You MUST go to Mardens in Sanford Maine. Its kind of a junk store with a large fabric section with fantastic prices. I believe that not all Mardens carry fabric but I know that Sanford Maine does. Its exit 19 off of I-95 and then about 20 minutes down the road on the left. You will not be disappointed.

I love the one in Demariscotta, a little town not too far from Boothbay Harbor off of 295. Cute little town with a few shops and restaurants. On your way in, there is another town with a shop that has wooden things made by prisoners and another quilt shop is there on the left just before the bridge.
Where are you headed to in Maine? It's a big state. We are leaving in two weeks to head for northern Maine/Canada for 5 weeks. Are you RVing?

The Mardens stores in Lewiston and also Waterville also carry wonderful fabrics. Another great shop in Madison is The Fabric Garden, think that's the name. It is right on the main road from Skowhegan, ME to Madison and has a wonderful assortment and wonderful staff.
There are several other shops right on the coast and you get to explore the coast of Maine as an added bargain. Bar Harbor, which is home to Acadia National Park, also has a lovely quilt shop as well as tons of other shops to explore.

Once again wishful thinking gone astray. I am assuming by the directions you are talking Auburn, MA. Didn't know there was one. I am from Maine so obviously was hoping you were talking about Auburn, ME. Oh woe is me. Will have to put that in my book. Who knows, lol. Thank you for the response.
