    Our DSM are just like cars. We need a good dealership to help us keep it running.

    No, it is not near Ft. Myers but if you are driving and going down I75 it would be on the way. It is near Clearwater FL. While you're at it stop by Rainbow's End Quilt Shop in Dunedin too.

    what a nice outcome for you... and a nice post to support the new shop opening soon. It's always nice to support local.

    I don't know this area very well but am lucky that my job is taking me in your direction. I was just in the Clearwater area at Safety Harbor and visited two shops. I loved Happy Apple Quilts. They were so personable. The next shop I visited, something with "bears" in the name, was having an end of the bolt sale so I found a slim bolt to buy from! I will be in St Petersburg in April. Any suggestions for shops to visit?

    So happy for you. Disappointing when you purchase something and find out there is no support or backup. Same as a store going out. I really enjoyed going to Hancock's then they closed up shop. Nearest is 2 hour drive. I'll spend the driving money here at the local shops. Congrats! Love it when they are so near and supportive!!

    Used to live in Largo, on 66st.N Down Yonder MHP. Moved there to take care of Mom and Fred, stepfather. Met second HD and we moved to Homosassa, with lots of trips for Mom. They are gone and I don't get down there now. Where is new dealer? Tri City plaza? Of course there are a lot of stores down there.

    I will be spending the winter in Bradenton for the first time. Only spent 5 days thére this past spring so I don't know the area very well. (From Michigan). About how far from Bradenton is this new mall? Are there any recommendations from any of you on the quilt shops in the Bradenton/Sarasota areas?✳
