Welcome from another floridian! I'm in the SE of Florida, there's lots of quilt guilds and such around, but I never seem to remember to get out to them. Meanwhile, I'll hole up in my sewing room and spend HOURS perusing books, folding stash, playing with machines and sewing garments, curtains, mendings, quilts and the like. All fun. Welcome! You can learn a lot off this site, and the tutorials, etc.
