking at the end of a blog and clicking on the "comment" button.

Regarding Kathy's comment about future trips, I have asked her to help me plan some of those trips. Stay tuned for some exciting news for future trips. We will be doing a lot more of this type of event.

Another sad comment I have to make--we have collected a large number of "quilt pink" blocks. The dead line for those quilts is March 1. I have simply not had time and weather has been one complication, so these blocks will be put together at a later time and we will make the deadline for next year. More to come on this also.

We did follow the school closing policy this past week. With another prediction of upcoming weather, call the shop if you have a question---if we don't answer then obviously we have stayed home.

I have added two more shows to the lineup. I will have them posted on the show button. One is the Millennium Show in Bridgeport on July 10 and 11. And then the West Virginia Quilt Assn. show in Morgantown on July 18, 19 and 20. Then I will be off to Hershey for Quilt Odyssey July 24, 25, 26, and 27. I am planning a vacation the first of August---do you think I might need it?

Stay warm, stay busy with your projects, see you soon---Barbara
