I <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/portland-shop-hop-pioneer-quilts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote about it<\/a> a little while ago. The shop had refreshed fabrics and had moved some things around in the lobby area, but was otherwise the same great shop. I looked for ideas for the wool felt I bought <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2021\/06\/travel-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last time<\/a>. I refrained from buying more wool felt, though I was tempted.<\/p>\n<p>I saw some pincushions I could make and also some table runners, though they used black as a background (patterns from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primitivegatherings.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Primitive Gatherings<\/a>).&nbsp; I don&#8217;t want something that dark or folk-arty, which is why I was thinking of buying some wool felt yardage. I didn&#8217;t as I got the idea to cut overlapping ovals (or another another shape) from what I have and putting them together to make a table runner for the buffet. I&#8217;ll check the wool felt I have at home and see if I can make something large enough with the wool felt I have.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-55474 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20220317_224217_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317_224217_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pioneer Quilts door handles\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-55453\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-55453'>\n\t\t\t\tPioneer Quilts door handles\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20220317_153946_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220317_153946_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pioneer Quilts door handles - detail\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-55456\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-55456'>\n\t\t\t\tPioneer Quilts door handles &#8211;  detail\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I never noticed the door handles before, but they were beautiful.
