I just might try your guild, Barbara! I might even just make a special trip because Daddy usually takes special bus trips that Salishan set up for them on Wednesdays. I'll take a look at your site for details. Thanks for the invite!

Can't wait to meet you. Our next meeting will be November 9th. Our special program for November will be "Quilting Geometry, a good, smart thing to know as a quilter.

After reading ALL the pages. :-) So far, it looks like I'm the only one in the keys. We live year round on Cudjoe Key and work in Key West.

Anyone else in the keys?

I am in Sunrise, FL, just east of Fort Lauderdale on the edge of the Everglades in Broward County. I have only been quilting for a year and a half, but love it! Wish I had more time (and more local quilt stores!).

I thought I was the only one who notice that their help sucked. I will not shop there anymore'

I live about 10 miles from Rainbow's end and have the same attitude. I love Country Quilts and Bears in Clearwater and Happy Apple Quilts in Oldsmar. These may be smaller, but much more friendly.

Hi Diane, I live in Margate, 15 min west of Ft Lauderdale, I work across the street from Sunshine Fabrics. What is the second quilt shop? Country Stitches closed I believe! We have Cynthia's Fine fabrics in the area.
