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.


I lived in Davie for 20+ yrs before I moved to N Fl. There's a good quilt store either on Stirling or Griffin Rd, called Once Upon a Quilt

I retired to Ocala a year ago from California. If it weren't for the snowbirds in my mobile home park it would have been a very hard adjustment.

Hi there,

We live in Estero in the winter. In the summer, we live in MI. My in-laws used to live in Naples and I remember, about 100 yrs. ago, we went to Estero to pick oranges and I said, "You mean this is a real place, with an actual name?!?" Now look at it!!!
