I just got back from a week long visit to Vancouver and Victoria island BC. Had a great time...I even did a little quilt shop shopping....OMG!!! was fabric expensive I promise never to complain about our fabric prices in the USA...We are talking 17.00 to 20.00 dollar a meter which is just 3 inches or so more than a yard... the exchange rate is .95 cent American for every 1.00 Canadian. no deal there. But, I will say that the people are all so friendly and the sea food out of this world... I eat enough fish for a life time of Omega 3 lol!!! enjoy the pictures

me and my honey oh! yes we went by motorcycle

Lovely cities -- Victoria especially. I have read fabric prices quoted by some of our Canadian and Australian members and I cringe. Not sure I would have much of a stash.

Glad you enjoyed your trip!
