My quilting friend and I are going to Portland for long weekend. Anyone have suggestions for quilt shops, etc. that we must go to?

I went to Portland last December for a short visit. Didn't get to go to any quilt shops since there was freezing rain and ice pellets (not the best weather for a Southern California girl) but the waterfront area has some lovely stores to browse around in. Wish I was going again in better weather. Enjoy.

Thanks!

wow..you guys are good! you aren't local and you still know all the shops in Maine...snowbirds?
and the weather has been really nice - expecting 70's this weekend..have fun!

I am not sure how far away it is but Keepsake Quilting is up that way. Google it, bet it would be worth the drive.

Worth the drive would be a trip to Lewiston to Marden's you can hit the turnpike and be there in 1/2 hour or so. They have lots of great quilt fabrics for $2.99/yd., last time I was there they had added a big batik section can't remember the price but they are much cheaper than most stores and they are brand name fabrics. Have fun and enjoy! Keepsake Quilting is a couple of hours from Portland.

Keepsake is in New Hampshire, not Maine. You will love Mardens...there is one in Portland; but not sure if they sell fabrics. Worth checking because brand names are only $2.99 or $3.99 a yard, with others going for less. They even have Waverly yardage really cheap.

No the Marden's in Portland doesn't sell fabric, sorry.
