I purchased a couple of Liberty prints several months back that I knew I would want to use for Wallace projects. At the time I thought I would use them right away, but once I had them in my hands, I over thought it and decided to wait to cut into them until he was...
Continuing to take advantage of the burst of energy I’ve had lately, I pulled out the basted quilt that Layla made, and decided she needed it to be finished before her brother arrives. I really didn’t know what to do, so I just went with a criss-cross design and sewed away. Not much thinking, and...
We bought Layla a sewing machine for Christmas (the utterly adorable mint Hello Kitty Janome!). She had been wanting one for some time, and I hadn’t given her free reign on mine because its a lot of machine for a three year old, but she does sit on my lap and help me often. She...
I wanted to break this post up a bit, but the weather here has been rather dreary so I’ve been unable to get good pictures of my projects throughout the week. So today I’m playing catch up. I do hope you won’t mind! First, I must show you the new shower curtain that is gracing...

Welcome to Olivia Jane Handcrafted! I'm Meredith and this is my creative journal. Here you'll find loads of inspiration for a handmade wardrobe, home decor, bags, and quilts. I even have plenty of projects and tutorials to get you started or help you along the way.

I live in Michigan so I usually go for warmth.

I picked up 3 different prints and was going to make thin swaddling blankets with them. But I mainly just use quilting cottons with a thin cotton batting. Ocassionally I will use flannel for the back. But I really haven’t finished enough quilts/blankets to have a solid choice.
gorgeous quilt for a gorgeous babe!
he’s such a sweetie!!
