The Cloth Shop, Granville island(not really an island) short bus journey from centre, I think you could also walk, we stayed in the Westin, I have mobility issues but hubby seemed to think it wasn't far. There is a lovely quilt shop, going from the UK prices were good for me and the exchange rate was good, not sure how the prices convert to US dollars. There also a few others. There is a great public transport system in Vancouver.

I live in Blaine WA. USA Just about 30 miles from Vancouver BC. I can't tell you about any BC Quilt shops but I DO know that a ton of BC Quilters swarm to our JoAnn's in Bellingham. We also have several lovely Quilt Shops in Bellingham and Lyndon which I frequent. I like to buy local. Most of the Quilt shops are $9.99 (or less) a yard. I agree with ManiacQuilter2. Fabric price in BC are shocking. good luck !!

Hamel Fabrics is located in Chilliwack, about 50 miles from Vancouver. Check their website. Prices are quoted in Canadian and U.S. Dollars. I did a quick check and quilting cottons seem to be about $10.99 U.S.

That said, am I the only one who didn't wonder Vancouver, BC, Canada, or Vancouver, Washington, USA?
Assuming it's the former, The Cloth Shop, as someone else said, is about it for Vancouver (and it is tiny). But Granville Island is a must-see anyway and easy to get to from downtown, so drop by

Definitely agree with spending time on Granville Island. Check out RoseHip Hats if she is still in the main public market! I so regret not buying one when we were there. They are a bit pricey since they are handmade but absolutely beautiful! I want to go back just so I can buy one!

When I say I'm from Washington, they assume DC.
When I say Portland, they assume Maine.
Finally (back in the 80's) I started saying "near Mt. St. Helens" and everyone said "Ohhh, ok, Seattle!"
Sigh.
