Liberty Patchwork Collective Fabric Pack
£0.00
To celebrate 150 years of Liberty, we are sharing fabric packs with you as part of their Patchwork Collective project. Each block will form part of a celebratory quilt to mark their anniversary.
More about the Patchwork Collective:
For 150 years, Liberty’s story has been woven alongside the artistic movement: a voyage of creativity and discovery through past, present and future that has shaped the fabric of our DNA.
Join us to celebrate our 150th anniversary: helping us bring this history to life. We invite you, our network of artisans, makers, designers and visionaries, to collaborate from all corners of the country. The result: the creation of a new piece of art: a supersized patchwork quilt, comprised of hundreds of individual pieces – each created by you.
Destined to be displayed at Liberty in a special installation in May 2025, before living on in the Liberty archive, this collective artwork will tell a new story: the next chapter of Liberty’s history. A physical manifestation of the creativity, community, values and talent that make Liberty, Liberty.
Dust off your sewing machines and help us craft our patchwork living history.
Each kit contains 5 pieces of fabric measuring 45cm x 20cm – these are a mix of Tana Lawn and Lasenby cotton.
Please create your block to the following specifications and leave your block unbacked:
You will need to create a 25×25 cm patchwork square.
You must leave a 1.5cm seam allowance around the edge of your square.
Download Liberty’s free patchwork patterns, or use your own design if it matches the required dimensions.
Get personal – unique embroidery and embellishment is very much encouraged! We’d love for each square to be entirely unique, so don’t be afraid to get creative!
Please DO NOT back your square. This is very important for the structure of the installation, and we may not be able to use your square if you have backed it.
Return your completed block to us. The deadline for participants to return the blocks is 7th February 2025.
