In February, we started to promote the Learning Studio at
the Creative Stitches and Crafting Alive Trade Shows. The first
show we did was in Saskatoon, our home town, and it was a good
place to start. We also went to Edmonton in February and met
many new friends. Kasha Promotions puts on these shows, and
if you would like to know more about them, press on the logo
to the left. Above is a Picture of Trevor at the Show in Saskatoon. |

| Did you notice Scott's Tree of Remembrance in the photo
of our Booth at the show? We brought the Tree with us to show it off
at the Shows in Saskaton and Edmonton. Most people thought we were
kind of late for Christmas, and didn't know that this tree will shine
brightly all year long. We told them that it was a Tree of Remembrance
and invited all to visit our web site and hang a ribbon to remember
their loved ones. To get the tree ready to show off, we had a ribbon
making party. All of our family and friends were invited to come and
spend an evening with us making the tree. The photo below is a group
picture taken that night. See the new
page for Scott's Tree to see more photo's of the party we had
to help make the Tree a reality. |

Scott Leier, Trevor's very good friend, was married to Carlene Orth in
February. Scott and I (Trevor) have been great friends since high school,
and we have gotten to know Carlene in the past few years. We think they
make a wonderful couple and wish them all the best. The wedding was held
in Saskatoon, although Scott and Carlene live in West Vancouver, BC. Scott's
family is in the hotel business, and the wedding celebration was held
at their hotel in Saskatoon, the Sheraton
Cavalier. It is a beautiful hotel in downtown Saskatoon, and is situated
along the river bank. Lorna and I were also married at the Sheraton
Cavalier, in the beautiful ball room, on the top floor. The view of our
beautiful city is awesome from the Top of the Inn ballroom. The Sheraton
Cavalier will be the location for the first ever Stitchitize Embroidery
Design Creation Conference. We are planting the seeds now to invite you
all to Saskatoon to learn about embroidery design in the summer of
2003. More info about the conference to come later this year. Below
is a photo of the Sheraton Cavalier in Saskatoon, and a photo of Lauren
getting ready for the wedding.

| Please let me share this beautiful story with you about this quilt. It
was made by Pat Nagel for a boy who is terminally ill with cancer. His name
is Neil, he is five years old and from the small town of Ionia Michigan.
The Make a Wish Foundation
granted Neil his wish to spend a day at Walmart.
Pat who is 60 something and in a wheelchair, was contacted by Walmart to
make a quilt for Neil. His favorite animal is a pig, so Pat decided to make
Neil and "Piggy Quilt". Walmart donated the materials and Pat stitched up
some magic. The Quilt was hung at Walmart for all to see on Neil's special
day and he was thrilled. The world is a better place with people like Pat
Nagel in it. |
