I am in So Or and just recently joined the American Sewing Guild. The So Or chapter is very very active and have a lot of neighborhood groups that focus on quilting or doll making, beading, embroidery etc. I am enjoying some of the quilting ones. Medford has two quilting stores, Jacksonsonville has one that I know of, Ashland has one quilting store and a smaller fabric store. So we really have quite a few options. I would be happy to give you more info if you are interested. Where do you live?
