Hall's Harbour Quilts - Handcrafted Quilts, Antique & Vintage Textiles, and Nova Scotia Folk Art in Hall's Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada

Pictured on the left is the front cover of a great quilting book by Carter Houck; it has long been out of print. I have collected several copies of this 1981 Dover first edition. Included are 12 traditional quilting patterns with full sized templates and instructions, including layout sketches. There is an interesting history section and if you have seen others of Ms. Houck's books you know you are in for a treat.

I am offering these collector's items for sale at the price of $22.95 plus postage but cannot guarantee their availability past September 29, at which time I will offer them for sale at our upcoming Quilt Show and Sale - check out another recent posting for info on this show.

I had collected these books to use in a planned quilting retreat and workshop that did not happen for lack of participants - if any of you are still interested contact me soon as once these books are gone, so is the opportunity for the workshop.

Home About My Quilts Antique & Vintage Textiles Links of Interest Contact Information 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.
