Smile Quilt shops in West Midlands UK

To all the Lovely Quilters in the UK
Can you tell me of the best Quilt Shops in the Birmingham/ Coventry areas.
I am visiting my daughter(non Quilter) from Australia.
I am over in late Feb till mid March.
Not my first visit - went to the Quilt Festival in Birmingham in 2012.
But have not been to any Quilt Shop.
Don't know if she will have any time of me to look but knowledge is power.
Thanks

There's a fabric warehouse in Leicester which is no distance at all. Its called fabric guild. www.fabricguild.co.uk that's the web address I'm useless at doing links. I don't live in the Midlands but visit a friend who does. Ive been to several quilt shops but can't remember the names will do a bit of research over the weekend and let you know. Our quilt shops in UK are very small compared to US. I visited a LQS in Rockledge Florida last year and honestly you could have fit the four quilt shops in my area into it. Hope you enjoy your visit .

Sorry just registered you're from Australia so size not really relevant as I've no idea what size the shops are in Australia.
