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.

Friday, October 10, 2008 I have a remarkable selection of fine vintage linens, unique handknits; classic Nova Scotian Folk Art by such masters as Leo Naugler, Jean Marc Poirier and Donald Armstrong; and some very collectible vintage Suttles and Seawinds handstitched fashionwear. Of course, my main orientation is one of a kind completely handstitched quilts made in all sizes. I will be open from 10 until dark Saturday, Sunday and Monday and would love to welcome you! Check back after Thanksgiving for details on my special Christmas Open House schedule starting soon - hot mulled cider and cookies, seasonal decorations and music, and many specially priced items! I have been getting many requests lately for information on my vintage quilt kits: Paragon, Tobin/Progress, Bucilla and Doublestencil and have decided to inventory, price and describe these items on this blog so that interested shoppers can have this info at their fingertips. Here are several Paragon cross stitch kits for starters - will try to inventory at least three a week and mark as sold ALL items previously listed on the blog as well! That should keep me out of mischief!   SOLD!Above is a king sized Paragon kit #01175, and a thread kit suitable and ample for working the design. This is one of the rarer kits.  Above is the Paragon Baltimore Brides kit in double bed size(90x103). I am working a single bed size of this pattern right now and the colours are impressive as it works up! There is no thread kit and in all my years of collecting I haven't seen one for sale, but suggestions for colour and quantity are provided in two colourways. Price: $125 USD  Above is a spectacular Paragon kit called American Heritage - jacobean tree of life design. It has been started and comes complete with an ample supply of luscious coloured thread to finish. The coloured photo sheet is there, but somewhere the stitch chart went walkies but I'm sure since it is started there are enough clues to finish it correctly. Size: 82x97. Price: $170 USD for the complete kit including thread.  Have a great weekend and get out and see the harvest and autumn colours - spectacular!!!
