Welcome to the website of Hall's Harbour Handcrafts, located close to the ruggedly beautiful Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, on Canada's East coast. 

My quilt studio is in my 1820's heritage home, surrounded by trees and wild gardens.  Enjoy the peace and serenity which inspires my work.  Visit the nearby fishing village of Hall's Harbour where you can observe the action of the world's highest tides.  Visit artists' studios, hunt for antiques and sample seafood and lobster.  If you wish to stay a while, there are several bed and breakfasts in the village and lots of other things to do and see nearby.

If you cannot visit my studio in person, rest assured that my custom quilts are made in the traditional way - entirely by hand every step of the way.  They are made of the finest available 100% cotton materials in a smoke-free home, and are truly one-of-a-kind.

Nova Scotia Folk Art Gull


Pictured is a wonderful polychromed carved wooden seagull by Neil Levy of Blandford, Nova Scotia. Carved in 1997, this fellow has been inspiring my quilting for several months now and every time I pass him I simply can't resist running my hand over his smoothly curving body. He stands on a small piece of stained and varnished pine and his feet are a work of art in themselves.
This guy is extremely well-behaved and hasn't yet forgotten his manners as the wheeling seagulls down at the harbour are prone to do!
He's ready to fly from my home to yours!
