Hi Penny ...welcome from the sunny state of Florida ! When you do find a quilt store ask them if they have a copy of the book that tells you where all the quilt stores in the US are. I know that my quilt store has one and I've seen them in other quilt stores. This way you can look up head of time where you want to go (and how your going to get there) by where the stores are on the map to your destination.
You'll love it here ! Happy trails !
