I am from Central Valley, CA. My DH surprised me, and took me to Grants Pass for Mother's Day. My daughter that lives in Portland, Oregon met us there. I went to Plaza Sewing and Quilting Center on 311 SE 6th St, Grants Pass. They were wonderful and helpful. They have beautiful fabric too. They have a brochure of all the Quilting Shops in Oregon. Hope this will be a great beginning for you.
