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.

One-of-a-Kind Handstitched Quilt





Presenting Janet's Indigo Baskets! This is a small quilt that would look great as a wallhanging, a baby's crib quilt, a tabletopper or just thrown over a chair. It is 40 inches square.
Celebrating summer fun days with patriotic colours suitable for 4th of July or anytime you want a festive touch, it is made of fine 19th century reproduction fabrics, carefully pieced and appliqued by hand and covered in tiny precise handquilting stitches.
You will not see this design and particular choice of colours everywhere you turn since the choices are entirely my own, and my designs are not mass marketed. The back is of unbleached muslin with a 4 inch regulation hanging sleeve and personalised label. Giving the quilt's provenance, the label will bear your name as the commissioning client. The only place where machine stitching has been used is on the binding, which is machine sewn for strength and then turned over to the back and hemmed by hand. The machine stitching is invisible.

My price, which includes shipping to your door, is $525 USD payable by cheque or Paypal. Contact me for further details or with any questions you might have.
