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.

Tuesday, August 11, 2009 Bucilla King/Queen Vintage Cross Stitch Kit Just two more for today as my patience is about exhausted in dealing with Blogger's various current glitches. Uploading pictures has been slow and chancy to say the least!  Above is the vintage Bucilla cross stitch quilt kit "Jacobean Garden" which as you can see is a version of the Tree of Life pattern brought to the western world with the first shipments of Indiennes prints out of India in the early 17th century. It is derived from the palampores so very popular at that time as bedcoverings. It is a very lovely kit - the colours are soft and vibrant.This kit(a king/queen) is a rare one and I only ever saw this one that I promptly acquired. No thread kit for this one but colours and quantities are listed. Price $225 USD + shipping Now I'm having problems getting this post to format in the way I prefer, so please bear with me as I finish up here..... Below is a Bucilla Vintage Cross Stitch quilt kit that is derived from traditional 19th century quilts. It is a queen sized kit and we see it shown in one colour only - which would work up quickly. It might though, make more of an impact using the strong colours so popular in both Baltimore Album quilts and the red, green and ochre quilts made in the eastern seaboard and spread westward with settlement - again your choice as there is no thread kit with it. PRICE: $185 + shipping  Labels: bucilla king/queen vintage cross stitch quilt kit - jacobean garden or tree of life 10:52 AM
