NOTES FROM THE LODGE March 2, 2008

Happy March!!!! Coming in like a lion, March gives us hope that Spring is just around the corner. With the nights still chilly if not down-right cold, it is still a good thing to be under a quilt working away--whether piecing, appliqueing, quilting or putting on the binding all aspects of what we do is gratifying. I have been so caught up in the process of being able to once again sit with a needle that my project for Ladies of the Sea has become an obsession. I hope that each of you is finding a passion that is giving your heart something to sing about.

I will begin preparing this week for the first show of the season. Weekend after next will be the show in Manassas. Don't forget to check out this great little gem. Last year was my first year vending at this show and it was a delightful experience.

We have new samples on the wall for classes coming up--don't forget to come in and check them out. I will be working on a new schedule for the upcoming quarter--April, May and June. Also, checkout the Quilt Odyssey site, my friend Robyn's classes/lecture are listed. This might be something to add to your visit to that great show.

We have several new arrivals on the shelves, come in and see them, say hello and stay for a visit---we love seeing you!!! Barbara
