I am north of you, there should be several in your area, do a search online. To check a store out make a list of what is important to you. Go to the ones in your area, check them out, buy a couple of fat quarters at each and be sure to ask for any handouts or to get on their email list. If classes are important ask specifically about that. If you come up to the Clearwater/St. Pete area check out Country Quilts and Bears in Clearwater on Drew St. and Rainbow's End in Dunedin. JoAnn's is always good with coupons for tools and notions especially. Welcome to the board!
