  Thank You To Our Sponsors

The Saskatoon Quilters' Guild Quilt Show is the largest in Saskatchewan and has become known as one of Western Canada's premier quilt shows. We would be unable to stage this show, as we do, without the generous support of sponsors. We encourage you to review the list of sponsors, to support these donors and to pass on your thanks for their generous participation.

Many of our vendors who are not listed here supply us with door prizes at the show. Their participation is important and very appriciated. We want to recognize them here, in advance, with our grateful thanks.

   Denny Carr's Secret Santa

At the 2009 Quilt Show, the guild supported a very special charity, Denny Carr’s Secret Santa. Denny Carr was a radio announcer with CJWW who lost a very courageous battle with cancer.

It was Denny’s wish that every child in Saskatoon would receive a gift at Christmas. His dream has come true through this non-profit organization, which is affiliated with CJWW and the Saskatoon Salvation Army. Every year, this organization collects new, unwrapped toys, non-perishable food and money donations.

You Can Help Us Help Secret Santa!

Serendipity, the non-profit arm of the guild, donated 27 quilts – one for each year our guild has been in existence. All proceeds from the auctions and draw for these quilts will be donated to Secret Santa.

  • A special ceremony to unveil the 27 Serendipity quilts took place at the Thursday grand opening. One quilt was auctioned off during the evening.
  • Throughout the grand opening and the two show days, there was a silent auction of 25 of these beautiful quilts.
