NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, May 18, 2008

Such a busy week!!! The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was a great affair, thanks to all who stopped by. We have some great pictures in the Photo Gallery thanks to Gaylor Offerdahl. I hope that you will enjoy seeing the event as much as we enjoyed the event itself.

I mentioned last week about Operation Kid Comfort---if you have not had an opportunity to inquire about a kit, never fear---Nutmeg Lodge will be offering kits along with some simple patterns and a coupon for fabric to construct your project. Stop by in a couple of weeks to pick up your kit and thanks again for all your interest in this worthwhile effort.

I'm sure that most of you know someone who has Type 1 diabetes. In an effort to help find a cure for diabetes and in support of Carolyn Thalman, a friend of Nutmeg Lodge who has diabetes, we are participating in the Sneaker Sales Program. You may stop by, call or email a pledge to buy a Sneaker--every sneaker sold will have your name on it and be placed in the store, each Sneaker represents a step toward the cure for diabetes. For more information you can visit www.jdrfcapitol.org. And, thanks for your help.

We still have spots available for our new block-of-the-month Holiday Chorus---a 4 month project is just $30.00 per month. This great new quilt program will begin in June and finish in September just in time to get it quilted for the Holidays or for the perfect present for a deserving recipient.

New fabric on the shelves and a new floor plan at the shop---stop by and see us this week, we have answers to all your quilting questions. See you soon---Barbara

PS I'm off to Texas for a couple of days---check on Judy and Marcy on Friday for some extra fun. Barbara
