NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, May 11, 2008


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!! I sincerely hope that each of you have had a wonderful day, that each was treated royally and deservedly!!!! Personally, I have celebrated a grandson's birthday and my day as well--have eaten and laughed to excess.

This is a very exciting week for Nutmeg Lodge and I hope that many of you will be able to celebrate with us. On Wednesday, May 14 at 12:00 noon the City of Martinsburg will officiate with the Mayor and City Counsel a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to commemorate the businesses at 301 Winchester Ave. Please come and witness this occasion, enjoy a light refreshment and participate in the specials and coupons we will be offering that day.

We unveiled a new block of the month on Saturday. Holiday Chorus is a wonderful and richly textured project perfect for the 2008 Holiday Season. Beginning in June, this four-part quilt will be available at $30.00 per month. A 60" square quilt with original artwork birds in beautiful splendor among lovely star blocks, come in and see this great new project or call us with your order. We are only doing 20 kits and 10 are already spoken for.

For all who received membership to the First Choice Fabric Club, this Saturday, May 17 in the "backroom" with special discounts and punches for this select club.

Recently we have had inquiries about Clubs---you can always join a club--membership fee does not change, we quickly bring you up-to-date and you have all the patterns, etc. that have occurred during club thus far. If you still are unsure about each club, stop by and let us explain the workings of each.

On Saturday we had inquiries about a service project that Carol Jones was mentioned in a recent newspaper article. This project provides lap quilts for young children of service men and women serving abroad plus pillows for older children. You contact the person in charge who sends you pictures printed on fabric, you choose a simple design, provide the fabric, construct and quilt a simple and small quilt, then you mail the finished quilt to the recipient whose address has been provided. The information is as follows:
Susan Simms, Operation Kid Comfort, 1-800-1260 x 14.
Need more information, call the shop and I will explain further.

So much going on right now it is hard to remember everything that I am supposed to tell you. Please come in on Wednesday for our big day, stop by and check out all that is going on. See you soon........Barbara
