| Where is the Quilt Show Taking Place? As we’ve announced previously, the 2025 Quilt Show will take place at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, located at 6 Sakura Way (formerly known as Garamond Court), near Don Mills and Eglinton. When is the Quilt Show? The Show is on Friday, November 14 and Saturday, November 15th, 2025.The Show will run from 10:00 to 5:00 on Friday and from 10:00 to 4:00 on Saturday. Please put a “Save the Date” in your calendars! When Is Set Up Day? Set up day is Thursday, November 13th, 2025, from 10:00 to 5:00 Quilts or quilted items that have been entered in the show are to be delivered on Thursday, November 13, from 9:00 to 10:30. You will be given a receipt for each item, which you (or the person picking up for you) must present on Saturday when picking the item up. When is Takedown Day? Takedown is from 4:00 to 5:00 on Saturday, November 15th. Quilts or other items that have been entered in the show are to be picked up between 5:00 and 6:00 on the afternoon of Saturday November 15th. You (or the person picking up for you) will have to have the receipt that you received when you handed the item in on Thursday. When Can Quilts be Registered in the Show? Registration of your quilt in the show is now open, on line. You need to submit a separate registration form for each quilt or quilted item that you want to submit, together with a photo (the photo doesn’t have to show the finished quilt, but you’ll need to indicate the dimensions of the finished quilt in your registration). If you want to submit more than one quilt or quilted item (you can submit registrations for up to five items), it’s possible that we may not have space for all of them, so as part of your registration you need to indicate the preference you have for each quilt or item (my first choice, my second choice, etc.). All members will be allowed to have at least one quilt or item in the show. There are no particular categories for quilts or items submitted to the show, but quilts or items with similar themes/methods/patterns may be displayed together. The final date for registering a quilt in the show is September 30, 2025. Here’s the link to register your quilt(s) and other quilted items: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzRAvBazeC6IxOCaSwSmImQ86OhUfIUE0LPKWXWulfLxL4zA/viewform?usp=sharing What is Our Speaker Line Up for the Show?

Tickets will be available to be purchased on line on our Guild website by the end of April. Tickets can also be purchased at the door on November 14 and 15. The ticket price will be $15. All members attending the Show will be required to purchase a ticket, even if they’re volunteering. Volunteers’ tickets will be good for both days of the show. Non volunteers’ tickets will only be good for one day of the show. When and How Can You Consign Items (including quilts) for Sale at the Show?) Items which you wish to consign for sale at the Guild Shop at the show must be individually entered in the Guild Shop system at least one week prior to November 13th. We’ll notify everyone when the form to enter your items will be on line. Consignors will pay a fee of 18% for each sold item. Consignors can choose to have the proceeds of sale of items go to the Guild or to Community Quilting, rather than receiving the money themselves. People who wish to sell a quilt or other item which is hanging in the show must register the quilt or other item in the Guild Shop, which will process all payments, and a fee of 18% for each quilt or item sold must be paid by the consignor. How can You Help CQ fundraise at the Show? CQ plans to have a Fat Quarter Fishing Booth at the Show; you can help by donating newish fat quarters (18” x22”). Fat quarters can be brought in to the CQ tables at the May, September and October meetings, or can be dropped off at any of the drop off locations listed in our newsletters, or can be mailed to Anne McLauchlan at 108 Chudleigh Avenue, Toronto, M4R 1T6. No scraps or old fabrics, please! You can also donate orphan blocks to CQ at the May, September and October meetings, drop them off at any of the drop off locations listed in our newsletters, or mail them to Anne McLauchlan at 108 Chudleigh Avenue, Toronto, M4R 1T6. These blocks will be sold in the Guild Shop under a general CQ consignment number. Help Us Sell Our Vendors Booths! We have sold about two thirds of the vendors’ booths so far, but because of the current economic uncertainty, some vendors have been reluctant to commit to a booth. We are exploring having non quilt related vendors; if you have any ideas for crafts people who should be approached, please contact Brandie Wolff at bwolff0098@gmail.com Help Us Publicize our Show! Please promote our Show on your Social Media, and talk it up to your friends and family. We have postcards ready, which we want to distribute to locations like quilt shops close enough for people to think of attending our show; if you’re going to be near out of town quilt shops, please see Dara Rowland at the May meeting to pick up some cards to take with you, to leave at shops. Alternatively, you can contact Dara by email, if you want to arrange to pick up some cards for distribution. Dara’s email address is darabridget@gmail.com Feel free to pick some cards up at the May meeting to give to your friends to encourage them to see the show! If you follow any quilt artists on You Tube, please provide their names to Dara (darabridget@gmail.com) and she will reach out to them to see if they will help promote our show. Volunteer! Volunteers can sign up for shifts at the show and on set up day, starting in September. Shifts will be roughly 4 hours long, and all positions will allow for some sitting so no one will have to stand for 4 hours. It takes a lot of volunteers to run a quilt show, so please sign up when the information is posted! Questions or suggestions about the show can be addressed to the show chairs, Heather Briant and Anne McLauchlan at york.quiltshow@gmail.com |
