I agree. Deland is a nice little town. Stetson Universary is there and is quite pretty. Daytona Beach is about 45-60 mins away, Orlando is within driving distance. Quilt Shop of Deland is a very nice shop with friendly staff. The store is not huge but they have lots of fabric, notions,etc. to pick from. Orange City is nearby with a nice shop, Ormond Beach has a great shop as well as Daytona and New Smyrna Beach. Lots of quilting purchase opportunities.
