About Us

Kala Murphy opened the store back in 1978.
We're celebrating our 35th Anniversary this year,
and send thanks to everyone who helped bring us to this point.

We believe in offering personalized, friendly service.  
Our staff has over 150 years of sewing experience combined,
 and we are here to help make your project perfect.  

You will find a quilter's haven here, with a little something for everybody.
Completed projects are featured
throughout the store to inspire you.

We strive to be a happy place where people can 
meet and share inspirations, ideas and friendship.

We carry outstanding fabrics,
including lines from these fine makers:

Proud to be a Drop-Off
Point for Project Linus Quilts

Our Aunt Marie opened the Fabric Garden in 1978 with Kala (owner).

Since opening day, much has changed. Each week we continue to add new

fabrics and products.

At last count there are over 9,500 bolts of fabrics to choose from.

We try to have lot of different products, and there's always something new

coming in or happening.

We don't like to be bored - so why should you?

"Our Husband Bench"

Aunt Marie was quite the gardener before she passed. 
She kept the outside of the store blooming like an English garden.

In her honor and memory, we keep The Fabric Garden alive
with cheerful flowers in the spring, summer and fall.  

We are located on Route 201 in Madison, just north of the Skowhegan town line and
minutes away from the Kennebec River (left) and some of the prettiest lakes in the area.

Lake Wesserunsett (right) is just north, a serene and beautiful body of water which offers
public boat access and golden opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming and more.

Come to the Fair!

Just south of us is the Skowhegan State Fair Ground.
This is the oldest continuous agricultural fair in the country!
They also host numerous horse shows, snowmobile races, car events and more.
There's always something happening at the fair!

Hit the links!

About five minutes north you will find the Lakewood Golf Course.
This is an 18-hole, par 72 course cut into the beautiful Maine Woods.
Lakewood offers a challenging and welcoming course, nestled amongst the white pines
with gorgeous mountain views.

Historic Lakewood Theater

Located on the shores of Lake Wesserunsett, Lakewood Theater is America's oldest Summer Theater, and the "Official Theater of the State of Maine". Live theater at it's best - you'll feel like you're stepping back in time. Complete the experience with a lakeside stroll to enjoy the view.
