Another busy week at Nutmeg Lodge and so many things happening---I hope I can remember everything to tell you----here goes.
First, the Harper's Ferry fabric arrived about a month early---but that is a good thing because there are 36 pieces and it will take us a while to get it all cut, bundled, labeled, etc. We are putting it into fat quarter bundles which will include the manufacturer's pattern. The fabric is so fabulous and the pattern is equally wonderful. I did not plan on unveiling this fabric until the end of July and probably in Hershey at Quilt Odyssey. To that end, we are taking reservations for 20 bundles. If you have been waiting for this beautiful collection call or come by and put your name on the list. I will be making the quilt from the pattern included in the bundle and will hope to have that finished soon. We will then let you know when you can pick up your bundle. If you would like to see a sample bundle---come by and we will show you a most marvelous prize.
The Fourth of July is on Friday this year and we will be closed---but in the meantime we have a darling project for you and/or a little one. A really cute apron project using just 1 yard of fabric plus 1 1/8 yard for backing, straps and pocket. This is about the easiest project you can imagine. A perfect hostess gift or to wow your guests for your 4th celebration. And we also have the little version which only requires 1/2 yard each for front and back. We have samples for you to see and would love to help you select your fabrics.
Now for the best part---THE CLASS SCHEDULE IS FINISHED!!!!! Below you can peruse the offerings for classes this summer. I have tried to offer things to you multiple times that might be of interest and, hopefully, will fit your schedule. I am also doing my applique class that is a 6-part commitment but has breaks to accommodate other things in your life plus time to stay caught up. If you are not planning a long trip away from home this summer, these classes offer you the perfect opportunity to do something fun and exciting. Also, if you have a group that would like to do something special, talk to me and I will see if I can work out something for you.
