I can't believe how gorgeous the weather is---I have been under a quilt every night doing some repair on an antique quilt--it has felt so cozy. And then, the days are just idyllic with warm inviting temperatures. Oh well, it will come to an end soon but we can all enjoy the beauty and comfort for the time being.
Our Fall Fling was a real success---thanks to all who came in and shopped. Now it is on to the business of getting "down to business". I have a class schedule ready--Yes, you heard that right. A class schedule is ready to roll. I have concentrated on a number of technique classes. So many of you have expressed a desire to learn and/or brush up on your techniques for better piecing, finishing and applique not to mention the ever popular machine quilting. I have also added a bag project that you really won't believe until you come for this great class.
NUTMEG LODGE CLASS SCHEDULE
During the next two months, we will attempt to give you some good "technique"classes and a new and fun bag idea that will prove to be fun and "practical".

PERFECTLY PRACTICAL PURSE Tues., Oct. 28* 10:00-12:00 Barbara $30.00

EASY NUTMEG STAR Wed.&Fri., Dec. 12 and 14 10:00-1:00 Barbara $50.00
A two-part class, you will learn half/square triangles, four-patch, putting it all together, correct use of your rotary cutter and all the ins and outs of understanding patterns, seam allowances and proper construction techniques. This is a perfect class for a new quilter or someone who would like to "brush up" on techniques.
I hope that these classes will interest you. Several have already mentioned that there were no evening classes. Sorry---I just could not find an evening that really worked well with me because of other obligations. After the first of the year, we will have more evening classes and will also be offering some new and exciting projects.
Have a great week. Come in and see what is new as we have had some new arrivals. Barbara
