I'm going to the Orlando area next week, and due to a change in plans I'll have two days to wander by myself. Any quilt shops/galleries/quilt museums in the Orlando/Cocoa Beach/Tampa area I don't want to miss? Also does anyone have a favorite yarn shop in the area?

If you are going to Cocoa Beach area, there is a wonderful quilt shop in Rockledge (very close to Cocoa) called The Quilt Place. One of my very favorites. It is worth the trip.

Remember, buy all you can and then the day or so before you leave for home, send it to yourself by UPS and then you can be home to accept it. Beats trying to pay overweight luggage fees and keeping track of them.
Keep money and ID in any inside pockets in a light jacket. Or hanging from a light cord around your neck. My DIL was a travel agent and gave her clients one of these, but the men who refused them had pockets picked some times. Men should put wallets in front pockets, not the backs.
Way too many light fingered folks running around at this time of year.

We're going to Brooksville/Spring Hill area and the Punta Gorda area over Christmas. I know where the Jo Ann's are but nothing else. Rainbow's End sure looks like a super shop.
