California has it for climate! I am in SoCal and we are 70's and 80's a lot of the year - very little humidity....HOWEVER, if you want money to spend on quilting then you might want to reconsider this place. It is expensive = especially if you live near the beach or anywhere not in the desert. There are lots of quilting things here...shops, guilds, people galore! You will never be without someone to talk to! ha ha.
