The Square Heart Award for February 2014
is for Laurie Fortier,
Quebec City - Canada
Laurie joined the Forum in January 2010 and has been incredibly active and supportive ever since! In addition to creating squares, Laurie generously sent other peoples' squares alongside her own.
Laurie has a very busy lifestyle and teaches at Garneau College in Quebec City, and, is a Moderator for Knit-a-Square. On top of this she writes the KasBlog, has been hosting the Square Heart Award, looking after Pinterest for KAS, and helped me with posting on Facebook! Sadly, Laurie has had to step down from all her work and the roles for KAS due to an extreme attack of Rheumatoid Arthritis. We are all holding Laurie in our hearts and are hoping that with rest and peace, she will make a complete recovery.

Donated Squares
many are from the KAS Group that Laurie organised at
Garneau College, and, met at Cafe Tricot!
In November 2013 Laurie lead the Toys, Games and Teddy Bear Challenge, which certainly brought out the 'inner child' of members!
Above is the link to KasBlog which Laurie was updating very regularly until recently. The archives go back to October 2013 and are very Knit-a-Square focused and well worth exploring!

I so hope the arthritis recedes soon Laurie. You have worked tirelessly for KAS and made such a difference. Rest for a while and get well soon. All good wishes .x
Congratulations, Laurie! You are my hero. I'm sending lots of good healing vibes your way so concentrate on getting better. :o)
Many congratulations Laurie! A so well deserved award for you. Always active at and for KAS in many ways, which I very much appreciate. You spread the word in many ways. I hope you will recover soon. Take care and a big hug, xoxo
How lovely to hear from you Laurie. Keep your courage up and be certain that we're all thinking of you often.
Where to begin? I have been searching for the words to properly express my gratitude for this extraordinary gift, but none will do. Your support and kindness mean more to me than you can imagine. I have said it many times since discovering KAS, but it bears repeating. I have lived 50 years in many places with many different kinds of people and I have yet to find more kind, generous and caring people than you. It is a privilege to know you and to be a part of KAS. So, I will be back, hopefully sooner than later, particularly since Bev has ordered me! I (almost) always do as I am told! ;)
Sending you all love and warm hugs, Laurie xox
Congratulations on this award, Laurie - I can't believe you haven't won it already!
Your beautiful work and generosity inspires us all, as does your dedication to the forum, with all the work that entails. So sorry to hear about your arthritis - praying that your pain will lessen and you will be able to return to doing what you love.
