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.

Saturday, July 25, 2009 Tobin/Progress vintage Tree of Life Quilt Kit - telling the difference between a true vintage kit and the currently manufactured modern kit Here's how: Enlarge both pictures above to read the descriptive material on the package - the one on the left is the vintage Progress/Tobin Tree of Life Quilt Kit which I have for sale - this quilt kit is 100% cotton and has been out of print for thirty years or more. The picture on the right is of a technically vintage but still in production quilt kit which superceded the 100% cotton one and is made of a blend of 50/50% polyester/cotton. This quilt kit, though technically vintage is less desirable among collectors than the earlier, out of print version. Hope that clarifies matters for you - just a note> I am too careful of my hard earned reputation to ever sell a poly/cotton blend quilt kit, so rest assured you will get the very best of vintage quilt kits through me.
