SNOW ALERT: Check this space on Tuesday, Feb. 3 to learn if we are closed---no post, we are open!!!

PS to post below: Lynn UpDate: Pattie, Marcy and I went to visit Lynn today. The really good news is that she is feeling a lot better. We were there when one of her 7 doctors came in and told her that she could possibly go home in the next few days. Again, as I have stated below, call the shop to get updates and inquire about cards, etc.


NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, February 1, 2009

A very eventful week---snow, ice, cold, wind, sunny, warm. Can you get any more out of one week? Oh, I guess we could have had some rain to round things out. Oh well, we are about to get some more excitement according to the soothsayers. We did close both Tuesday and Wednesday--just a reminder, if it looks iffy, call the shop, we will call and let you know when we are opened.

Today was our annual Super Bowl Sale. Everyone on staff was in except for Kelly. We had a lot of fun, got a lot done and enjoyed a lot of shoppers---several people we had not seen for a while. It was good to catch up with old friends.

Coming up this week: It is the first Tuesday so our Scrap Block Mania packages will be going out for sale. If you got started last month, don't delay to come in and pick up your second little bag. If you have not started, now is the perfect time to do so.

We have our Valentine fabric and panels out. A great touch to warm up your house and get into the spirit of a lovely day on the calendar.

The most exciting news around Nutmeg Lodge is the anticipated arrival of Robyn's fabric. It should be in the first of the week. The quilt that was featured in American Patchwork and Quilting will also be arriving. If you would like to see it in person---stop by. If you would like a kit, call and/or stop by and place your order.

An update on our Make a Difference Club---I have been so humbled and excited about the overwhelming response to our efforts. Thank you so much to all of you who have come in (some more than once) with food, cell phones, glasses and donations. This is an effort that is on going---my continued thanks for remembering those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Thanks again for your generosity.

Now on a sad note---our dear friend Lynn Fitzharris is in the hospital. I will be visiting her tomorrow. If you would like to send good wishes and/or inquire about Lynn, call the shop and we will up date you and give you information. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery and coming home soon.

I hope you enjoy the game this evening---stay warm, keep busy with your quilting projects, and come to see us soon.
