We are taking a trip to Banff and the Okanagan Valley.
Does anyone know of any quilt shops to visit while we are there?

I don't recall a quilt shop in Banff but please stop at the one in Canmore, depending on what direction you are travelling you may go right by it, if not Canmore is a cute town and worth the side trip.

I lived in Kelowan for a couple of years many, many years ago, and I wasn't a quilter then...but I seem to recall a nice little shop right across the street from the mall (the mall is on the main highway going through Kelowna, and the shop is back a street). I forget the name but I used to get needlework stuff there and remember seeing fabric. There also was a needlework/yarn/fabric store right beside the London Drugs right on the main highway through Kelowna as well, I forget that name too it was so long ago! They may still be there.

Have fun on your trip, the land is beautiful.

Thank you for the quilt shop information.

Perfect!!! We stopped in there and I must have spent a good 2 hours looking around. They have all the quilt stuff on the second floor and the yarn on the first. My DH took the girls for lunch and then ice cream so I got to go slow and enjoy myself.

We stayed in the Best Western in Canmore... (they give a 55 & over rate if you happen in ) so I visited the shop more than a few times while we were there.
