My Quilting Loft is in Troutdale. I don’t know where Troutdale is, though we visited on the day that we also went to Knitted Wit and Feather Your Nest, so I know it is outside Portland. The inside reminded me of another shop I can’t quite bring to mind.
It is on the main Troutdale street and very easy to find. The main street also has a good coffee shop with interesting coffees and other drinks.
The shop is a bright open space with a carefully curated selection of fabric.
I really liked the front windows a lot. I would love a quiltmaking space with such windows even though I would have to protect my fabric.
They had a lot of fabric packs with 3 yards and 3 or 4 fabrics.
There were also a lot of patterns.
They were filling orders and when I asked about it, they talked to me about a live sale they have regularly.
One of the things My Quilting Loft has is their Pouch Club. This is a great idea to get people interested in making pouches and, ultimately, bags. Each month you get a pattern, a set of mini-charms or fat eighths and a zipper. The cost is $19.99. This seems like a good price knowing how much patterns cost. You can find all the information using the pouch option under the Subscriptions & Clubs page. The information doesn’t say whether they have a work session to help make the pouch or to answer questions. I also can’t tell if you can subscribe if you don’t live in the area. It is likely that they want you to come into the shop to pick up your kit.
I continued my hunt for pillowcase fabric for the nephew and found a couple of yards. I’ll use the tree fabric for the cuffs. The black fabric will be used for additional blocks I plan to make using my Orange Peel circle idea.
