Good luck finding that. We moved here to WI from Orlando, FL & I was so excited since I, too, hate heat & humidity. Come to find out, WI gets the worst of both worlds... hot & humid in the summer (temps over 100 & high humidity are not uncommon) & long, dark, snowy, dark winters (the coldest wind chill since I moved here? -60 the first Xmas we were here). *Sigh* I wonder where the perfect temps are? Our weatherman says San Diego but my DD lives there & isn't particularly impressed.

Mount Dora is a charming city and a nice area. Once you get settled and have found all the nearby quilt shops, venture a little further to the Quilt Shop of Deland. It is in the downtown shopping area and many of the merchants have reciprocal deals. But the shop itself it a beehive of activity: http://www.quiltshopofdeland.com/.

Mt Dora
Mt. Dora is a very nice town. Lots of beautiful lakes. There is a water path to Dora lake that makes you think you are living in the past. Beautiful cypress trees growing from the water.

Thanks so much for the good wishes and imformation! We're very excited except about the part of moving not once but twice. We plan on building in Sullivan Ranch and need to rent while it's getting done. UGH!!!! But when it's finished I will have a quilt room of my dreams so I can wait! Cross country moves are sooooo hard! I will be leaving 2 daughters & 5 grands 
but getting close to a son (Orlando) and hopefully future grands

I live in Ocoee which is about 30 minutes from Mt. Dora. There is a quilt shop in Mt. Dora that has expanded last year. It is still somewhat smaller, but very nice. They have a nice selection of fabrics and machines. It is Sew Many Things. I don't know the address but it is not hard to find. There is another fabric place, Material Girl who used to be in Apopka and moved to Mt. Dora or Eustis. She is open by appointment only. I have not been there since she moved. She used to carry a lot of Moda and probably still does.
There is a quilt shop in Clermont that is downtown, Clermont Sewing Center. It is a nice shop but she doesn't carry a huge variety of fabric. She also sells Viking machines. There is Nancy's Quilt shop in Winter Garden that has just moved into larger quarters. She has the largest selection and she carries a lot of patterns, rulers, precut fabrics. She is right downtown on Plant St. She is just a few miles down the road (4 mi.) from me. We have had several stores close in the last year. There is a very nice Bernina Store in Oviedo. There are several more in Orlando...but this should give you a start when you get here and get ready to shop. Who knows, we might run into each other.

The name of the quilt shop in Mt. Dora is SEW MINI Things. I LOVE it. Love their choices in fabrics. The guys who work/own the shop are absolutely wonderful in helping you pick out coordinating fabrics.
