Hi there! DH & I are planning a trip to Maine. All the way up the coast to Houlton on Route 1.
Any quilt shops that I must stop at? I have stopped at one in Bath years ago & loved it. It was so charming.
thanks!!

We visited Ogunquit ME last summer and I found Knight's Quilt shop right outside of town: 1901 US Rte 1
Cape Neddick, ME. It's a beautiful large house with wonderful fabrics and kits and sewing related gift items. They have a very special collection of toy sewing machines along the tops of all of their fabric shelves. I'd say it's a must-visit.
Enjoy your trip...I love Maine!

Stopped at knights on a quilting trip and it was really nice. There is Mainly Sewing right by the wiscasset bridge, and in Nobleboro on Route one, and quilt Divas in Rockland. If you google quilt shops in Maine you can get directions. Country Creations on Rte 32 in Jefferson.Originally Posted by IQ2
YES!! We found Knights in a quilt shop travel guide, and it's wonderful!
Thanks IQ2! Will be checking it out!

Cottonweeds in Freeport is a must to stop at. The shop is absolutely priceless and the gals that work there
are wonderful. Take the time to check the upstairs classroom out. This shop is one of my favorites in Maine.
Enjoy you trip thru Maine.
Mardens is not a quilt shop per se but a discount store that sells quilt fabric for lower cost. It's almost like Goods Store in E. Earl, PA. There are several locations but I prefer the location just North of Augusta, Maine and the one in Ellsworth, Maine. If you are in Ellsworth there is a shop, Sewing by the Sea, in Trenton, Maine on the road to Bar Harbor, Maine. It's small but has a very nice selection of fabrics.

I agree that Marden's is a great place for fabrics at very reasonable prices. There are many of these stores located only in Maine. There is a large one in Portland and good fabric ones in Sanford, Waterville and Brewer. If you google "Marden's Surplus" you will find Store info and a map of locations. I hope this helps !

Hi:
The Maine shops I go to are: Knights quilt shop, Cape Neddick on Rte 1. There is one in Windham Maine off the beaten path but worth the trip. In Freeport Maine there is Cottonweeds, a must stop. Kathies Quilt Shop is in Sanford Maine off the beaten path but very nice. There is one in Booth Bay Harbor and I have been there only once very nice.
When you get to Maine go to Knights first and she will have a list of all the shops in Maine and where they are. You will like that stop and you can even have a nice lobster roll there. Yummy.
