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 12 months worth of boxes with the fabric, embroidery threads and instructions to make your beautiful blocks which build to make your heirloom quilt.

With easy to follow instructions to guide you, at the end of 12 months you will have made a beautiful double (queen) sized Liberty quilt.

Unique Design

“I loved designing the embroideries featuring British wildflowers and insects. Nature is close to my heart and I really enjoyed designing a quilt that combines my love of nature with sewing.” Alice.

testimonial from a previous Quilt BOM 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.

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 times of the year is Quilt BOM design – I simply adore getting lost in both design and Liberty fabric choosing. I love the fact that these Quilt BOM boxes will be sent out across the globe – sharing that quilty Liberty love worldwide. Alice xoxo
