Quilting in Florida
Florida has its own quilting community, traditions, and shops. Florida is the only state that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. For local quilters, the state's active guilds run annual or biennial shows that are smaller than the national circuit but often easier to attend.
Shopping Before (or Instead of) the Show
Vendor booths at Florida shows carry the same kinds of fabric you can shop online any time — handy if the show is months away or you can't make the trip.
