NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, January 25, 2009


So much to tell you so I won't beat around the bush.

First, next Sunday, February 1 we will celebrating Super Bowl with a big day. We will be open from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. Because we could not agree on what colors we liked best---not everyone is a Cardinal or Steeler fan-- we decided to have a "more you spend, the more you save" sale. Here is how it works.

Spend up to $25.00 and get 5% off your purchase price
up to $49.99 and get 10% off
up to $74.99 and get 15% off
up to $99.99 and get 20% off
over $100.00 you get 25% off

That sounds pretty good and a great deal of fun. We will also have snacks to go along with the "party".

Robyn's new fabric will be arriving any day. The April issue of American Patchwork and Quilting has arrived. It has a fabulous article and a wonderful pattern using the new line. I am hoping that we will have the quilt in the store shortly. If you are interested in a kit. The cost is $95.00. A finishing kit with binding and backing is $45.00. If you cannot get to the shop, call 304-262-6633 and we can mail the magazine and then ship the kit when our fabric arrives. There are additional shipping and handling charges.

Just as a reminder about 2009 policies at Nutmeg Lodge. Birthday fat quarters are $1.25 and $1.75 for batiks. Birthday fat quarters must come from the "fat quarter wall". No bundles apply and we do not cut birthday fat quarters. The girls on staff are masterful at keeping that wall stocked and straight.

In an effort to be green we offer a 3% discount on regular priced merchandise. Bring your Nutmeg Lodge bag or any other bag you fancy. We do not discount on sale or otherwise discounted items.

We have now closed the Thimbleberries Club. I believe that we have one or two openings in Willing Hands if you are interested. Primitive Club gets up and running this week with an adorable project. This club meets the 4th Wed. of the month. Check us out at 10:00 a.m. on Wed.

Our beginning patchwork class--Easy Nutmeg Star has added an additonal time and both classes are now full. If you are interested in this wonderful class, check back the middle of March when we will schedule this class again.

A number of other classes are almost full so if you are interested don't delay and sign up soon.

It might snow this week---don't get caught without everything you need for your projects if you can't get out for a few days.

See you soon---Barbara
