I live in a small town about 25 miles outside of Jacksonville, FL. Glen St. Mary, Fl. ; also Macclenny is in the same area. very nice small town; on the other end , about 25 miles from Lake City , Fl. Plenty of quilt shops in Jacksonville and Lake City. People are very friendly here. I love it. lived in Jacksonville all my life until 11 years ago, moved here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Still work in Jacksonville, but when I get back here, it's worth the trip.
Good luck searching for the right place. If you wind up around here, keep in touch, and I'll help you get aquainted with places and things as much as possibl. "Marty"
