I used to live in Utah. St. George is a nice area, but it is hotter than hockey sticks in the summer. Temps above 100 are normal, and 110 isn’t unusual. No matter how dry it is, that is HOT! We have stayed in the area in the winter, but I don’t stop in the summer. There are a few nice quilt shops including Fab Fabrics that used to be part of Superior Threads. And of course Superior Threads is a fabulous place. They used to let you wander through their stock and fill you own basket, but has stopped a few years back.
