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.

Sunday, December 09, 2007 DOUBLESTENCIL AMERICAN HERITAGE FLORAL APPLIQUE QUILT KIT Another wonderful find!! I've been really lucky lately. This one is a rare queen sized kit, 88x114 in excellent condition. In addition I also have the kit for the wallhanging shown above the bed in the picture. The small quilt is 40x40 so it can also be used as a crib quilt. Again, I would love to make up one or both of these kits for you - the quilts will be entirely hand appliqued and hand quilted - guaranteed to become a family treasure. In addition to this blog on my quilt studio website, I blog at http://www.quiltingwithjanet.blogspot.com and will be posting a picture there this evening of my most recent completed commission - an art quilt inspired by a painting of geese by Canadian First Nations artist Benjamin Chee Chee.
