Wanda--I know where Valdosta is--my brother graduated from Valdosta State. I have an aunt and several cousins who live in Thomasville and my brother lives right outside of Thomasville in Ochlocknee.
There is a member of our board, Bonnie, who lives not too far from you in Lakeland, GA. Her board name is Bill'sBonBon. She belongs to the Withlacoochee Quilters Guild in Valdosta.
I live just north of Forsyth, right off of I-75. My oldest daughter lives in Macon, so I am there frequently. There was a quilt shop in Macon for a while, but it closed several years ago. All that is in Macon now is a Hancock Fabrics and it is such a dirty rundown store that I hate to even go there. My closest quilt shop is in Jackson. There is also one in McDonough and one in Jonesboro that I shop at.
It is always nice to have another "Georgia girl" on the board. :-)
