QUILT SHOW – QUILTS AT THE HARBOUR 10
September 15th, 2008
Attached are two documents that give all the particulars of our annual quilt show – Quilts at the harbour 10. 
It’s hard to believe that this is out 10th year holding this show! We’re looking forward to seeing all our old friends and making lots of new ones, too.
Remember, all freewill offerings and 15% of the sale price of all merchandise and quilts will go to help sustain this lovely small rural church!
See you there!
QUILT SHOW AND SALE – waiting!
September 23rd, 2007
Well, we’ve done it – Grace and I and our helpers on the bake table and refreshments beat have done all that can be done to make our 9th Annual Quilts at the Harbour Show and Sale a success. We now sit on the edge of a vacuum, not knowing and not being able to control whether it will be a success or not – we should be used to this helpless feeling – been there and done that 8 previous times and each time has been a success so that should tell us something – it doesn’t! We go through the same angst year after year (smile). We have some new exhibitors this year and wish you could come and see.
For some reason the map of Hall’s Harbour won’t upload this morning, so if you need it to find the quilt show, scroll all the way down the page through the older posts and you will find it.
The quilt show and sale takes place Saturday September 29, 2007 from 10 until 5PM and Sunday September 30 from noon until 5PM. You can drop off quilts and other items for display and sale from 6 to 7:30 Friday September 28, 2007 and after 9:30 Saturday morning.
Remember, for those coming to browse or buy, admission is by freewill offering, refreshments are free and there will be a bake table.
All freewill donations, bake table proceeds and 15% of the sales goes to benefit the church – last year over $600 was raised.
Come out and enjoy a fall day in the country in a lovely small heritage church, among friendly welcoming people.
NEWS! Quilts at the Harbour has a dedicated website!
September 8th, 2007
I’m pleased to tell you that our annual quilt show and sale in Hall’s Harbour, Nova Scotia now has a dedicated and permanent website thanks to my daughter’s generosity in doing the “techie” stuff. It will be a community service site and to cover the costs of domain name and hosting will carry google adsense ads.
Check out http://quiltsattheharbour.com/ for news leading up to the event this year, and afterwards for lots of pictures of the show itself – I will make sure to bring along my digital as will friends and other participants and hope to make it feel like you are there.
The picture above is of a vintage 1920’s or 30’s hooked rug which was probably hooked on a Garrett’s printed burlap – these were sold throughout Canada via Eaton’s catalogue and also by mail order through Garret’s offices in New Glasgow, Halifax and Boston. Spruce Top Rugs in Mahone Bay have copies of the definitive work on Garrett Rugs, showing all the variations and styles which were offered.
A firm in New Glasgow has purchased all the old patterns which were warehoused there for many years – they are now re-publishing the patterns.
http://www.ragstorugs.com/ is where you can look at these old patterns.
All for now, folks. Please contact me either through comments or email me at: mailto:janet@novascotiaquilts.com if you need further information.
In addition, there will be several other vintage hooked rugs for sale in addition to quilts, and quilty things.
