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.

QUILT PROJECT KITS




As I prepare to launch my new website http:// www.simplequiltmaking.com, I've been thinking about quilt project kits. Like all passionate quiltmakers, I have a fabric stash so large that 3 full lifetimes wouldn't see me deplete it all! lol.
It's time to share some of this wonderful quilt shop quality stash and what better way than using it to introduce newer quiltmakers to http://www.simplequiltmaking.com ? I have lovely prints and solids (100% cotton of course!) in just about all colours of the rainbow, although I must admit I haven't collected heavily in the "brights" and cutesy departments. No orange, no lime green (called by some "the new neutral") and no poodles taking a beauty bath or dancing in ballet skirts. Just lots of lovely classic prints and repro fabrics from the 1800's and the 1930's. I also have some pretty calicos of 1970's 1980's vintage and lots of thimbleberries.
I would like to assess whether there is any interest in my providing this sort of service - the kits will contain pre-cut and seam line marked fabric sufficient to successfully complete the quilt project outlined in the included instructional leaflet, and will also include suggestions for backing and type and size of quilt batt, optionally, these materials can be included at additional cost. In addition, you can feel free to contact me for clarification if any problems come up that you need help with while you are working on your project.
Any interest? Let's talk, and we'll see if I can supply you. mailto:janet@novascotiaquilts.com
