Alice's Country Diary Quilt

Let's sew together!

Alice’s Country Diary

The Alice’s Country Diary Quilt combines the wonderful technique of English Paper Piecing (EPP) with beautiful hand embroidery and appliqué. 

This quilt was originally a Block of the Month (BOM) club.  Each block makes sewing easy, simple and fun – you will receive all of the Liberty Tana Lawn fabric, embroidery threads, background fabric and instructions to make your beautiful blocks which build to make your heirloom quilt.

With easy to follow instructions to guide you, making this quilt will mean you have a beautiful double (queen) sized Liberty quilt when you have completed it.

About the Quilt

“I love wildflowers and thought I knew quite a lot of them until I started walking more, several years ago. I began to really take notice of the plants in the hedgerows and woodlands of my surrounding countryside.  This quilt was inspired by those lovely walks. Alice xoxo

testimonial from a previous customer

I received my beautiful quilt kit here in the USA very quickly. I love, love, love the way the fabrics and instructions are packaged. The boxes are beautiful and perfect for storing my finished blocks in. The instructions are so well written, very detailed with colour photos to ensure I’m using the correct fabric in each step. And the fabric! I’ve been drooling over Liberty fabrics for a long time. I’m so glad I decided to make the investment in what will surely be my favourite quilt. LAURIE, USA

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
