Fabric Spark is Vending at Quilt Canada 2025!

We're excited to announce that we'll have a booth at Quilt Canada this year. It's a particularly special occasion because the show will be held at the International Centre near the Toronto Pearson Airport - right in our backyard! We've got exclusive products and deals that we'll be sharing with you in the weeks leading up to the event's opening on Thursday, June 19. Read on to find out what we've been working on.

What is Quilt Canada?

Quilt Canada is an annual event organized by the Canadian Quilter's Association (CQA). The event is comprised of several exhibits and components. Most notably, it features a national juried show (NJS) of quilts - "a high-profile quilting exhibition where quilts are judged by certified judges and awarded prizes."

You'll also find a bustling marketplace with lots of shops from smaller local vendors to some of the industry's biggest names. There are additional exhibits/concurrent quilt shows that feature the work of individual quilters, quilting guilds, or other quilting groups.

We're excited to see lots of local talent being featured in the concurrent show exhibits, including an exhibit by the Toronto Modern Quilt Guild (TMQG) called 'A Modern Take', and a selection of pieces by local Toronto quilter Peter Byrne in an exhibit called 'Peter Byrne, 5 Years Later.'

There are also numerous workshops and lectures for quilting enthusiasts - new and seasoned alike - to enjoy and to be inspired!

Fabric Spark at Quilt Canada - Booth #318

You can find Fabric Spark at Quilt Canada - June 19 through June 21 - at booth #318. We've been working diligently behind the scenes to prepare some exclusive products and offers for attendees of the show. 

Quilt Canada Perk #1: FREE Andover Century Solids Colour Card with a purchase of 4 Century Solids Bundles

We love our solids here at Fabric Spark - and we decided to highlight our collection of Andover Century Solids with some curated bundles.

Choose from four different colour ways: neutrals, ocean, berry, and citrus. There are no duplicate colours between the bundles. Each bundle contains 24/25 pieces and is available in fat quarters or half-yards. 

They're excellent stash builders and a quick way to expand the colours available to you when inspiration strikes! 

And with all those new colours at your fingertips, you'll need a colour card for planning and referencing. You can purchase one for $30 or get a free one when you buy any four Century Solids bundles (while supplies last!).

Quilt Canada Perk #2: FREE Star Quilt Pattern when you spend $150 or more at the booth

Late last year we designed an exclusive star pattern for the shop - the Striped Big Star pattern. The project was inspired by our holiday colour palette of turquoise, pink, navy, and red. The initial design came from an earlier star pattern using eight fat quarters.

In our new version we introduced stripes that lightly alluded to our favourite peppermint treats - candy canes! It's quick and impactful finish.

The pattern includes illustrated instructions to make a 68" x 68" throw quilt. It's a relatively straight forward quilt that's best suited for a confident and organized beginner. 

We're treating you to this EXCLUSIVE pattern when you spend $150 or more at our booth over the course of the weekend (while supplies last!). 

Quilt Canada Perk #3: Special Price for "I Love CQA" Participants

We'll be participating in the CQA's "I Love CQA" program. If you stop by our booth donning your CQA pin, we'll offer you a special price on one of our goodies! It's a secret for now, but what we can say is that it's an sewing essential! 

We can't wait to see you there!
