I bought my first and second machine here, technically I upgraded my first machine but i love the atmosphere here. The first thing you'll notice isn't the beautiful fabric that you see all over the place, or the incredible ocean of sewing machines (the impressive long arm sewing machines and embroidery machines) it's the incredibly friendly faces and the "happy to explain" aura. I've brought in so many silly, novice and mindless questions and I've never felt belittled. They have an amazing policy that if you buy machine from them you get lessons, how many? I don't know but I've been in twice already and have been told I can come back for more! They are super knowledgeable about everything, I highly recommend this place!

The shop is located in the historic Providence Academy building, which is the perfect setting for quilts. We had a great chat with the owner who is super friendly and knowledgeable.

This stuff is pricey as heck, but it stands the test of time, so maybe it's a good deal in the end. It's nice to support the history and legacy of Oregon.

When people think of the PNW, the history of the Oregon Trail often comes to mind. Pendleton…read morerepresents this time in our history with high quality wool blankets and clothing of beautiful, rustic prints, most in warm colors and patterns of various landscapes. The desert, mountains, forests and coast of the west and PNW are expertly weaved in. The blankets are heirlooms, classic in design and made to last for generations. And they are warm! I have one and even on the coldest night, it keeps me toasty! The wool is soft, not scratchy like some wool items can be. Having one of their coverlets or blankets on your bed will transform your room. Literally. Their clothing, for men, women and children is just as exceptional. The coats, jackets, capes and sweaters are so warm, in addition to being comfortable and beautiful. I'm considering purchasing a cape to keep me warm on my daily walks. The weight is perfect plus it allows for free arm movement. To adorn your home there are rugs in a variety of sizes from small doormats to full area rugs. They make bath towels, throw blankets, and pillows; they have an ever expanding collection of prints which immediately shout Pendleton. So many patterns to choose from! Most are muted colors on a neutral background. Aztec, jacquard, plaid, stripes, heritage, rustic. Some with prairie scenes, the Northern lights, mountains, eagles, elk and other animals and landscapes found in the west. Each is truly a work of art! If you love the prints but want something smaller, they have coffee mugs, water bottles, canteens, baseball caps, wallets, totes, handbags, backpacks, and even masks with their signature prints. They make fantastic gifts that people love to receive. This store, on SE McLoughlin is massive with all the regular premade merchandise plus rows of fabrics. And an area where they sell remnants by the pound and yarn. Of course depending on what you are looking for, it's hit or miss but there was a large selection. While I don't sew, I am considering buying a 2 yard remnant and paying someone to sew a hem so I can use as a throw for my bed. The colors and pattern is so beautiful that I can't stop thinking about it and know it will instantly transform my room. Prices are definitely on the higher side and some specific items actually made me gasp out loud! But you are paying for the brand, legacy and quality. Even though I was in the store for a significant amount of time, I was never acknowledged or greeted. While this usually doesn't bother me because I'm very independent and prefer to browse on my own, but because the store was so large and I was the only one there, having no acknowledgement of my presence felt cold and uninviting. For those interested in the history, Pendleton is an Oregon icon dating all the way back to 1863 when Thomas Lister Kay, an Englishman and weaver by trade, made the cross country journey to the PNW and began working in Oregon's woolen mills. He then opened a wool mill in Salem, OR. The blankets and clothing were not only practical, they became the standards of trade and ceremonial use. In 1909 his descendants took over the defunct Pendleton Wool Mill in Pendleton, OR, and Pendleton remains a private business run by descendants of Thomas Kay to this day. Pretty remarkable. John Bishop, the great-great-grandson of Thomas Kay, is president and CEO; and great-great-grandson Peter Bishop is the Executive VP of Merchandising and Design. Pendleton operates seven facilities and 41 retail stores that sell products throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan, and Korea. The company headquarters are in Portland, Oregon, and the fabrics and blankets are still woven in PNW mills. So while visiting Oregon, bring home a  piece of history that is beautiful and practical! And for those locals like me, having a touch of Oregon history accenting your home is a nice touch.

I then called and spoke to Thea that confirmed she got the order but what i ordered wasn't the loom but an extension of some sort. she told me they sell those separately which is fine but then why didn't she respond to my email and refund me? She said she would refund me but never did and never responded to my emails and when I called again a very rude person said she was just too busy and it would be another week. I had to contact my bank and get them involved. I don't think this is the way to operate a business but just know I will never order from them again and let the buyer beware with their terrible customer service.

Now, I've been to Hobby Lobby in Oregon City a few times, and I must say, I admire how they have so…read moremany superbly awesome things. :) For one thing, they have plenty of things for those who like arts and crafts projects, and also wooden frames and paints for those who admire painting wooden frames with bright colors (such as red, blue, pink, purple and green, to name a few). Also, there's things like glues and glue sticks for scrapbooking and paper projects. :) Plus, there are things like the Jumbo Magnifiers (which are in red and blue); they sure come in handy when you need a backup magnifying glass for a Halloween costume such as a spy or a detective. And there are things which make great gifts for a birthday or Christmas, such as the Gold Metal Adjustable Phone Stand. :) Then, there's neat things like a Talking Mother Goose Plush with glasses, who recites four different nursery rhymes in a calm, soothing voice when you press her wing. :) Finally, I highly recommend Hobby Lobby to anyone who likes arts and crafts, looking for inspiration (or sometimes both), and I give it five stars as well (although ten stars would be even better). :)

Now they have Craft items but they also have lots and lots of decor items... and they include several pieces of a theme so that you have the pillows, wall art, rugs and other items that pull a room together.
