Looking forward to my first extended trip to Florida.
WOW!!! you are going into my stomping grounds.West Palm Beach and Okeechobee, My oldest daughter and 3 Grndsons with Grt.grnds and 2 sisters live in Okeechobee.. There aren't any quilt shops in Okeechobee itself,But the WalMart there still has Material. It has been 6 yrs since I have been in WPBeach They do have several quilt shops but at this moment in time I can not think of the location of a single one. :oops: I will seach my papers for Phone # and locations.. have a wonderful Vacation... The Big O is a place for wonderful Fresh water fishing have spent many days and nights on the lake in a pontoon Boat on it. That is really the only thing I miss abt. FL is the big lake it is 40 miles by 60 miles and I lived most of my life next to it. Could hear the waves when wind was blowing,of course there is a dike or levy going around the whole lake.
To see the big Estates you can go to Palm Beach it is where the Rich and Famous live and Shop on Worth Ave .. We used to go to the beach there it is a public place and across the street are the Estates.
