Thanks for the reminder! Marden's has a large selection and it is always fun to poke through what is available. They increase inventory by buying out shops who are going out of business, thereby being able to offer fabrics at a considerable discount.
I always enjoy a trip to Maine. It doesn't hurt that there is a Bonanza Steak House just down the road a piece from Marden's (spoken like a true Yankee).

Their website says this in regards to their fabric:
“Fabric: To Marden’s fabric team, fabric is not just material. Fabric represents friendship, community and a way of life. From our fabric buyer and distribution employees right through to the associates in store that help customers one on one, hundreds of times a day, we love fabric!”
We shop for fabric 108” wide to back our quilts in just one solid piece of fabric. Most 108” wide fabric, 100% cotton, at Marden’s sells for $7.99 a yard. Although I just bought one fabric that I just love, 108” wide for just $4.99 a yard! I live in Laconia NH, but it is well worth the trip to shop and stock-up on fabric.

If you are going to make a list for your Mom, I'd provide her with plenty of options/substitutions.

If you are coming to Bar Harbor, there is a Marden's - huge and brand new in Ellsworth which you have to go through to get here.
If you are coming here, PM me. We can meet. There are two other nice quilt shops here also. One you have to pass by as you come and is after Mardens and the other is right in town. She is moving to a new shop in a couple of weeks and it is going to be wonderful.
