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! |
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.

Another one is Mainely Quilt Gift shop,Nobleboro- On Board Fabrics,Edgecomb-Alewives Fabrics also in Nobleboro-Quilt Divas,Rockland.There are 40 known quilt shops in the state.We just had our annual quilt show that has brochures with all the quilt shop listed in the state.Sorry you missed that! It was worth the trip.Have a great time here in Me and drive safe

I was able to get to Quilting Divas last summer but did not know about the shop in Edgecomb. We stayed on Mt. desert Island & we were so close!
Sorry that I missed the Quilt Show, I am sure it was wonderful. We always miss the Lobster Festival in Rockland too. Usually we stay inland but last year we did a coastal vacation with the family. Cannot wait to go back! |
I agree Mardens is the best price wise. You will not believe the prices :). Knights is good also. I go to the Mardens in Sanford. On route 1 when you get into Wells you will see turn for route 109 Sanford. Go on 109 about 10 miles. Worth the trip for sure. Also if you have the time, eat at the Maine Diner in Wells. Great food and wonderful service. It has been a Maine tradition for years. Enjoy your vacation.

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

I will be going to Maine at the end of the month. Iowa to Maine which is a 22 hr trip. My son went to collage in Maine. Came back to Iowa for a year and missed it so much he went back. Lobster at 3.99 lb. that's hamburger price!! I will be in Portland for a week so I,m interested,in those shops as well. Car is going out with his boxes but lots of room on the way back for fabric!

Thanks so much everyone for the shop & eatery tips! So appreciate it & oreo12 I don't feel bad now, our drive is only about 15 hours. HA!! Safe travels. My husband gets so excited about eating fresh lobster so cheap, it's funny.
