As a Nova Scotian and long time lover of Downeast Maine I can assure you a wonderful cruise - the weather that time of year is lovely - colours not doing much changing yet but the clear bright light and sparkling sea combined with evergreens, rocks and birch trees is sublime.<br />Don't expect, however, to find anything more than barely adequate in the way of quilt shops in the Halifax area. The best shop on mainland Nova Scotia is located about 25 miles from me in the Annapolis Valley. There is lots to see and do however and there is also a vibrant quilting community among the Mayflower Quilt Guild in Halifax. If you need any contact info - I can be of help. BTW Scott Robson of the Nova Scotia Museum published the definitive book on the history of NS quilts and it is available wherever NS books are sold, and I'm sure at the Museum. You might be able to contact him and arrange a special viewing of some of the museum's holdings as they are usually styored in controlled climate and not on display.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643680000059427128noreply@blogger.com
