Outside Montreal, you may find a section for quiting cotton in fabric shop. It will be call: "coton pour artisanat". But you will find the price very high and all is imported from US anyway.
There is a few quilting guild, but again, it's not a very popular hobby. I think quilting was more a canadian-english tradition. So you find it in the french area only when there was an aunt living in US and visiting her relatives (there was a big french canadian emigration to the US at the beginning of the century).
Anyway, feel free to ask me anything you want to know, I'm a quikter, I speak french and I live here!
