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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and HAPPY SNOW DAY


We are having yet another "snow day" - time to stay close to the woodstove, drink tea and quilt - no complaints here! It's not even very cold and there is no wind, just steady light snow. Nothing out on the roads but the snowplows so it is very quiet here.
A couple of blogger friends have asked me to publish some tutorials about quiltmaking on my other blog
http://www.quiltingwithjanet.blogspot.com
so if you would like a tutorial, go on over there and leave a comment to that effect. To make it worth my while to pull some tutorials together I have asked to have at least 7 or 8 people interested.
Best wishes for a happy and peaceful new year to everyone!

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.
