I visited Pioneer Quilts AGAIN! At that visit, I introduced Julie to the goodness that is Pioneer Quilts.
I did not take the full complement of pictures this time as you have seen the place a million times. I was going to use the creepy view of the building from 2018. However, Friend Julie was kind enough to share her photos with me. She took different photos than I did and has already posted about the trip to her blog. I also visited in January of 2018, March of 2022 and January 2023. I should have taken a photo, because the garden was beautiful this time. All the gardens in Portland are gorgeous. I keep taking photos of flowers!
This time I went into the holiday section first. I know I have looked at that section before, but not in as much detail. They have a Halloween room and a Christmas room.
I really loved the Halloween fabrics, but didn’t buy any. I tried to get Friend Julie to buy some. She did a good job of resisting.
That center table has a fun Halloween witch’s hat pattern from Crabapple Hill Studios. I love their designs. They are so whimsical and fun. I think of buying them and making one of the series into a quilt, but then I realize how many other projects I have. I may do it, but it is pretty far down the list.
I did buy an interesting stripe from the Christmas room. It is broken up a little and the motif is that the ribbons are overlapping. It is cool.
The other cool thing I saw is that they had a display of patterns that relate to the fabric in that room.
I found that working on my EPP Ball #4 was a pain. The scissors I had in my Enigma pouch were not sharp enough to clip threads, so I bought another pair of Karen Kay Buckley scissors** and they are fantastic, of course.
I saw a really nice few through the connecting hallway from the holiday rooms to the main part of the shop.
You can see all the way down the hall to turn to the main shop. It is filled with quilts and fabric.
