NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, April 27, 2008
WHEW!!!! Home from the Berryville Quilt Show and missing my Tunisian visitor---I'm fairly exhausted!!! I'm fairly exhausted but energized with thoughts for the future and upcoming events.
First, I totally enjoyed the young woman from Tunisia that spent the past week with me. She was part of a team from Rotary District 9010 which is comprised of Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria. There were five members of the team, each hosted by a different family here in Martinsburg. These young adults are all professionals in different areas and are here in the US visiting our Rotary District and various businesses in their field. Eya Kaddour was my house guest (a picture of Eya and I is at the top of the page)--a 35 female with her own marketing business. We had a lovely time together and it was fascinating for me to see the world through eyes from another culture and opposite side of the world. Eya is an outstanding ambassador of the world, and I believe that the world is in pretty good hands.
The show in Berryville was wonderful---a lively group of vendors, a lovely display of quilts and a great weekend all around. If you did not stop by the booth, you missed some of the great ideas I have for gifts and easy quilts for upcoming grads and brides. Come see me at the shop to find out what new things are out there to get started on now to make Christmas 2008 the best giving you have ever done.
This coming Saturday will be our 2nd Sidewalk Sale event. Once again on Saturday, we will put out the table in front of the shop on the sidewalk and offer you bargains galore!!!! This event will be in conjunction with the event on Queen Street--make Martinsburg the place you spend on Saturday.
Come see us---we have some new fabrics and other things going on that you haven't seen. Barbara

Barbara is right. Both the Hagerstown and Berryville shows were wonderful. Lots of quilts and the vendors had so many tempting items. Of course, my favorite booth was Nutmeg's. I found some fantastic show only items that I HAD to get. A great Mark Twain kit perfect for my reading area and a Take 5 kit in patriotic tones that my son will enjoy very soon. I am hoping (hint)to find more of the pre-cut kits at future shows and in the shop! IF you couldn't make the shows try to find the time to visit an up coming one. You won't be disappointed, you will be so inspired and will find lots of new fabrics and designs. Plus, you will have a chance to view some very lovely crafted quilts.
