We are delighted to announce the launch of our Summer Edit. Alice says “The 2013 Flower Show is one of my favourite Liberty collections ever. It has some of the greatest Liberty seasonal prints of all time. It was a gorgeous collection of beauty and wonder and so I wanted to re-print some of the fabrics from this collection. I’ve chosen some colours that are hard to come by – purples and greens are especially hard to find in Liberty collections. Many of the fabrics chosen for my Summer Edit remind me of beautiful and vibrant English summer gardens.”

Hello, I'm Alice
I’ve always loved playing with fabrics, finding particular joy in combining colours. Finding a snippet of Liberty amongst my grandmother’s quilting stash of worn-out dresses and vintage fabrics was always a highlight and, from there, my passion for Liberty fabrics grew.
I’ve been running my business for over 10 years and love spending time designing sewing patterns and kits. Many of my kits are stocked in the iconic Liberty of London store which is always so exciting when I visit. One of my favourite things to do is to design Liberty quilts – I simply adore getting lost in both design and Liberty fabric choosing. I love the fact that my quilts are being made across the globe – sharing that quilty Liberty love. Alice xoxo
