Quilt shows?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Some of my favorite shops, Block Therapy in Gautier, MS (just off I-10). Don't miss A&E Pharmacy in Pensacola. You will be amazed. Quilting by the Bay in Panama City. Those are my three favorite that you may be passing.

Let me reiterate that you don't want to miss A & E Pharmacy in Pensacola. My wife and I went there last fall and we were blown away. Also if you want to browse gadgets, etc. go to Martelli in Pensacola. I would LOVE to have one of their tables, and the mats and rulers are awesome. I use their rotary cutter and love it. Sounds like a great trip. I hope you enjoy yourselves.

Another vote for A and E Pharmacy! We spent some of the winter on the Gulf Coast, and I made 3 trips to A and E! Huge selection, and very friendly and helpful staff! Have fun!

Go to Quilter's Hideout in N. Ft. Myers, Fl. A very nice shop with different patterns, samples hanging. I really enjoy that place. The local quilt show there is in January.
