Crafting and other indoor hobbies are a wonderful way to get through the cold winters that can sometimes hit Maine. Sure, you can still get outside to enjoy trails on snowshoes and skis and sleds (both kinds!) but sometimes things are so chilly, a few days indoors is mandatory. In those situations, we love things like crafting to get us through the days while still feeling productive. Quilting is a popular one in these parts and we’re always on the look out for shops that provide tons of fabric and other necessities for this fun hobby. This shop offers more than just fabric and you’ll want to stop by!
The Fabric Garden in Madison is one of the best one-stop-shops for all things quilting.
