NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, May 10, 2009

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to everyone!!!! Hope sincerely hope that each of you had a lovely day with your children, your mother or, however you chose to honor this day. My children and I actually celebrated last week and today I have been working on samples for Quilt Market. On Thursday I will travel to Pittsburgh to begin a new chapter in my life. Robyn and I will be introducing Robyn Pandolph Design Studio patterns. We are very excited about being back in the pattern business. In a few months we will have the web site up and running where you will be able to order patterns on line and fabric, etc., etc.

The closing of Nutmeg Lodge continues to progress in a faster time frame than I had anticipated. I have been trying to take every opportunity to thank each of you for 8 years of fun and fabric. I will miss seeing so many familiar faces everyday but am positive that we will run into each other from time to time.

I am working on organizing a quilt show in our area. The Tucarora Presbyterian Church will be hosting this event on June 13. It is a juried show--if you would like to display a quilt at this show, please contact the shop for a form to declare the quilt you would like considered. We will be hanging about 70 quilts. The event will be at the meeting hall of the Church which is located on Tuscarora Pike just before Nollville Road. It is scheduled to run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There will be food, live music and a ton of fun. We will have more information on the web site and at the shop.

Things are dwindling fast--if you need to stock up on backings, projects, thread, etc., etc., come in soon so that you don't miss out.

See you soon--Barbara
