Pioneer Quilts….PART ONE!

Yesterday I said that I was off to Portland’s Fabric Depot but I seem to have got side tracked… thanks to Synthia and Sally!  Both of these ladies said that I just HAD to go to the Pioneer Quilt Shop..so what’s a quilter to do..but follow her Followers!  And man, am I ever glad I did!!

I now have a NEW Favourite Quilt Shop!!  I’m sure after you see my pictures you will agree…SEW pour yourself another coffee and get comfy!

Ok..this is good!  I always love it when there is a welcoming quilt at the front door…even if it is raining out!P1170850 - Copy

I love all the fun quilt shops in the PDX area. I've never been to Pioneer Quilts though. I'll have to check it out on my next trip. I love Fabric Depot. It's almost to overwhelming. Thanks for sharing!

Be still my heart, lol.
That is a shop, well worth a detour for, everything I love in one place.

I hope you found time to go to the Fabric Depot yet today. I know you are more into the wool stuff but the first time I walked into the Fabric Depot my jaw just dropped. Every fabric company and every beautiful piece of fabric you could ever imagine. I just love that place and get there as often as I can. I will have to go to Primitive quilts one of these days too.

Anna said...

good thing you listened...this is one of my favorite shops!

Michelle said...

Now you see why I thought you should stop at this shop back when you came through Portland...I knew you'd love it!!! It is fun.

Allie said...

Looks like a wonderful place - love those squirrels! Did you pack up the whole store and take it with you? *G*
