Ginny gave me a great idea - Thanks Ginny. She wanted to see how many quilters were from the great state of MN.

Since I am from Florida - let me ask the same question.

Do you live in Florida? Are you a Snowbird? Where do you live?

I live in Naples :)

I live in New York State and travel to Tampa, FL to visit my daughter. I found a great quilt shop, Rainbows End in Dunedin. It's a wonderful shop if you're in the neighborhood...what am I saying, I travel from Tampa to Dunedin.....45 minutes to an hour trip just for the shop.

I live in Fort Myers and a group of us get together every other Sunday for a day of quilting, PM me anyone in our area that would like to join us. We have a GREAT time one of our group is a pattern designer for Windham Fabrics, one has a mid arm she let's us come over and use, I provide the space for our Sunday gatherings. Sometimes we all do a project together, sometimes just work on our own projects, lots of "show and tell", and laughter, if you need help with anything, someone there is bound to know how to help you.

I live in Englewood full time. Trying to talk hubbie into going back to snowbirding, summers are too HOT for me. LOL I want to see the fall foliage and pick apples again in New England.

Wendys Quilts 10-19-2011 10:26 AM

I live in Green Cove Springs all year. We retired here, she'd love it!!!!! It is south of Orange Park and Jacksonville.

jeanau 10-19-2011 10:56 AM

I just got back from a little drive to see the leaves here in Pittsburgh. They are beautiful...but it is windy and they are coming down like snow flakes. I wanted to see them one more time before the trees are bare! :)

We are snowbirds and heatbirds! 3 months in Tampa area in winter and 3 months in Vermont in summer. The rest of the time in east TN with a beautiful view of the Smokies. I love my mountains! No, we are not full timers, we're half timers!
My parents moved from GA to central FL in '68 while we were in England. We were stationed at Pensacola NAS in the 70's.

Winter in Pinellas Park. I visit in Englewood as my cousin lives there.

Someone mentioned Rainbow's end. That is a nice store, very big and pricy. I like the one in Clearwater better. County Quilts and Bears. I also like the one in Oldsmar, it has two names, one being something with apple in it. They vendor a lot of the quilt shows.

sewingsusie 10-20-2011 08:33 AM

I live in Ft Myers--full time but originally from Illinois.

candi 10-20-2011 08:45 AM

I live half way in between Jacksonville and FL...most of the year except when we are away for work like right now. And it is getting cold here, I am ready to be home :mrgreen: I see a couple of quilters from the board live near me...maybe we can form a group.
Hiya FL friends :P

I visited my daughter and we spent a weekend in Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda...there was a cute little quilt shop in a strip mall that we stumbled upon while walking......can't remember the name.
