Wakefield Inn

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.

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.
