If I was in Clearwater, I'd head to Rainbow's End in Dunedin! It can be a little overwhelming; DH might want to bring a book to sit and relax with while you browse. ;)

I have been to Sew Worth it in Sarasota 5507 Palmer Crossing CircleSarasota, FL 34233 , a very nice little quilt shop, if you you get a chance to ride south from there to Venice, Fl Deborah's quilt basket is nice. Oh and if your in Venice try The Soda Fountain, they make the best homemade milk shakes.

I liked Alma Sue's best in the area. I do love watching the mennonite (?) ladies hand quilt. Though there's one on Clarke's Road that's also pretty nice. Would love to hear where you went and what you thought of the shops there!

When you make it to a Quilt Shop look for a Country Register newspaper. It will list and map Quilt Shops in Florida. It also has their ads so you can see how big the shop is and whats going on.
