You just named my other 2 favorite shops. I also like Scrap and Sew in Lutz, Quilt Til You Wilt in Hudson, and Quilts on Plum Lane in Dade City.

But as a friendlier shop and not so pricey, I prefer Country Quilts and Bears in Clearwater, and Happy Apple Quilts/Crafty Threadsin Oldsmar (mailing address, Tampa).

Rainbows end has an amazing selection, but I agree Country Quilts is very friendly and has a wonderful varied, though smaller selection. They have wonderful classes and a great Christmas mystery quilt activity. They can give you great advice in matching up to a group or guild too. I live here all the time, but many responsibilities at my school and family don't allow time for group/guild activities. Welcome to the Tampa Bay area and remember this phrase: Go Rays!!!!

AMI us about an hour south from the Tampa airport - or 25 minutes from the Sarasota Bradentton Airport. If you know where Bradenton is, you take a bridge over to AMI. We first went over 20 years ago, and when we had the chance, bought a condo there. Don't get there often, but in a few more years, hope to get away from western NY winters!
Nope, Fast Eddie's is gone. No chains in the island, still, but many of the restaurants that we used to love are gone. Rotten Ralph's, AMI Pier and the Gulf Drive Cafe are the only ones that have been there the entire time we've been going (maybe the Sandbar, but we didn't take kids there!).
Plugging a few more FL shops - Cotton Patch just south of Bradenton and Quilter's Haven in Palmetto
