I was shocked and saddened to learn that the Kreinik family, creator of some of my very favorite threads of all time, have had a devastating loss--Charles, the son of Doug and Myla Kreinik, has died.

Please join with me in sending condolences to the family and the company that bears their name. I am sure everyone is shocked and very unhappy to have lost Charles.
UPDATE: Here's a bit more about Charles' life and the funeral service for him. Having lost a brother to suicide, I understand the pain and bewilderment and guilt the Kreinik family and Charles' friends must be feeling. I hope that eventually they will accept his decision to end the pain he found in living. Hopefully he has found the peace that eluded him in life.

Magic from Meredith
Last weekend Meredith Willett taught canvas embellishment at Bedecked and Beaddazzled in Baltimore. What fun they had! She is full of great ideas, some of which you can see in the photos from the class.

The Gift
Renee Frank of Pepita and Gone Stitching showed off a very special gift from a bride to her groom this morning. I find especially touching that the canvas was a graduation present from the bride's grandmother. What a wonderful statement of family and commitment this is!

I had to look up the religious significance of the afikomen. It's a lovely tradition that finishes the Passover meal with the help of the children present. Here's hoping this bride and her groom have many children to help them use her stitching over the years to come!
