About Us
Creative House of Embroidery, originally opened in 2003 as Creative House Sewing Center and was the third sewing and embroidery related business in Saskatoon owned by the Conquergood family. The other two, Broadway Embroidery & Clothing Co and Stitchitize Stock Designs, have been serving the community since 1984. All three businesses operated conveniently from the same facility.By the early 2000's the companies had a staff of over 25 people including the three Conquergood children, Trevor, Carl and Andrea with her husband Lyle, who all managed the day-to-day operations of two of the businesses until they each moved onto independent careers. We can't forget about Darcy, a High School friend of Trevor's who joined the operations in the mid 80's and managed Broadway Embroidery until it was sold in 2013. Darcy continues to manage the production operation with the new owners to this day.
Wendy and George, with the help of their knowledgeable educators, ran Creative House of Embroidery until they decided to no longer sell sewing machines in late 2012.With over Fifty years in textiles and manufacturing, fashion and industrial clothing, George has a lot of experience when it comes to fabric, sewing and embroidery that he willingly shares with the customers of Creative House and Stitchitize. Wendy is the creative sewer in the family, while George monitors the websites and with the assistance of Trevor manage Stitchitize today.
After selling their beautiful acreage on the South Saskatchewan river, Wendy and George decided to close the store in Saskatoon and relocate it to a new location in Harris, Saskatchewan, a small Village 83 kl South West of Saskatoon along Hwy #7 West of Delisle. They have successfully moved their residence to Harris as well as the offices for their business. Everything is under one roof, albeit a fairly large roof, the beautifully renovated and restored 1925 Knox United Church is now Home to Wendy & George, plus the offices of Creative House ESQ's www.stitch.ca and Stitchitize Stock Designs Inc. www.stitchitize.com.
Our two very large white dogs, Storm & Nicholas (Hungarian Kuvasz) accompanied us in our 2017 move to Harris. However, we unfortunately we had to say good by to them in 2020. In early 2021 we decided to get another Kuvasz pup, Nicho, however by six months of age he proved to be a little too much Kuvasz for a couple of seniors and we had to rehome him to an acreage in South East Saskatchewan, where he is more at home doing what he was bread for, A Livestock Guardian. Just one month after saying good by to Nicho, two beautiful Angles came into our life. Wendy saw a post on Facebook about two dogs that needed to be rehomed as their owner had become very ill, and could no longer look after them. We gladly applied to adopt this beautiful bonded pair, a black female "Raven" and white male "Sage". They are brother and sister from the same parents except one litter apart. At the time of adoption Raven was six and Sage five. We have had them for almost a year now and and we are totally bonded to this beautiful pair of Labradoodles. We are thankful every day for the Angles that brought them to us.
Accommodation for our two horses, Flash and Pidgon was thankfully made available just down the street from the Church. Sadly we said good by to Flash in April of 2021. Pidgeon is still grazing down the road. Riding is no longer an option for us, therefore Wendy is selling all 3 saddles and all our tack. Wendy has listed the saddles on Facebook, and one is already sold and another may be gone shortly. The remaining items will be listed on the Shop Online feature here shortly, under Horse Stuff.
The Online Stores continue to function as usual, serving customers world wide.
We are happy to receive customers in Harris, although "By Appointment Only". As it is our Home!
Please contact wendy@stitch.ca for an appointment.
Plans are being developed to expand our facilities in Harris for the future. A lot of our inventories and furniture had to be placed in storage. Although the Church is very large, every square inch of space is currently being used and the storage facilities are not very accessible.
We now have two 40' sea cans on our property, one with 55,000 lbs. and another filled with the contents from a 30' and 10' storage lockers that we maintained in Delisle for several years after our move in 2017, plus the of contents, a 17.5' trailer that we dragged from Saskatoon.
It is time to start talking about our new facility. We purchased the property next door to the Church in October of 2020 and started clearing the property and cleaning out the junk. We started deconstruction in December of 2020 and should be finished by the end of April 2022. Hopefully we will be opening to the PUBLIC next door to the Church at 210 2nd Ave. sometime in June 2022
It has been a very difficult project in these times of Covid-19. Finding contractors in Harris was not easy and the rising prices of lumber and all other construction materials has blown any budget we may have had. We are looking forward to moving all the inventories we have in the Church over to the building next door ASAP. Then we will start bringing goods out of the containers and the trailer to move through the facility.
