Well, just like that! I’ve been waiting and waiting for the final steps that were out of my control, but now my second book is available. You can purchase it on Amazon as a paperback magazine or as a Kindle Ebook.

It is also available world wide on Amazon, but I can’t link to each one so just search for Scrap Quilt Diary on Amazon if you’re not in the USA or Canada.
So what’s in this book? Well, it’s a mainly photographic journal of all the scrap quilts I made with my overflowing baskets of scraps. I made 20 quilts and they’re all included in this book. This book is somewhat different than my previous book, A Year of Quilts. My plan is to make one book like that per year. This Scrap Quilt book was kind of an extra that I decided to add in because I thought it would be fun to document this scrap quilt project in book form. It’s a shorter book at only 75 pages, and also lighter on the writing. There are a few simple patterns included.
One of them is a variation on the Scrappy Trip Quilt that makes the blocks into a diamond design.
Another is a simple scrappy basket block.
And my very favorite, which is the instructions on how to make this very English cottage quilt block. I’m so excited about this block because I spent a fair bit of time coming up with the right dimensions and proportions and also a method of putting together that includes my signature ingredients of not being to fussy or tricky to do. I personally think this quilt block is a lot of fun to make.
Each of the 20 quilts in this stack is included in the book, as well as the block dimensions or sizes of squares used. Quite a few are either very basic designs or else were made from leftover blocks that I’m not able to give a pattern for, but are more for inspiration. There are quite a few with instructions though, as I said above.
This book is a very affordable price of $19 USD, and I also made it available as a Kindle Ebook.
I was able to put a sale on my first book as well, so if you haven’t purchased it yet, it’s now $30!
I made the decision to only offer my book on Amazon this time. The main reason is that shipping is by far the most affordable on Amazon for all around the world. Maybe someday there will be another option available, but for now I’m just really happy that I can share my love of quilting with you in book format! I hope you enjoy it, and if you feel like leaving a review on Amazon, it will be much appreciated!
Also, quite a few of the quilts from this book will be available on Etsy in the next couple of weeks. I will ship them with a courier so the Canada Post mail strike won’t be an issue.
I’m so excited about this! I loved your first book. These quilts look beautiful!
I’m so excited to see your new book and glean some new inspiration 😍

Jolene, I ordered your book today. You do lovely work and I appreciate you sharing it.
I am looking forward to receiving your second book! Boy, can’t we use lots of quilts with our Canadian winters. I love to make quilts and share the wealth.
QUILTS = LOVE
Fun fact: I don’t know anyone that quilts. I’m thankful for social media and books like yours.
I would love to purchase it but I am currently boycotting Amazon. Any other options? Thank you. I adore your work.
I’m so excited to get mine next week! Your work is always inspiring! 😊
Mine came today. I just went through it page by page, savoring every picture. I love every one. Your books are among my favorite possessions.
Received your book about a week ago. Can’t wait to start making one! Thanks!
Strangest thing – I ordered your new book for myself as a Christmas present from my husband, but I only just opened it up today. I did receive your complete book and the cover is correct, but the first section is another author’s children’s book, and then your book starts with no pages missing. Whew! I have no idea what happened when Amazon printed this copy. Of course your book is amazing with its beautiful scrappy quilts and photos. It’s the perfect relaxing and inspiring read.
