I have driven past this shop/warehouse many times on my way to and from Pioneer Quilts. This was the first time I stopped.
Pendleton is a wool manufacturer and for a warehouse this building/location was wonderful. It felt clean, warm and inviting.
Pendleton: finished goods
The shop is not just a fabric shop, there are finished items for sale as well. I saw wool flannel shirts, throw pillows, blankets, ponchos, jackets, gloves, hats and scarves as well as a number of gift items, such as mugs, plates, trays, and rugs.
The company supports the National Park Service through a series of products they have been making for many years. They have a similar collection of products that support Native American causes.
Pendleton: Felting Supplies
There were also different types of craft kits and supplies. The shop had a fantastic selection of wool roving and felting supplies. I thought of getting some roving as I do like it for pincushions, Mega Pinnies and other stuffed projects, but ultimately decided to wait. I know they have it available for a good price, so I can buy it another time.
Pendleton: Quilt
There was an amazing quilt on display as well as a video showing the making of it.
Pendleton: company history
One fun thing highlighted was that Pendleton Dry Goods Mercantile opened in Disneyland’s Frontierland in 1955. There was a video on the history of the company where this tidbit was included. I am not sure the shop is still part of Disneyland, but I sort of remember it from visits as a kid.
The shop sold wool yardage on rolls. It was wide, too, maybe 55″ wide. I didn’t look closely. The colors were great! Julie bought an offcut to use in one of the Charlie’s Aunt bag patterns. The offcuts were $3 for a certain length or by the piece. I don’t remember, but very affordable and a great option if you don’t like the idea of thrifting for some wool.
This history video also talked about the Pendletones, a band which later became the Beach Boys!
I will definitely go back to this shop. I am glad I was able to take a look and could think about what they had to offer.
If you want to give back to underserved communities, think about selecting a holiday gift from the Chief Joseph or NPS collection.
Friend Julie already wrote about this shop. Take a look at her post to get a different view.
At Sew Creative, I bought a magazine that was part of this year’s Pacific Northwest Shop Hop. I am glad I bought it because it had the names and addresses of various quilt shops on our route. Julie read various parts of the magazine to me as I drove.
Paramount Sew & Vac, Eugene
This shop, Paramount Sew & Vac, in Eugene was one of the shops of which I had never heard. It also would not have been on my radar if it hadn’t been in the Shop Hop magazine. When I see ‘sew and vac’ I don’t think quiltmaking. Stereotyping, I know and I need to try and curb that.
We decided to stop here on a whim, on the drive to Portland, and were really glad we did. First, the place is HUGE, as in grocery store huge. This is the kind of shop we need in the Bay Area. Second they had a LOT: a lot of fabric, a lot of notions, a lot of Accuquilt, a lot of machines. It is well worth a stop
Paramount: Tula’s Graywork
One of the things I was excited to see was Tula’s Graywork for the first time in person! I hadn’t seen it in person before. It was great to see it looks as good as in the photos online.
I ordered some from Pink Door and can’t wait until it arrives. I was sorely tempted to buy a bit, but controlled myself. I do wish Pink Door would send my order. Not sure what the hold up is!
Paramount: so many machines
I was thrilled to see so many machines and be able to look at their prices. I have looked a little online, but you always have to call or go into a shop to get the price. Yes, I am continuing to look for a new machine and I feel like this shop gave me some information I needed to move forward on the project.
Grace Rebel
I had never seen a Grace Rebel machine before, but was excited to see the high harp.
Most people thing BIG harp, but after testing Cyndi’s Juki, I am enamored of a high harp. It is super helpful when making bags, especially if your machine ( like mine) does not have a free arm. As you can see it is a very basic machine. I wasn’t in a place, sadly, were I could test and consider machines, but this looks like a great second machine.
Accuquilt machines
Accuquilt dies
I was impressed to see the amount of Accuquilt dies and supplies that the shop had. I am sure I have never seen so many. I have been considering an electric Accuquilt, though haven’t taken the plunge. I was interested to see a smaller version, the Bolt**, which I hadn’t heard about. I also thought they had more dies than I had ever seen in one place before. I really like to have choices and seeing things in person makes things easier to evaluate.
Paramount: Scan & Cut supplies
The outside walls of the shop held the notions. A few were on the left hand wall as we entered. These were supplies for the Brother Scan & Cut. They were on sale for 40% off, so I took the opportunity to select a few things for my Scan & Cut. I had never seen these machines or supplies in a store and was excited. Sadly, there was a problem with the prices. The prices shown were not the original prices, but had already been marked down. They were more than I was willing to spend on ‘spec, so I passed them up. I need to get familiar with the Scan & Cut before I stock up. At least I know where they have the supplies now.
Paramount: notions
On the other side of the store were more conventional notions: rulers, needles, etc. These were all next to the Accuquilt dies.
Their main line of rulers was Quilter’s Select. I saw a number of sizes I hadn’t seen before, which was interesting. I don’t know if they are knew or I just have never seen them. They had Sew Kind of Wonderful rulers and a few others as well. I didn’t see any Creative Grids or Omnigrid rulers, which I thought was interesting. All of their solids were along the right wall under the notions. I didn’t take a look, so I am not sure what brands were available.
Paramount: More Machines
I can’t stress enough how many machines they had! I was sort of overwhelmed with the number of brands as well. I would definitely go back to look at machines if I lived nearby
This store is definitely worth a short detour, if you are in the area.
Apparently, the company has two locations. The other is in Salem, which I didn’t visit. You can email that shop at: paramountsalem@comcast.net

As mentioned, I am just back from Portland where I rested after a lot of caregiving this year. I went with Friend Julie and we sewed while it rained quite a bit. My other post talks about the various activities in which we engaged.
As I was sewing, I found a few things I had forgotten as I hadn’t delved into my travel supplies quite as much prior to this trip. I realized that I had prepped well for the projects I was bringing, but was missing a few crucial supplies. Fortunately Julie was able to step in. She was in the same position and I was able to help her out with a few things.
Once again, I forgot my Sew Steady table. I survived, but I need to remember it as I bought it and spent some money doing so. Sitting in the fabric isn’t doing anyone any good.
Crafty Carrier front with handle
My travel tool bag is still the Crafty Carrier, which I made last year. It is still working out. It has enough space for two Tupperware containers and my Hildegarde Trunk as well as outside pockets for scissors and other tall things. It weighs a ton, but seems to be holding up well.
I also forgot my big seat cushion. That would have been useful to have as the dining room chairs are on the low side. I was getting up frequently to press, so my hands didn’t suffer.
Best Bag Ever / Ruler Bag
I know I have shown this Ruler bag several times. This trip was a good reminder that it is useful to make sure you have something in which you can carry all your flat things, including a rotary mat.
You have to press and not everywhere has an ironing board or iron. I have a June Tailor Square ‘n Blocker** to use for pressing. I also have a small wool mat. Neither of these are great for yardage, but for smaller pieces they work fine. As mentioned, we ended up finding a large ironing board (normal size) so this is moot for next time.
Apparently, the June Tailor product is no longer available. You might be able to find one on alternate sites. The other quilt and craft sites I looked at listed it as ‘out of stock’. The Oliso MultiMat** might be a good alternative.
You might also want to bring an iron. I have an Oliso Mini iron. It is the original version and the handle gets really hot. Friend Julie has a newer model with an on/off switch and a larger handle that does not get hot. You know how I feel about Oliso, and there are many other brands of small irons from which to choose.
My advice is to think through how you will be working on your projects separately from the actual projects so you can figure out what you need for travel.

As mentioned the other day, we stopped in Ashland to visit Mary and rest in between driving to Portland. On our way out of town, we stopped at Sew Creative. The last time I was there was 2021. No masks this time. 😉
This was the first shop we visited on this trip.
Sew Creative: front to back
The shop was pretty much the same as last time, though with new fabric and supplies. I enjoyed the people working there. They were cheerful and helpful.
The tile on the floor is very striking. It is easy for me to tell which photos are of Sew Creative! I have always liked black and white tile. I forgot they had it in this shop. The shop is STUFFED with all manner of fabric, patterns, notions and quiltmaking supplies.
The front of the shop was set up to invite a person in. They have a small selection of books. I noticed that many quilt stores are not carrying as many books as they once did. Thanks, Amazon.
The small garments were very appealing. I have one small great niece and was tempted to make her something. I resisted as we all know that will never happen.
Sew Creative: front to back – further
They were in the process of changing displays, so the beautiful table was empty. I really like gate leg tables. The staff were cutting fat quarters, I think, in the back. You can see they had a free demo behind the table next to the check out desk.
An impulse buy when I was checking out was the All Pacific Northwest Shop Hop magazine. It isn’t pictured below for some reason and I loaned it to Mary. I am not going to make any of the projects. Too much green and brown and panels and trees. There were some good ideas in the patterns for settings, especially for setting blocks in the corners. I might be able to use some of them for the BAM BOM. The best part was the list of quilt shops. It wasn’t complete, but there were a lot of shops I didn’t know about. The one I visited in Albany with Mom was not listed, for example
Sew Creative: 2d front to back
On the other side of the patterns you see across from the table was a selection of fabric. Last time I found some linen/canvas bag fabric in this area. No such luck this time.
That doesn’t mean I didn’t see some appealing colors and motifs! LOL! I found some of the fabrics I bought at Family Threads on bolts here. There were also some nice greys, for which I am always on the hunt. There was soooo much to look at in this shop that I am seeing things in the photos I don’t remember from when I was actually there. There were quite a few people in the shop and that was a little distracting.
Sew Creative: notions & embroidery
I love their notions. Sew Creative has a good selection and I saw that they had improved their selection of embroidery thread. This went with the wool felt I saw, I think.
The display piece on the left of the photo was crammed with various notions. There was a good selection of needles and I probably should have stocked up on the Chenille needles I use for hand sewing, but was too distracted to think clearly.
Sew Creative: Notions
I was pleased to see some Creative Grids rulers I hadn’t seen before: a 18.5 x 12.5 inch ruler** and a 12.5 x 24.5 inch ruler**. The latter is called “The Big Easy,” which made me laugh. Neither of these are must haves, but recently I have thought they would be useful.
Sew Creative has a good selection of rulers, both small and large. They are largely Creative Grids, but I saw a few other brands as well. I saw a couple of the Jaybird Quilts rulers I used for the Journey to Nebula Sew-a-Long in which I participated a few years ago.
Sew Creative: Notions – Cutting and Sticking
Sew Creative: Notions
The shop also had quite a few scissors and different kinds of ‘sticking’ notions. I also saw a respectable supply of hardware, which made me wonder if they had bagmaking classes. I was somewhat fascinated by how much they were able to cram onto the turntables they used for notions.
Sew Creative: Bag Patterns
I was also enamored of the patterns. I refrained from buying any as I have more than I would like to think about. There was a a really good selection of bag patterns.
I noticed quite a few of the Charlie’s Closet patterns. These are patterns that are shown in wool on the cover. I have thought of making the one I have with an old men’s suit or from a wool coat. I haven’t done it yet as I really need a hard wearing handbag and that means leather. I might try it though. Keep this in mind. It pops up later in the trip.
Sew Creative: Bag and other Patterns
I also noticed jelly roll rug (see above) patterns popping up in several shops. I wonder if they are coming back around as a ‘thing’? I made one a few years ago and may make another. It is a good way to use up fabric. LOL!
There were a few quilt patterns, but the rack (shown left) showed more bag and other projects. There was a two zipper pouch that I liked. I didn’t buy it because I didn’t like the Triple Zip Pouch pattern I made. I do like the idea of a pouch with multiple zippers. I didn’t think I need to buy a pattern as I know Sew Sweetness has at least one. I also know that I made a couple of versions of such a pouch from an Aneela Hoey pattern. Still, I am always happy to peruse patterns and discover new designers.
Sew Creative: Applique’ BOM
The shop had several Block of the Month projects. The applique’ BOMs were hanging on the wall in the back.
The fabrics on the rack in the right front of the photo were Kaffes, Philip Jacobs prints as well as Marcia Derse fabrics. I know I said the shop was crammed, but looking at the photos reminds me of just how crammed it was with almost everything a quiltmaker could want.
Sew Creative: middle to back
Behind the notions was more fabric and a display of wool felt. I don’t remember seeing wool felt the last time I visited. I noticed the various pouches right away, but my mind needs a little time to turn over the implications.
Th back of the store held batiks, tone-on-tones and blenders. I am always surprised to see the rounders that hold fabric draped over bolts. It is a good way to see more of the fabric. I am just always surprised.
Sew Creative: detail of wool pouches
One of the things I found interesting was a class on using wool felt to make pouches. I think they also had some kits. This is something I haven’t thought about, but why not?
I am not as familiar with the properties of wool felt in terms of use, but I like the idea of not having to worry about the raw edges, as you do with quilting cotton.
The shapes of the patterns shown are interesting and I like the idea of being able to embellish the exterior more easily than with quilting cotton. I have been thinking about a wool felt piece for awhile and this display gave me some more ideas.
It would be so nice to have to quilt shop within a few miles of my house.
Sew Creative purchases, 2025
I found a nice grey background, though it is a little dark and some blues that are not turquoise. I might use the grey for the Morning Glory Quilt, though, as mentioned, it is a little dark.
I highly recommend this store. Mary is very lucky to have it close by.

I spent 10 days in Portland and arrived home a few days ago. Of course, I went to quilt shops and will talk about some of the new ones in future posts. I did quite a bit of sewing, which was nice and rested a bit, though not as much as I wanted. I also visited with friends and family.
Penelope, Oct. 2025
I got to spend quite a bit of time with the YM. He has a new apartment since I was there last time, which I got to see. I was also able to check in with “The Beast” as he calls his cat, Penelope.
She was quite happy until I got out my phone to snap a photo, then she got this “no papparazzi” look on her face. She accomplished this by slightly moving her ear back.
I was over at the apartment three times, but she only showed herself this one time. No amount of coaxing could get her out the other times. Oh well. She is a good companion for the YM.
Subaru with IKEA flat packs
The YM had a set of used Elfa (sp?) baskets that he was using as a dresser. He wanted a ride to IKEA to buy new dressers. We looked through the whole store and he ended up with two Gullaberg tall dressers. They are nice white dressers with a lot of drawers. He thought two was too much, but I said that other stuff besides clothes could be stored there as well: games, tools, etc.
We did a few things that were not quilt related. Shocking, I know.
Tula-tu, 10 months old
I have been trying to go visit local sights when I am in Portland. My non-quiltmaker friends and family don’t understand how fun it is to visit quilt shops. They seem to be disappointed when I say I only visited quilt shops! LOL!
This time I went to the zoo. Friend Julie was great for planning outings. She checked the weather, which meant we didn’t walk around outdoors in the rain. The zoo has an 10 month old baby elephant and I had to see her. She is adorable. I took about 100 photos. Very worthwhile to go and see.
Rose-tu and Tula-tu
The zoo is fabulous. While it is a zoo, the enclosures are the best I have ever seen. The first time I went the bears were running around their enclosure under the bridge we were standing on. They looked super happy. This time one was digging for something. I couldn’t see what.
We spent a lot of time with Rose-tu and Tula-tu. Tula-tu is still learning to use her trunk and that was fun to watch. Rose-tu is a great mom! She gently nudged Tula-tu this way and that. We speculated that she was ‘talking’ in a range we couldn’t hear, because Tula-tu kept changing course or doing what Mommy wanted. I think we spent about 20 minutes watching them. The video I took is very calming to watch.
The sea otters (or sea lions??) were also awesome. Watching them swim around their enclosure was also very calming. I was so calm I forgot to take a video, which I regret now. It gives me a reason to go to the zoo again.
Arthouse sewing stations
In the Arthouse, we set the sewing stations similar to how I did the setup last time. We had two sewing machines, so I had to use some different strategies to lay out projects. it worked fine, partially, I think, because I was well organized.
We had to eat meals on the coffee table, because the beautiful dining room table was a full on sewing worktable. Nobody complained. 🙂
Arthouse ironing station
The ironing station was, again, in the kitchen. We used Julie’s small iron, because it is an Oliso v.2 and has a cool headlight feature. It might be a hotter iron, because we had to stack up a couple of ironing pads for when the iron wasn’t in use. I didn’t have to do that last time I was there. Later we found a full sized ironing board in the closet by the front door. I am not sure I have ever looked in that closet! Good to know for next time.
Schnibble Salad
As usual with cutting fabric, we had schnibbles. We ending up putting them in a bowl to keep them corralled.
I had a lot of cutting to do, so the bowl was overflowing by the time we left even though I cut quite a bit at Mary’s house as well. I always see the amount of schnibbles I produce as a marker of how much I am accomplishing.
Pioneer Quilts
We went to Pioneer Quilts again. You can read my last post about it where I complained about forgetting to take a new picture.
I took one this time, though the gardens were not as gorgeous as last summer. It is a really nice store and you should go and visit.
Beauty Berries
I saw this gorgeous purple berry a couple of times. This photo was taken in front of Pioneer Quilts. I really love the color. Someone said they thought it was poisonous. I didn’t see any birds eating the berries.
I think the color is fairly well represented in the photo. I am not sure I have fabric that color, but I’ll have to look. It is very inspiring.
Leah, my hostess, has a new studio in downtown Portland. I am in LOVE. I want a studio like hers. I’d have to start selling quilts or bags to make the rent. She has worked for 10 years to get this studio, working first in her garage, then sharing a studio. She has now graduated to her own 3 room studio where she can have all of her paintings in one place, stand back from her work and see it, do packing and shipping and all the things that a business requires.
Work table? Cutting table? inspiration
She has rented out her garage studio to a young artist. While looking at her work, I saw this table. If I can’t have Leah’s studio, perhaps I can get a table like this?
It would be great for storage and I could use it as a worktable or cutting table. The issue with getting a new table is I have to decide on the size. If I get a large table, I won’t be able to put it in the closet when I need to tidy up. I have to decide whether I care about that.
How to keep the crime rate low
I only went for one walk while I was gone. Yes, I am getting back to my daily walks now that I am home. While I was on that walk I saw this sign. It mimics a joke I have been telling, though my joke was about quiltmaking. I am thinking about making a sign and putting it on one of the sites to create passive income.
We went to a shop on NE Alberta called Collage. It has craft supplies and stationery. My sister turned me on to it, though she likes to visit Salt and Straw after checking out Collage.
I bought some googly eyes to put on the back of my travel sewing machine. Whoever is across from me at Sew Day will have some eyes looking at them. LOL!
Spin Lounge coffee
One exciting thing we did was go to a laundromat! I know it sounds crazy. I hadn’t been to a laundromat in YEARS, but we had to go as nobody has suitcases big enough to carry clothes for our whole trip. This place was sparkling clean, but didn’t feel sterile. It had a monitor-person to answer questions and help with the machines. She was very friendly with all of my stupid questions (no, I did not have the app!) There was a cafe with excellent coffee, though Friend Julie said the scone was yucky, having too much baking powder, a clean restroom and comfy places to sit. it was definitely a much better experience than when I last visited a laundromat.
I did shop for fabric and quiltmaking supplies, but I didn’t go at it as hard as last year.
All in all it was a fun trip and I am planning to go again.
There was no organized Community Quilt project at the Retreat this year as both Community Quilt chair people were otherwise occupied and didn’t attend. Despite that, the group made (or brought) ~15 quilts to hand in. First, I brought the White Strips donation quilt, but couldn’t hand it in, because nobody was there to collect it. Oh well, I’ll hand it in on Saturday.
Lee Ann put the finishing touches on the Improv quilt above. I made a number of the pieces and it was fun to see them. She said it has been sitting around for awhile. I was really glad to see what a great job she did.
Lee Ann’s Flying Geese quilt
Lee Ann also put together a Flying Geese quilt for the Community quilt project that was really interesting.
Peggy gave her the mauve-y red awhile ago and asked her to do something with it. The color wasn’t exactly Lee Ann’s style, but recently she got a layer cake that included fabrics she used for a background. This isn’t a quilt I would make, but I think the combination works really well! Lee Ann did a great job on the piecing. She ran around the room with the quilt fluttering behind her like a cape when she finished! It was a joyful act.
Anna’s heart quilt
Anna also finished a donation quilt that has been hanging around. We all helped her arrange the last few blocks, so she could get the quilt off her UFO list. I thought it was a Pulse quilt that Anna wasn’t able to finish, but she finally figured out it was intended for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting in 2017. In looking through the posts where I communicate the call for victims who need quilts, I was reminded how many times recently there has been some tragedy where a call has gone out. This quilt will make someone very happy. As usual, Anna did a great job.
Melinda was on a binge. She made 10 baby quilts (~34 inches square) from a tub of children’s fabric she can’t remember buying. LOL! I didn’t get any photos of her quilt tops and backs because she was so fast at showing them. She was pleased with how much she got done, but disappointed that she didn’t use up more of the fabric.
Pillowcase donation top
I made a donation quilt with some of the leftover fabric from the pillowcases.
I got the black and white triangle (pinwheel?) fabric from Melinda. She was happy to offload it. I added it to the pillowcase fabrics to make the quilt slightly larger.
As you can see, I messed up the layout somewhere along the way. Someone will like it.
Lynette’s Pillowcase quilt top
I wasn’t that happy with the black quilt once I saw what Lynette made with the other pillowcase scraps. She added a cream background fabric from Melinda to really make the pillowcase scraps shine.
Lynette is a on a potato chip quilt binge. I may have heard of Potato Chip quilts, but I have never made one. I might now that I know how great they can look.
Lee Ann’s special 4-patch donation quilt
Lee Ann found this block somewhere – I didn’t hear the story and made a donation quilt out of children’s fabrics. She added some solids and the quilt top looks really great.
I didn’t bring a scrap bin or my 2.5 inch squares bin and I was sorry. I had to scramble around for leaders and enders and that wasn’t easy. I got quite a bit done using other projects for leaders and enders, but it was difficult. I was shocked at how ingrained sewing with leaders and enders is for me!
I am back from the guild Retreat and pretty pleased with what I accomplished. It is ever enough? No, but I am trying to be satisfied with what I accomplished.
2025 Retreat Completed projects
Two bobbins made 7 pillowcases and 15 blocks containing 1,035 pieces, plus some of the chain Link blocks, two pouches and some various other leaders and enders pieces.
This is my stack of projects. I am quite proud of how much I finished.
Family Threads purchase 2025
I did decide at the last minute, while I was at Family Threads, to make pillowcases for the kids in the Angel Family. I didn’t give them anything last time I saw them. I am so grateful for their good care of my stepdad that I felt like I wanted to do something. Pillowcases have been on my mind so I bought some fabric at Family Threads and then made them.
Last weekend was the guild‘s quilt retreat. It was great to get away and sew for 10 hours per day. Like last year, we went to the St. Francis Retreat Center in San Juan Batista.
This is a picture of all the attendees with some of our projects.
2025 Retreat setup
The room had a different setup than last year, but we had plenty of space to work. There was a tall table where people sandwiched quilts and laid things out. There was a couple of design walls and two cutting tables.
2025 Retreat – my space
My space was more than I needed, but I used it all. LOL! I plunked my machine down when I got there and just used it in that space. I had a whole 6 ft. table to myself and could have moved it over to have more space on the left. It worked pretty well. I got plenty done.
Julie sat across from me, so we were able to chat and get opinions pretty easily.
Hats on machines
Fabric on machines
People started putting ‘hats’ on their machines at night. I am not sure what sparked that, but I saw it a few times with fabric and bags. Keeping the dust off? The machine with the fabric is SueG’s machine and I think she just wanted a decoration for her machine.
They fed us very well. Nice healthy meals even for me. I felt good after the retreat from a food point of view.
Julie and I brought some cocktails and drank them before bedtime. Such a good way to sleep well.
I was very cold the first night. I got up in the middle of the night and put on my fleece jacket. The next day I remembered doing that last year as well. I’ll have to make a note about it for next year.
All in all, a good layout, a good weekend and a general good time.
I visited Birch Fabrics back in October and forgot to post about it. The last time I visited was over 10 years ago. I thought I had been there since then and it is possible. I may not have written a review on those in between visits. It is also possible I have just purchased from their online store. I don’t know.
They have moved to a new space away from downtown and nearer to their warehouse.
Birch Fabrics – first room
The space is MUCH smaller than their previous space, just two small rooms. DH was with me and we also found it a little hard to find. The sign is pretty small.
Still, the space is super clean and well organized. It was very quiet. There was one person working and she was cutting for online orders.
Mostly they had Birch Fabrics, including Charley Harper fabrics, but I saw some Tula fabrics also. There was a small number of notions.
Birch Fabrics – 2d room
One thing I found was a couple of different Sun Hat patterns. One was the Sew Hungry Hippie Bardot Bucket Hat pattern. You know that my first Sun Hat didn’t work out very well. I had been thinking about this pattern and was glad to be able to see it in person. You can buy it at Birch, but also on the SHH website. On the website, they also have a video course and SVG files for separate purchase.
Birch Fabrics, 2024
Anyway, the second room had all of the Charley Harper prints. I have to admit I went a little crazy with those fabrics. I bought quite a few pieces and they are not my normal purchases. I really liked the Charley Harper fabrics, but I tried not to buy them all.
I might make myself an Atlas Zipper Pouch with the turquoise bird fabric. I bought the fish fabrics to make DH a Hackney. I haven’t gotten to it yet.
I’d visit this store again, especially now that I know where it is. Small, but mighty!
As you might have gathered, I really like Portland. I went again last week for a break and to see the YM. He has finally moved back to Portland, so it is much easier to see him. it is also much, much easier to get him home for a weekend, though we haven’t tried that yet.
I saw this double rainbow on the last day I was there. I went out for a walk before the long drive and felt like it was a good sign.
Mom didn’t come this time for a lot of reasons I had to accept. It was also a time where I could use a little break on my own. The drive was long, which is the down side of Mom not joining. Mary M was out of town, so it was a hotel in Crescent City then another long drive from there to Portland over Grant’s Pass. I am really glad there are audiobooks. At some point I am going to have to break the drive into three days, but for now two days was ok.
The weather felt like summer when I left.

Crescent City view
As mentioned, the first stop was in Crescent City. It was a lovely evening. I went for a walk to stretch my legs after I checked into the hotel. The scenery was great. This is a lovely time of year.
The next day I drove over Grant’s Pass which is a nice drive through a forest, but felt fairly sketchy when I stopped. Fortunately, it is only two hours from US 101 to I5.
When I arrived in Portland, I felt like it was definitely Autumn. There was rain during the week and I wasn’t uncomfortable wearing a pullover over my t-shirt and a fleece jacket.
Arthouse cutting/present station
At the Arthouse in Portland, I set up my sewing area. It was a two room sewing area that I shared with food prep and eating. Sewing and measuring were in the dining room while cutting and pressing were in the kitchen
The kitchen has a nice big island, which made it great for cutting. It was also a good height so my back didn’t hurt from cutting out the Holland Pouches. As the week went on, more and more space was taken up with sewing.
The chair in the other room, which you can see on the upper left, is the one I used for sewing. I forgot to take a photo of the dining room where I sewed.
The ruler bag Amanda made me is great for traveling. It holds two rotary cutting mats (different sizes), my sewing machine mat (the Undercover Maker Mat), my June Tailor ironing pad** as well as the wool mat, numerous rulers and my small seat cushion. I forgot to bring my Sew Steady table, but I didn’t really need it since I worked on bags and smaller projects.
Arthouse pressing station
The Arthouse didn’t have an ironing board, so I used the wool mat I received as a gift last year. I have used it, but I haven’t had a chance to really use it a lot. It wasn’t great for pressing yardage, but it worked really well for smaller pieces. I was pleased that it worked so well.
I quickly found that it was better to have the iron and the mat switched. I put the mat where the iron is, in the photo above, and visa versa.
I forgot to bring my needlepoint project, but it was ok. I had some ripping out to do as well as hand finishing and there are always cell phone games.
In general, the sewing went really well. It was nice to have a long stretch of time to work on various projects.
I did go out and about a little bit.
Bagdad Cafe
One day, I went to lunch with Amanda on SE Hawthorne. We didn’t go to any quilt shops for once, but we looked at the different shops in the neighborhood.
We walked by this cafe and reminded me of the buildings in California Adventure, especially the Carthay Circle restaurant. The Bagdad is owned by McMeniman’s. The spelling of the name made me think of bags, like handbags, and dads. That made me laugh.
SE Hawthorne shop prop
I don’t usually visit thrift stores, but they had some interesting and well organized shops. They weren’t junk shops. The stuff looked carefully selected.
I don’t remember the name of the shop where I saw this leaded glass window, but I really liked it. I thought it was interestingly complex without being over the top. The glass choices were excellent, too. It would be a great quilt as well.
We went to lunch at a fried egg restaurant. Shockingly, we ate fried egg sandwiches! Mine had the best gluten free bread I’ve had in a long time. Portland as great GF bakeries and restaurant options. I always eat way too much when I am there.
Well behaved women
On my way back to the car, I saw this sign. I had been thinking about this sentiment before I saw the sign. Is it true? Do you think well behaved women make history?
I am sad that I didn’t get a better picture of it. Eyes are a fabulous lenses and cameras just don’t do the same sort of work . 🙁
Leaves
There was also rain in Portland. Not downpours, but enough to clean my car. It was nice.
I saw this group of leaves with dew one one of my morning walks. I thought the arrangement was beautiful.
I was able to get out and walk almost every day. It was good to keep up my exercise routine. It is fairly easy in Portland, which is another reason I like visiting.
Dogwood by Maude May
The house has a lot of art, thus the name, Arthouse. Each time I go I see different paintings and mixed media pieces, but there are a few that I see over and over. This one by Maude May is a favorite.
YM & Penelope
The YM and I got to spend a bit of time together. I helped the YM do a bit of job searching, house hunting and things that were easier with a car. I provided moral support and a ride for his job searching efforts. I had hoped that my magic wand would work by the time he left, but sadly no luck. He has some opportunities and got a little bureaucracy done with my help.
I also went over to the temporary place he is living and met Penelope. I enjoyed meeting her and got to play with her a bit. She is a feisty girl. When she plays, she puts her claws out right away. The ribbon toy I waved at her immediately got wrapped around her and her claws. Cats I have lived with in the past would let go after a bit, but Penelope hung on and that was the end of playtime.
I briefly visited Sewlarium to pick up some thread and try to get the YM interested in maybe hanging out there. That was the only shop I visited in Portland.
Ocean Waves 2024 purchases
On the way home I stopped at Ocean Waves in Eureka. I haven’t been there in awhile. Friend Julie and I didn’t go when we drove through Eureka on our trip in July. I bought a charm pack to use as the starting point for a quilt for a friend who lost her daughter in a car accident this week. I’ll use some of the other fabrics I bought recently, too.
Of course, I couldn’t resist some Philip Jacobs prints.
I wanted to stop at Springville Quilt Barn again, despite the danger of more fabric. However, they are only open Monday-Thursday and I was driving through on Saturday. That happened on the way up as well. Maybe next time.
Stitch Ferndale purchases 2024
I did stop at Stitch. I bought a gift, which I won’t show now, but I always find something fun there.
I have some of the Tula dots, but they seem to be hidden somewhere. I bought another piece to make the Hackney for me. The others I just liked. I’ll have to think of something to make with them quickly.
North of Eureka
This was a wonderful view from north of Eureka. It has similar topography to the Oregon coast.
There was a better view from the car, but the narrow, windy road prevented me from take a picture through the windshield. This one isn’t bad and you get the idea.
Portland political sign
There were A LOT of political yard signs all over Portland. I saw both parties represented. I really liked this one.
I also saw a lot of political ads on TV. Two of them were about the same candidates from different angles. When I realized that the commercials were about the same candidates I really watched both ads. It was interesting to see the same information (facts??) spun in different ways.
I was glad to go on the trip and hope to get back to see the YM soon.

The reason I love it is the color. I need to remember these photos and use them when I redo rooms in my house.
The exuberance and color start on the outside before you even enter the shop. Then it continues on in all of the rooms and the goods (gifts, fabric, yarn, paint, etc) they offer. The walls are amazing: turquoise, yellow, violet and then bright white to show everything off. Fabulous.
Kaffe and friends fabrics
I didn’t read my previous review before I visited, but I remembered they had a lot of Kaffe. They don’t have a lot. They have ALL the Kaffe, ALL of the Philip Jacobs prints and all of the Brandon’s designs. ALL. OF. THEM. Roxanne’s also had all the dots. I bought one I had never seen before. They had all of the stripes, Shark’s teeth and all of the colorways.
Of course, I wanted it all, but I restrained myself. I bought quite a bit on my Portland trip and, though I have used a lot of it, I still want to use another 50 yards before the end of the year. What I really want is a place to store all of the fabric I want and a large space to work on all of the projects I want when I want. I guess I should play the lottery.
Roxanne’s Tula prints
Roxanne’s has all the latest and best designer fabric. Yes, Kaffe, but also Tula.
Check out all the Tula True Colors: the large dots, the tiny dots, the tiny stripes plus pre-cuts of ALL of them. How come I don’t see these in other shops? Is it because California is so expensive? If I am going to move somewhere the are near this shop is a contender.
Roxanne’s solids
Not only did the shop have Free Spirit solids, but they also had the Moda Bella solids and Grunge. There were also some Grunge dots. I looked for that certain violet I like from Free Spirit but I didn’t see it.
Do you see the great turquoise wall in the background? Isn’t it fabulous?
Roxanne’s bag pattern area
I looked for hat patterns, too. I am not happy with the pattern I am using for the Sun Hat. I probably did something wrong, but it isn’t working out the way I had hoped.
I didn’t find any hat patterns, but I did find A LOT of bag patterns. The shop also had quite a few samples. I liked the one in the center. I thought it was kind of like a file box, but it turns out to be more of a bag with bamboo or stick-like handles. The sample of the Mondo Bag uses great colors.
The bag area also had a lot of kits. Kits are very popular, it’s kind of surprising. I guess people want to just sew. I can relate, but I love shopping for fabric, so I’ll leave the kits to others.
Roxanne’s Kaffe room
I want to decorate one of my rooms like this, though maybe with the same print in cool colors. I do like the combination of the yellow with the Chrysanthemum print.
I know these colors work, because they are bold, but also because they have the right lighting and they are balanced with a great white on the ceilings and on the trim.
Roxanne’s Kaffe room
You can see more detail in the photo from the other side of the room.
The pre-cuts are fat quarter bundles and some charm packs.
There are also more nice quilts. Look how the quilts go with the decor!
Roxanne’s bolts
This room had a lot of quilts for sale, but also had quite a few pre-cuts. I was also amazed to see bolts for sale.
I have never seen bolts for sale like this. They were wrapped up in Saran Wrap-like plastic wrap ensuring that you buy the whole bolt. There were a lot of Kaffe prints, some Tula, including the goldfish, my man Phil and some Anna Maria prints. I saw the grey dots that I use for some of the Fabric of the Year bindings. I wanted one, but I didn’t buy one. I have no idea how much they cost.
Roxanne’s towards the Kaffe
This is the view towards the Kaffe fabric. There was some Tilda fabric behind this shelf..
Out of the picture is a large selection of Anna Maria fabrics. Across from the fabrics shown were the most amazing selection of pre-cuts. I mentioned it before, but these pre-cuts really made me want to buy one, especially when I saw that they had a free bag pattern if you bought a Jelly Roll.
Roxanne’s free bag pattern
I liked the bag. I think what I liked most was the selection of Kaffe strips. I looked at the piece long and hard and decided that I could cut strips off that fabrics I have and make a similar bag. Perhaps it could even be a guild project?
I thought I could use SIL2’s demonstration of Quilt as you Go for the outside. I’d prefer the interfacing was Soft & Stable** so the bag would stand up. I am sure I could make the outside this way and then insert the lining separately. It’s worth thinking about.
Roxanne’s notions
The shop also had a good selection of notions. i always lok for Chenille needles, but I didn’t find the 24s and 26s that I like. it doesn’t matter since they had a lot of other cool notions, like several different types of tweezers.
On the back wall were rulers, including one that helped square up corners and make round corners. I think I have something similar at home, so I didn’t buy it.
Roxanne’s Featherweights
Roxanne’s Featherweight accessories
The shop also refurbishes and sells Featherweights. I saw one that was turquoise. I didn’t look at the prices of it or of any of them. I might have liked the look of the turquoise Featherweight, but I don’t need one.
Roxanne’s yarn room
The shop does not just have fabric. They also have yarn and this was a beautiful yarn room. I took a quick look and then walked away as I don’t want to buy more yarn.
I couldn’t help enjoy the beauty of the room, however. Doesn’t it make you want to buy everything?
Roxanne’s purchases 2024
I bought one Charley Harper print. They were $16.99/yard!! Fortunately, the shop was having a sale. $16.99 is a lot even for me.
The dots are Kaffe dots in a colorway I have never seen. I may never use it (joke), but I liked it.
The red-violet is for a project and I will use it right away, or nearly right away. I was annoyed at some tweezers I bought recently, so I got a different pair and will try those.

I went out of town with DH and it wasn’t a great weekend. I was just in a bad mood all weekend, it was hot and the events were not interesting. Or I just couldn’t appreciate them. 🙁
I found a couple of quilt shops, but when I had time, I decided I wasn’t up for the half hour drive each way on my own. A friend with whom I usually spend time wasn’t available.
In an effort not to be a sourpuss and to try and see the good in the trip, I wanted to share a couple of photos with you.
One of the good things during the trip was Fosselman’s. Fosselman’s is a full-service, old-fashioned soda fountain that offers both sit-down and to-go items. They make all our ice cream on the premises in small batch freezers.
I went there while DH was at a members only event and ate WAY too much ice cream. I sat and wrote postcards and wrote in my journal while I ate a hot fudge sundae, etc. It was a good way to spend a couple of hours.

Mission San Gabriel church
The activities were centered in San Gabriel, California right near the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel. The organization dedicated a girls’ high school, Mission San Gabriel High School*. I was impressed with the principal’s dedication and the students that I met. We had dinner in the courtyard of the mission after a tour of the recently restored church.
The tour guide was a parishioner and she was very good.
Mission San Gabriel Altar detail
The church had an arson fire in 2020, which required $8 million in restoration. The entire back of the church was significantly damaged, though the walls did not fall. The altar was not touched, though had smoke and water damage. They still need another few million.
I have seen a lot of amazing altars all over the world. I was really impressed with this one. I have never seen one with statues like this. It was really different and interesting.
The painting on the altar is tempera on wood. The statues on the altar are:
Virgin Mary (bottom middle)
St. Joachim (bottom left)
St. Francis of Asissi ( top left)
Archangel Gabriel (center top)
St. Anthony of Padua (top right)
St. Dominic (bottom right)
Mission San Gabriel bells
We had dinner in the courtyard. The location was beautiful and I am sure the food was delicious. I wouldn’t know since they had nothing gluten free and weren’t prepared for me.????
We went to take a look at the garden and saw a beautiful view of the bells.
The garden has a wonderful fountain where Native Americans hold ceremonies now.
I thought Mission San Gabriel was worth a visit, though I would have rather been at home in the cool sewing.
Doctors, nurses and Charitable Foundation Board
The big check presentation was worth the less than stellar weekend. The hospital does such great work with the kids AND their families. The treatment lasts from birth through 18-20, because of the changes happening as kids grow. The treatment is holistic as well. The program includes surgeries, speech therapy, orthodontics and dentistry, psychological counseling for the whole family and many other aspects that help develop a happy, healthy, mentally stable person. I am so proud of the Native Sons for this effort. The spaghetti dinners, BBQs and raffle baskets contribute to the donation every year. There is no corporate angel giving the money and the Board of the Charitable Foundation does not get paid or reimbursed for their work. All the money that comes from $5, $10 and $20 fundraising gifts goes straight to funding treatment. You can donate at the NSGW website.
Roxanne’s in Carpenteria
I did make it to Roxanne’s in Carpenteria. That shop makes me super happy. You can see a review of my previous visit or wait for my new review.
*If you live in SoCal and your daughter needs an amazing high school, this on has an amazing curriculum and the tuition is unbelievably reasonable.
OMG! I have been to so many quilt shops in the last few weeks! It is really awesome. I don’t have a fabric hangover yet, but I’ll need to sew up a storm.
Springville Quilt Barn
The Springville Quilt Barn is in the space once occupied by Kim’s Fortuna Fabric and Crafts. I visited the previous shop in 2010, but it only got a brief mention in one of my previous posts. I don’t remember anything about it other than a shop was there.
Springville Quilt Barn – front
The Springville shop was crowded with fabric, books, kits, notions and was somewhat disorganized. It was not dirty and was filled with GREAT fabric. I enjoyed the discovery process. Everywhere I turned were colors and patterns I love. Jan Leonardo is the owner and she was very friendly and engaged with us.
The front of the shop gave us a taste of what was to come. As soon as we walked in we saw tons of fabric, books, kits, and notions. They were nicely arranged, in my opinion.
Springville Quilt Barn – notions area
I think Jan had a lot going on. She was creating kits, serving customers, posting to her website and all the other things that go into owning a quilt shop business.
There were quite a few notions and I don’t really think I was able to take in all the fabric that was available. It was, mostly, organized by line and somewhat by designer as well. For example, most of the Tilda fabrics were near each other. I saw Tula, Tilda, some Kaffe (and my man, Phil), but lots of other designers as well.
Springville Quilt Barn – Tula Homemade corner
One thing I noticed is that the shop has older prints from the various designers. For example I saw bolts of Tula Homemade there. Not all are listed on the shop website, so call if you need more of a specific print.
Of course, there were other bolts in that corner as well. I also saw quite a few panels in the same corner and in other parts of the shop. I am seeing more panels lately. Are they more popular or have always been popular and I just haven’t noticed them?
FQ packs were everywhere as well.
Springville Quilt Barn fabric
Springville Quilt Barn fabric – detail
I loved the long rows of shelving filled with fabric bolts.
I bought some fabric for gifts, but I also bought a half yard pack of Tilda Bloomsville fabric that I have been admiring. The colors are super cheerful, though there are a few that are a little icky. I hope the colors I like will mitigate any ickiness.
Springville Quilt Barn purchases
The pack includes the flower prints only not the focus fabrics from that line. I think Jan put the pack together herself as opposed to it being a group assembled by Free Spirit or whichever company distributes Tilda. It was kind of an impulse buy, but I also bought a magazine with a pattern I am going to use for it. Perhaps I’ll start as soon as I get home now that the Green Strips donation quilt is in a good place.
Kruusn is in Coos Bay and it was one of the only quilt shops we passed that was open on a Sunday. We actually went out of our way to find the shop, but it wasn’t terribly far out of the way and it was totally worth it.
The store looked like a beach house and when we pulled up I was afraid I was walking into someone’s living room. There were family members there living their lives, but it was definitely a quilt shop.
Kruusn entrance
Kruusn was packed with fabric, bag supplies, patterns, tools and panels. I didn’t see many kits, but I also wasn’t looking. You see it all the minute you walk in. I found plenty to buy there.
The people were super friendly once we all warmed up. They didn’t try and hard sell me on anything, though one of the clerk’s extolled the virtues of rope bowls and showed us both the one she made and embellished with the moon and stars fabric we both bought.
There was so much to look at I had to go through the shop twice.
Kruusn notions
Kruusn bag supplies
Kruusn bag supplies and interfacing
The front room had tons of notions and bag supplies. I had to stop myself from buying notions. They had so many different scissors and rotary cutters and lots of things I had never seen before. I took advantage of the selection to buy some gifts.
I was really interested in how many ByAnnie patterns and supplies the shop had. They had the most complete set of zippers (all the colors??) I have seen. There were other brands as well. I bought some interesting zipper pulls and some bag gifts for SueG.
Kruusn had a nice selection of V&Co ombre fabrics. You can see them on the back wall of the photo, left.
Friend Julie spent a lot of time in there. I had to go find her at one point as I hadn’t seen her. It turns out she was checking the requirements for a quilt she wants to make and needed a specific ombre.
You can also see how every surface held something interesting. There were lots of charm packs and fat quarter/half yard packs all around the shop.
Kruusn – Ombre Room with Kimberbell
The other side of the ombre room held batiks and marbly looking fabrics, including some of the Tonga Treats. There were also A LOT of Kimberbell products.
There were a lot of blanks I have never seen, such as zipper pouch blanks. I also aprons, a variety – a wide variety – of interfacing.
There were things I rarely see in quilt shops such as Art Bin totes and pillow forms. It makes me wonder if they are one of the few shops in the area. If so, they are full service.
Kruusn – back room
They had a respectable amount of everything, but not tons. The shop was full of a lot of different things. It is clear that they are supplying materials for pre-cut projects as well as the pre-cuts themselves.
First they have pre-cuts, as we have mentioned, but then they supplied books for using pre-cuts and a variety of projects that use pre-cuts.
I saw a couple of projects using Bosal as well as patterns for a wide variety of small projects – bags, baskets and other gifts.
Kruusn – gnome & pets
If you need a ‘Gnome for the Holidays’ quilt kit, this is your store!
This room also had a lot of pet fabrics. On the wall, left, is a fun dog quilt.
Next to the pets is a ‘soft book library’ with kits to make the books underneath. Also, they had a supply of Cutterpillar products, which I have discussed in a recent V&S post.
Modern Necchi
One of the most interesting things was a modern Necchi. I have never seen one of these before. I have also never heard of one. It turns out Kruusn is a Necchi dealer. That is novel! Seeing the machine immediately catapulted me back to the Necchi I own. As you know it was my great grandmother’s machine. I got it repaired a long time ago, but don’t use it for sewing.
The shop was worth visiting. They had a lot of fabric, charm packs, mini charm packs as well as an excellent section of tools and supplies. They have a rewards program where customers can earn a $10 gift card for each $200 purchased.

We stopped in Newport, Oregon to see a BAM friend who moved there a few years ago. I have been wanting to drive down the coast and seeing her was a good excuse.
We spent the whole day on Saturday out and about including visiting Quilter’s Cove quilt shop.
Quilter’s Cove: fabric
This shop has a coastal theme, as do many of the shops along the coast of Oregon. I probably said that when I talked about the quilt shops I visiting back in 2015 such as Quilter’s Corner (still in business, but was closed when we went by Port Orford). The shop had a lot of batiks in blues and greens.
Quilter’s Cove: patterns and fabric
I was also super impressed with the number of Laura Heine patterns Quilter’s Cove had in the shop. If you want to see a Laura Heine pattern made up, this is the shop for you. I don’t know how many patterns are available but there were a lot of them.
I thought about making the Fish pattern as a gift, but I decided to hold off. I’d like to know how the process works. Also, I am not that interested in recreating something someone else designed.
Quilter’s Cove: notions
I was impressed with the notions the shop had. They has a wide variety of tools. They had a wide variety of machine and hand needles. I also saw several versions of the Magic Pins**, and a whole line of rotary cutters. I didn’t see a lot of rulers, though they had quite a few Add-a-Quarter rulers**.
Quilter’s Cove: notions
The most interesting thing was that they had Martelli’s rotary blade replacements. I never thought of where I would get Martelli blades if I decided to buy one of their rotary cutters. I have only seen them sold at quilt shows. I have no idea whether or not an Olfa replacement blade, for example, would work in a Martelli rotary cutter.
Quilter’s Cove: fabrics
Quilter’s Cove: fabrics
They displayed the fabrics in a way that was a cross between House of Fabrics and a quilt shop. It was an easy way to see what the fabrics looked like.
