Thursday Keynote Speaker
Jennifer Sparks (B.Ed., M.S., PGD, PTS)
Jennifer Sparks is the author of several bestselling books:
WTF to OMG: The Frazzled Female’s Guide to Creating a
Life You Love, Happy on Purpose, The Gratitude
Transformation Journal and The DREAMBOOK Productivity
Planner. She is an Ironman Triathlete, certified personal
trainer and life coach, speaker, teacher, and single mom of
two teens. She is the owner of SWIFTKICK Life and
teaches lifestyle design through her online courses,
workshops and retreats.
Jennifer began her personal journey towards health and
wellness over a decade ago when she realized she was living
a life that was not aligned with her values and dreams. At
that point, she stopped blaming others for her situation and
took full responsibility for creating sustainable life style
change.
She is a self-proclaimed personal development junkie who has changed her life by changing her
mind. Jennifer now works with women (and some men) who feel overwhelmed, stuck and unhappy
with their lives. Jennifer’s greatest joy is watching women rediscover themselves at 30, 40, 50
or 60 years of age.
Jennifer believes that life has a way of handing us challenges that can make us better people.
She teaches her clients that it is not about creating the perfect life but instead, understanding
that happiness is possible despite life’s circumstances.
"Change is hard at the beginning, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end."

Breakout Session #1: 10:45 – 11:45
The Magic of Gratitude Transformation with Jennifer Sparks
Location: Cathedral Conference Hall
Our world can be a crazy place. We forget to think, evaluate, and dream. We begin to live by
other people’s rules and expectations. We forget to feed our souls, be kind to ourselves, and
express our human-ness to people in need. Sometimes we even forget to be grateful for all the
good that surrounds us and our focus shifts from abundance and bliss to struggle and sadness.
In this breakout session, Jennifer will share how shifting one’s focus can drastically improve
your mental and emotional wellbeing, often without changing your life circumstances. A Q & A
will follow and Jennifer’s books will be available for purchase on site should you be interested.

Morning Double Session 10:00 – 12:00
Good Spirit Bakery
Location: 619C 1st Avenue North
Max 10 Participants
Tracy Street had never baked a loaf of bread or anything in her first 50 years of life. Then one day she
bought a bakery. Tracey lives with Crohn’s and has not eaten bread in 20+ yrs. One day she decided to
look into it deeper and figure out why it caused her so much grief. The answers were surprising. She
hired a baker to train her with the basics and hit the ground with both feet running.
In this session you will learn the value of milling your own grains for making bread, as well as the benefit
of using a sourdough poolish instead of yeast. This session will cover steps from start to finish on
artisan breads and a few interesting facts on how industrialization alters our lives in ways we don't
always connect right away.
Binding 101
Location: St. Joseph Sewing Lab
Max 15 Participants
Seven years ago Sheryl Hilash started teaching the occasional weekend class at Prairie Chicks which
very quickly developed into teaching nearly every weekend between September and April. Now not only
does she teach upwards of 35 weekends each year but since she retired from her “day” job in 2015, she
has started to add even more classes and is looking to expand her reach beyond Saskatoon and area.
Sheryl will be teaching two binding methods in this session:
1) Traditional binding using 2 1/2" strips sewed end to end. This binding is sewed on the front side
of the completed quilt, folded over to the back side and hand stitched.
2) Two color binding uses two fabrics -- a main color as well as a second color that will create a
flange all around the perimeter of the quilt. The main difference with this binding is that it is
sewed on the back side of the quilt, folded to the front and then we "stitch in the ditch" -- no
hand sewing required!!!
Fabric Requirements: Start by measuring the perimeter of the quilt you want to bind.
Example: If the quilt is 80” x 90”, the perimeter is: 80 + 90 + 80 + 90 or 340 inches
You then take the perimeter and divide it by 40 (which is the approximate number of inches in a single
strip of fabric (WOF)) or in the case of the example, 340/40 = 8.5. Round up, in this case to 9. This
means you need 9 strips of fabric to make the binding.
For one color binding, you will need 9 - 2 ½” strips of fabric or 9 x 2 ½” = 22.5 inches of fabric.
If you decide you would like to try a two color binding you will need to do the same calculations except in
the example above:
Color 1 (main color) will require 9 x 1 ½” strips of fabric or 9 x 1 ½” = 13.5 inches of fabric
Color 2 (second color) will require 9 x 1 ¾” strips of fabric or 9 x 1 ¾” = 15.75 inches of fabric
Supplies: Usual quilting supplies (thread, pins, etc.) including your cutter, cutting mat, grids/rulers
(including a 24” grid/ruler) and a walking foot for your sewing machine.
Rawlicious Superfoods
Location: St. Joseph Foods Lab
Max 18 Participants
Additional Fee: $10
Kalyn Smith is a teacher at St. Joseph High School who is currently on maternity leave. She is
passionate about the vegan and raw food lifestyle and raising her family with the healthiest
food possible. She recently completed a 150 hour Professional Plant Based Culinary Course
through a cooking school called Rouxbe. Her favorite part of the course was learning more
advanced techniques for raw gastronomy including dehydrating and fermenting.
The session “Rawlicious Superfoods” will explore a number of raw food recipes that can be used
in a classroom setting. The session includes everything from superfood smoothies to blonde
macaroons, and hazelnut fudge. Come prepared to eat lots of healthy superfoods that will
nourish your body and also taste amazing!
First Nations Beading
Location: Cathedral Conference Hall
Max 15 Participants
Sheri Hupe has worked at the University of Saskatchewan with classroom technologies for 19
years. She has 3 kids, 3 step-kids and 8 grandchildren. Quilting takes up most free time in the
colder months. She has mastered hand quilting and has recently started long-arm quilting. Many
of the quilts are embellished with beads. She has a passion for exploring many mediums such as
plastering maternity bellies, wood carving, doll making, material and felting. With a Metis
heritage, creating leather goods has been an interest. Making items for her grandchildren gives
her the most pleasure.
In this session Sheri plans to create a leather travel case for iPod/cell phones. They can be
made out of wool or leather and embellished with beads. The goal will be to become familiar
with bead techniques and the tools best suited for beading. She will also have examples and
other bead projects to look at. This is a great project to do with students in PAA classes to tie
in authentic First Nations and Metis content. Fabric for pouches will be provided at no
additional cost to you. If you wish to purchase leather you can do so at the session for $20.
Friday Evening Downtown Tour
For anyone sticking around Friday after the conference we will be doing a downtown walking
tour where we will be stopping into a few of the local hot spots before stopping in at our final
destination for dinner. We will begin our tour meeting downtown at 5 pm at O’shea’s Irish Pub
and will finish our tour at Bon Temps Café where we will have a dinner reservation at 7pm.
Please feel free to meet up with us at any point throughout the tour. More specific details will
be provided at the conference. Please let us know on your registration form if you would like to

combinations. No special templates are required. This is a beginner quilt and would make a great
project for a Home Economics class.
Approximate Size -- 55” x 70”
Fabric Requirements:
12 fat quarters
1.5 meters of “grouting” fabric
Thread to match
2. Two-Fabric Bargello – This quilt uses only two fabrics (plus border). The effect is achieved by
using an ombre fabric accompanied by an “insert” fabric. This is by far my most popular class.
This is also a beginner quilt and would make a great project for a Home Economics class.
Approximate Size – 52” x 55”
Fabric Requirements:
2 meters of “ombre” fabric
1 meter of a coordinating “insert” fabric (if you want to incorporate the insert fabric in a border, I
recommend purchasing approximately .5-.75 meters more of this fabric)
1 meter for final border (choose a relatively solid/minimally patterned fabric for the last border)
Thread to match
3. New Wave – This quilt is unique in that it is sewed in columns rather than rows. This is a beginner
quilt that uses no special templates.
Approximate Size – 60” x 65”
Fabric Requirements:
12 fat quarters
1.5 meters of solid sashing and first border fabric
1 meter of second border fabric
Thread to match

Join us for an informal morning of networking, sharing, and hopefully a few good laughs. This
social session is designed for all of you busy Home Ec teachers to spend some time stocking up
your own freezers for the busy months ahead. Each participant will leave the morning with 5
freezer meals to feed a family of 4. All food supplies needed to prepare the freezer meals will
be supplied as well as containers for storage. Please bring a cooler to transport food if you will
be travelling a long distance.
