Liberty Quilting Collection Arabella Tapestry C

Inspired by a 1958 Jacobean style print from the Liberty archive, this diverse forest scene has been reimagined into a brand-new layout. Arabella Tapestry resonates with woven motifs or needlepoint techniques, yet seamlessly melds craftsmanship with a contemporary twist.

The Liberty Tree of Life collection invites you to discover a world where wisdom, prosperity, balance, and growth coincide. Rooted in the captivating aesthetics of Indian and Jacobean palampore textiles, the tree of life-inspired collection for quilting pays homage to Liberty’s longstanding heritage of voyage and discovery.

Introduced to British shoppers by Arthur Liberty following his journey from India in the late 1800s, this style of design often featured intricate branches with stylised blooms, ornamental leaves, and decorative fruits. Igniting a lasting fascination with the British public, tree of life designs invited Liberty’s clientele on a majestic botanical journey.

From young sapling oaks and rustling leaves in woodland glades, to cascading branches adorned with fruit and blossoms, this collection is an ode to Liberty’s enduring admiration for these designs. Even the carved wooden animals that have been watching over the Liberty store atrium since 1924 make an appearance, gracefully perched on winding branches or venturing through the landscape.

The collection is traditionally screen printed on to Lasenby cotton, a base specifically developed for quilting and craft projects.
