NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, June 2, 2008


A very busy week coming up and one that you really don't want to miss out on. First, we are very busy packing to go to the QU show. 60+ dealers and some outstanding quilts await your arrival at Chantilly. Nutmeg Lodge will be packed with new and exciting fabrics and projects plus special bargains. If you don't want to make the trip alone, call a couple of your friends to car pool with. If you can't find someone, call us and we will try and arrange some instant friends for you.

This being the beginning of a new month this Saturday is the First Saturday event. We will have special bargains for you outside the big doors---not on the sidewalk this time (I think the heat may become an issue for outside). For all the shopping you do outside the big doors from our "sidewalk" bargains, you will receive membership into our First Choice Fabric Club. I think that everyone who were members in this club last month enjoyed the exclusive right to buy fabric from the backroom before it went out front and with a special discount to boot.

My allergies have still be a huge issue for me but a new prescription seems to be putting me back on track---I have been sick for over a month and am really tired to not feeling 100% and not being able to go outside much. Oh well, that is what Spring is all about--soon the summer will be here full fledged and we will long for the rain and all that blooms along with it.

Just a reminder---we have the new block of the month behind the checkout counter and have been taking sign ups. There are 5 spaces left--all participants can pick up their first of four kits any time now. I will be taking this sample with me to the QU show and I am sure that those last few spots will be gone---if you are still contemplating this project, don't delay. Call us this week and reserve your spot.

One final note---I will be away on Friday---once again come see Judy and Marcy--they have a special event when I am away.

Take care of yourselves, come to see us at the shop and at the show. Barbara
