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 !
