Formerly known as Jen's Crafts and Quilts Scrapbook - this is an online scrapbook of my craft projects! I sign all my quilts with "Handmade with (heart symbol)" and thought it would be an appropriate blog title.

More bassinet quilts make earlier this year, using up stash fabrics and leftovers/scraps, and offcuts of flannel. I was able to get five quilts using up this monster print...

Another 2024 quilt project, made with some orphan jellyroll strips left over from this large jellyroll quilt and rescued from languishing in the drawers.
It measures 27.5" x 32" so is cot-size (or knee-rug/small lap quilt) and I decided to do some simple straight line quilting with my Elna 200 domestic machine.
Some catch-ups from this year - some bassinet quilts were created in the April school holidays after I had a big tidy-up of my fabric stash, and decided to use up a heap of off-cuts/leftovers of flannel by making backings for neonatal unit bassinet quilts, then creating tops for them out of scraps or other leftovers or stash fabrics.
This is Little Friends and measures 18.5" x 22.5"
This large lap quilt is made with the 'Cabin Fever' pattern (by Amanda of Jedi Craft Girl, and Amber of Gigi's Thimble), using a fat quarter pack of 'Bedtime Stories' by Elizabeth Chappell for Art Gallery Fabrics.
The fabric has lovely soft colours and cute garden motifs - my favourite is the little mice on the gold/tan print.
The quilt measures 55"x56" as I made it bigger than the pattern version by using more than five fat quarters and making extra blocks to enlarge the quilt size.
It was completed in October and gifted to my work colleague, Sarah Botting, to mark the occasion of her September wedding to Matt Mclean.
