Hi and welcome from central part of Indiana!

Hi Marcia...South Georgia is Valdosta, GA....down I-75 a few miles from you. I am very familiar with Macon...we lived in Locust Grove, GA for almost 15 years before we moved to Jax, FL. Valdosta is a small GA town and we love it here. Our granddaughter goes to Valdosta State University and that's how we became interested in moving here.

Does Macon have a lot of Quilting Stores? That is one thing I miss here, and with Wal-Mart closing all their fabric sections it is hard to find fabric. We do however, have a Hobby Lobby and a Singer store that carries fabric, and I've learned to order on line also. A lot of quilting stores gives classes and that is what I miss.

It's so nice to have an outlet like this forum too, and be able to discuss any problems with others that have the same interest as you. And to see all the pretty quilts everyone makes....wanda

Hi, welcome from East Texas.

Wanda--I know where Valdosta is--my brother graduated from Valdosta State. I have an aunt and several cousins who live in Thomasville and my brother lives right outside of Thomasville in Ochlocknee.

There is a member of our board, Bonnie, who lives not too far from you in Lakeland, GA. Her board name is Bill'sBonBon. She belongs to the Withlacoochee Quilters Guild in Valdosta.

I live just north of Forsyth, right off of I-75. My oldest daughter lives in Macon, so I am there frequently. There was a quilt shop in Macon for a while, but it closed several years ago. All that is in Macon now is a Hancock Fabrics and it is such a dirty rundown store that I hate to even go there. My closest quilt shop is in Jackson. There is also one in McDonough and one in Jonesboro that I shop at.

It is always nice to have another "Georgia girl" on the board. :-)

Hello Wanda you and I are neighbors almost. I live in Lakeland GA. I am bout 15 min. away from Valdosta go to Walmart there. There are 2 Walmart stores in Valdosta one on Perimiter and the other on Norman Drive. The one on Perimeter has material still was there yesterday. Maybe we can meet up sometimes. I am in a Quilting Guild in Valdosta. It meets every WED for sit and sew from 9 to 12 oclock. We hold our meetings at Grace Bible Church at 401 East Park Street. It is called Withlacoochee Quilters Guild. They are a super nice bunch. There is a quilt shop across from the Church on the next street. Get a discount if you are a member of the Guild. I am also a Grand and Grt.Grand Mother. Love Them All. There are more quilt shops close if you go on our web site,it is new for us, you will see the links.
