Banff and Okanagan trip
#2
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.
