Canadian quilting mags?

There is only ONE Canadian quilt mag that I am aware of - it is published by the Canadian Quilters' Association and it is also expensive to non-members besides being difficult to find! There was only one lqs in Ottawa where it was ever seen and usually they only had some back-issues in the clearance bin. I'd like to suggest a pattern by a Canadian designer that might appeal to you? This link is for a Yukon quilt shop which has a variety of themed patterns which might also be available through a local quilt shop for your friend in Waterloo. The area where your friend lives is also in the Mennonite area of Canada and something of that nature might interest you?

you do decide on a magazine - all the US editions are available inCanadian stores and the prices are being reduced due to the exchangerate variances. jennellh

First of all, while this isn't the same thing, really, most magazines are

*printed* in Canada! Just a little bit o' trivia! :)

For mags that are published in Canada, this is the only one I could find (and several sites said it was the only one) ... and I really can't tell if it still exists.

Canada Quilts P.O. Box 39 Sta. A Hamilton, Ont. L8N 3A2, Canada (416)523-5828 $18.50 published 5 times per year; covers patterns, news, products

Another article went on to say that quilt supplies (fabrics, notions, etc) are VERY expensive there ... our (US) dollar translatin' into high prices for Canadians ($70 US = $110 Canadian - as of the article's publication). So I don't know if I'd ask for quilty stuff ... might be too expensive??

I'm really sorry!!

Don't know about Canadian quilting mags, I'm afraid, but Kitchener-Waterloo is my home town, and there's a major fabric place in Kitchener called Len's Mill End. It isn't especially cheap, but they have lots of fabric, if there's a particular one you've been wanting. As an aside, according to my mother, Len's always buys the highest-priced quilt at the MCC auction every year, and they are displayed in the store. If you're a Eucalan fan, it's made in Paris, ON, so should likely be cheaper around K-W than it is in europe. Lee (my isp is memlane, not memroad.)

There is a magazine, published 4 times a year, called "Needle Pulling Thread". This isn't just a quilt magazine, but covers all the needle arts. My guild, the Limestone Quilters, is being featured in the spring issue, along with a quilt pattern, designed by a member.

My friend is going to visit a quilting store close to her place of work=20 and see what she can find. I told her to get me anything up to a certain =

=A3 amount and I'd give her the money when she visits. Very exiting!

The Celtic knot quilt on the first page is one of mine, and won best in show! DH has been asked to be the official photographer for the next show May

2008, and we plan to sell CD's with pictures. I asked the show chairperson to have a place on the entry form to signify NOT wanting their quilt photo on the CD. Some of our quilters are professional artists and sell their original work, so we wanted to give them the option.
