You will be staying right by my brother's place. If you find good quilt shops, please post them so I can check them out, too. I'm going to be staying right next to Stanley Park then and am more excited about seeing the quilt of belonging than anything else! No quilt shops to tell you about, but here is a link to an article about quilt shop hopping in Vancouver.
