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.

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 Progress/Tobin Tree of Life Vintage Quilt Kit   I have had an enquiry regarding the Progress/Tobin Tree of Life vintage quilt kit I currently have in stock. This is one of the earlier kits probably dating to around or before the mid 1970's. Since the picture used on the package is in black and white, this kit may be as early as the 1950's but I cannot state this as fact. The finished dimensions will be 79x97 inches and as far as I can see and feel without opening this sealed kit, the binding is there along with all the fabrics to be used. Fabrics are all 100% cotton. This kit usually came with some embroidery thread to embroider fine details and I have no reason to suspect the threads are not there, but if not, they can easily be replaced at any needlecraft store. When I looked at my previous post for this lovely vintage kit, I discovered that as a result of a computer crash where I lost the original pictures, the pictures on the post had become corrupted. This new set of pictures I took this evening fixes that. SOLD NOV 18/09PRICE: $225 USD + $25 postage Labels: Progress/Tobin, tree of life, vintage applique quilt kit 7:01 PM (0) comments

This kit comes pre-quilted and if desired I can give you a tutorial on embroidering with little or no trace on the back. This kit is crib sized.
