    Kathie, Nova Scotia is on my bucket list!! DH & I would have visited last year while in Maine but no passports. This year we will have passports but not enough time. I think this will be my 4th visit to the Great State of Maine. We love it & have thought of moving, but family keeps us here.
    Thanks everyone, I am really going to try to get to several of these & definitely Marden's. Fabric is a great souvenir for my mom! I will plot out these quilt shops & take a list with me & then plot out our 'potential' time frame in regard to driving. DH will let me stop for some, but not all! I would spend all of our vacation money if I did!!
    Appreciate all of the feedback. Thank you!

    I am sure you would love Nova Scotia if you love Maine. There is so much to see and do and the 2 coast lines (Atlantic Ocean and Bay of Fundy) offer very different experiences. A must see on any NS trip, is the Highlands of Cape Breton Island - truly beautiful ! Cape Breton and it's people are a whole experience unto itself. Come ! Enjoy !

    We just took a trip along the coast all the way to Lubec. It's so beautiful there. There's a quilt shop called Fabricate inBar Harbor that's nice. It's in a circular building that used to be a bank. The staff was very helpful.

    My grandparents had a house in Lincolnville Beach right on Route 1, which is now a dentists' office. I have loved Maine since childhood and finally got my husband there last month after talking about Maine every time we have planned a vacation in the last 32 years! We were in Bar Harbor, and saw that quilt shop you are talking about. Didn't have a chance to stop in, unfortunately, but we're planning on going back next summer and I'll be going in for sure then.

    OMG - the seafood at Stewman's restaurant in Bar Harbor!! We'd eat lunch there and skip dinner! Delicious....

    At the very end of your trip is a shop on the Calaghan Rd. in Houlton and I think the name is I'd Rather Be Quilting.

    Yes, On Board Fabrics in Edgecomb, Alewives in Damariscotta and Mainely Sewing (Nobleboro) are all within 30 minutes of each other and like all quilt shops, each have a personality of their own and worth visiting. I am fortunate enough to live in this area and frequent each of them and their staff is helpful. I have also enjoyed some of their classes.

    Enjoy our beautiful state. ‎
