The place was very nice and had lots of fabric you could choose from that was not part of the fabric swap. It was still a great event to Attend. I got to see a local fabric store. Also had fun going through fabric and meeting people who love to sew. I suggest to go check out the Portland fashion supply store if you're interested in fabric in the Portland area that is not from Hobby Lobby or JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores also, I would keep an eye out on Facebook and other social media to see if they have another fabric swap going on.

Set in the former brick school building on Evergreen Blvd. at west end of Officer's Row (built by Mother Joseph in the 1800s). Across the street and over one from the new downtown Ft. Vancouver Regional Library. This place is fragrance-free, dog-free, quiet, and sociable. I appreciate this place. Prices are reasonable. Go elsewhere for bold colors or abstract art.

The quickest way to cheer my wife up is to take her to a quilt shop. That's what we did today, and…read moremy wife left very happy. 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. The shop isn't huge but has a unique aesthetic feel, and a good variety within that. She offers quilting and crafting classes which my wife is planning to sign up for. We recommend checking it out.

Luxurious even exquisite bed linens for sale at this brick and mortar storefront. Other luxury…read moregoods for bedroom and bath too, like candles, lotions, embroidered linen hand towels and duvets with fills from down to silk to down substitutes and personal items like Four Seasons worthy cotton robes. The shop ambiance is warm and so is the service from knowledgeable advisory sales staff. Prices make it so I can't afford to shop here often. HIGH PRICE AND QUALITY A king size bed cover of the same brand and pattern as on a bed in my home clocks in here at almost $900. I paid one third that price at a national e-tailer. Cotton high thread count sheets from another luxury brand are also better than double the price I paid through another retailer. Another bed cover that retails here for $500 was had for $150 at an interior design shop close out sale. Which is not to say the retail prices at French Quarter are unfairly high, because they are fairly on point with full retail for these goods at other high end stores, like Horchow or Niemann. But my Champagne tastes need to be kept in line with my prosecco budget by shopping the best buy. Which would not often land me here. Except for times when their fantastic selection of things makes them the source for just what it is I want. FANTASTIC SELECTION French Quarter doesn't manage a big in store inventory but they have scores of samples of options for things like duvet covers or coverlets made up into small kidney pillow sized displays on shelves in the store so you can get an idea of not just color, pattern and weave but the hand of the fabric before ordering an item. (These samples are truly yummy and carry no calories!) Were you planning on purchasing through French Quarter you might even be able to take the samples home to try out the fabric in your own space. At least one brand is owned by French Quarter's owner but others like Peacock Alley, Pinecone Hill, Sferra, Henry Handwork, Abyss and Signoria, to name just a few of the dozens they represent, are available through other sources. On my recent trip in the shop, while on vacation for a month in Portland, they had the most gorgeous persimmon colored cashmere throw on display at the foot of a bed that made me want to go home and redecorate around it. It was a momentary flash of insanity until I learned the price. But fun to imagine while it lasted. WARM AND WONDERFUL SERVICE That the sales people here as so welcoming and unpretentious is a breath of fresh air given the top end products they are selling and the kind of elite clientele that must be able to walk in and purchase there. (As some were doing on the evening I visited.) I can't imagine a better place to shop for the design assistance and selection help you need to pull together the perfect choices to buy from French Quarter if you have the funds to do that. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: On street in this part of the Pearl can be a challenge. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Universally usable access ramp right inside the front door. Store is all on one level.

After months of eyeing a particular throw, I finally decided to pop in and check this shop out. the…read moreKardashia-wanna-be saleslady made sure to stress that this was a European (read: EXPENSIVE) linen shop, then proceeded to ask me if I lived in the neighborhood (another obvious "can you afford to shop here?" question). Granted, I didn't don semiformal attire for the occasion of darkening their doorstep, but I definitely wasn't expecting such...blatant condescension from someone who is supposed to be enticing me to make a purchase and could probably use a sale in this economy. Needless to say, I won't be going back. And unless you enjoy not so subtle condescension from a rather ungainly and awkwardly arrogant salesperson, I recommend going elsewhere.

But I like my couch (and didn't want to spend that much) so I decided I should at least look into getting new cushions first. Called Recovering and learned the material was just seriously compressed and he could fix it. He was right! I wish I'd taken a picture, what I can tell you is that I carried the two cushions into the shop in one trip but when I came back a few days later it took two trips. It's been three months and they still look great. PS: I liked the shop so much I wish I had something that needed to be recovered!
