Quilting book, which was recently awarded to an
Alaskan library.

VANCOUVER FOR

A North Vancouver
quilter is making a
name for herself
beyond Canada’s
boundaries.

Gail PL Hant’s book
Quilrworks aeross Canada:
Eleven Contemporary
Workshops, has been chosen
as a donation by the
Association of — Pacific
Northwest Quilters.

The book was gi to
the Anchorage Municipal
Libraries in Anchorage,
Alaska, in celebration of
National Quilting Day in the
U.S. on March 15.

The hard-cover publica-
tion highlights one quilter
from each of Canada’s 10
provinces, as well as a quilter
from the Northwest territo-
ries, the Yukon Territory,
First Nations of Canada, as
well as Hunt herself. Each
chapter contains a multi-
page interview with = the
quiltmaker, a gallery of her
quilts, and a workshop
detailing an aspect of her
technique.

By donating a book writ-
ten by a Brush Columbia
author/quiltmaker to an
Alaskan library, the associa-
tion furthers its mission of
encouraging  quiltmaking
and individual quilters
throughout Alaska, Alberta,
B.C., Idaho, Montana,
Washington and the Yukon
Territory.

UPSCALE clothing retailer Holt
Renfrew announced an expansion
program on Feb. 13.

The program is to increase the compa-
nv's retail space by 25 per cent over the
next 17 months.

“Holt Renfrew’s mission is ta be
Canada’s leading specialty business — the
quality fashion category buster. Phe key to
our progress is assoruments of the

world’s best designer names, most of

which are exciusively Ours, and commit-
ment to our own Holt Renfrew Private
Brand collections,” said company presi-
dent Joel Rath.

Today, the Holt Renfrew Private Brand
collections represent 28 per cent of the
company’s overall business, and have pene-
trated into all areas of the business: men’s
and women’s wear, accessories and cosmet-
ics.

The expansion program is twofold: the

continued renovation and cnlargement of

the downtown flagship locations across
Canada, as well as the *Nexe Generation”
of Holt Renfrew stores in prime metropol-
itan locations.

The new stores are larger, and reflect a
“light, modern look in keeping with Holt
Renfrew’s history of being the fashion
leader in Canada, rather than being trendy
or avant-garde,” said Glen Pushelberg,
who along with partner George Yabu, is
directing the design of the “Next
Generation” store at Yorkdale shopping
centre in Toronto.

Meanwhile, at the Bloor Street location
in Toronto, 5,000 sq. ft. are being added
for Canada’s first Estee Lauder Spa,

With precision crafted timepieces like Tag Heuer and Longines to the most popular designer names like

Guess. Swatch, and Timex, CapMall has the styles to keep you moving forward. With plenty of time to spare.

In
Vancouver,
the flagship
stare has
been
expanding
over a num-
ber of vears,
said the
store’s assis-
tant manag-
er Melanie
Logan.

In 1994 the store took over the market
fluor of the old Vancouver Stock
Exchange, and in December it moved in to
the site of People’s Jewelers in order to
add Georgio Armani Le Collezioni to the
men’s department. The men's department
continues to undergo renovations.

Negotiations are also in progress for a
“Next Generation” store in the city, but
nothing has been finalized yet, said Logan.

On Feb. 14, more than 40 North Shore
businesses took part in the Heart and
Stroke Foundation’s “Dress Red” event.

Their employees raised $3,000 for the
foundation. Severai of the businesses com-
bined the event with a customer apprecia-
tion dav, making it a festive occasion.

Much like “Jeans Day,” employees were
encouraged to buy a dress red button and
wear the crimson color on Valentine’s Day.
