All the gardens in Portland are gorgeous. I keep taking photos of flowers!<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63189\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63189\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240703_120305_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-63189\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240703_120305_wm-sm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Pioneer Quilts Halloween room\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240703_120305_wm-sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240703_120305_wm-sm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/20240703_120305_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63189\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pioneer Quilts Halloween room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I really loved the Halloween fabrics, but didn&#8217;t buy any.
