Quilting Fabric stores around Wakefield Inn

May 26th, 2010 by janelmartin

I love to quilt, sew, knit and currently also getting into braiding rugs.  For me, keeping my hands busy lets me relax and my mind clear of the stress of the day.  To feed the need I travel to various craft and fabric stores to add to my ‘stash’ of fabric and yarn.  For quilting fabric the first place I go to is Marden’s in Sanford, ME.  This place is fantastic, they are a discount clearance store similar to Ocean State Job Lots, and the store in Sanford has fabric as well.  LOTS of fabirc.  RJR, Tumbleberries, Alexander Henry and similar brands of top quality fabric all for $3.99 a yard or less!!  My quilting retreat groups staying with us at the Inn love this place.

Quilting Fabric at Mardens

Isle of Green

This store has the fabric, and the staff to help you find what you need to put together a great selection. Of course at the price, how could you go wrong getting just a little bit more.  You never know what you will get when you go, since what is there today might be gone tomorrow.  The tagline of Mardens’, “Should have bought it, when I saw it, at Mardens” is so true. 

The fabric area is organized by color so it makes choosing the right fabric easier.  I go in to pick up a little fabric, and the next thing I have a cart full.

For all of our guests that enjoy quilting, this is a great trip to make, and only a half hour drive past some lakes and through some pretty countryside.  So next time you plan your trip to the Wakefield Inn for a weekend stay, save a little time to make the trip, I think you will find it worth while.

Wakefield Inn article in New Hampshire ToDo Magazine

May 3rd, 2010 by janelmartin

Hot off the press is the May issue of New Hampshire ToDo, and the Wakefield Innis the featured Inn with a wonderful 3 page article about the Inn, owners and lots of things To Do.  Tim Deal did a great job really bringing across the feel and experience of staying at the Wakefield Inn.  Which for those who have not yet had a chance to check into our comfortable, well appointed guest rooms, the following awaits. Private Baths in each room, library, free WiFi throughout and in the gardens, homemade cookies and fresh fruit, robes, common area for sitting to chat (and the location of the afternoon wine and cheese) and an additional TV room. Oh, did I forget the most important part? 

Breakfast is served

 Yes, we also have our gourmet breakfast of  seasonal fruit, fresh baked scones (a house specialty) or muffins, and something like a zucchini frittata, omelet or wholegrain waffles with fresh berry compote.  We also have locally roasted coffee from Black Bear Coffee in Tuftonboro, NH and a selection of tea from Portsmouth Tea Company. Fruit juice and warm conversation are also available. Breakfast is served between 8am and 9am, and coffee is flowing at about 5:30am for those, like me, who need a little kick start to your day.

If you are allergic to gluten, soy, eggs, dairy or anything else, or have other dietary restrictions please let us know and we will happily prepare you something equally as scrumptious.
