We’re feeling a little bit Quilty this week at Liberty. Why you may well ask? Well, patchwork is having a moment right now thanks to an extraordinary new V&A  exhibition which opens this week . We are paying homage to the humble and the not-so-humble quilt in store with some beautiful and treasured examples draping our atriums. Work ranging from textile artists Katherine May (who has also created a Liberty charity patchwork quilt), Amanda Fatherazi (who you may know as one of our Best of British finds and Louise Gardiner (who is creating some very exotic quilts for our windows!) Come in store to indulge in patchwork heaven. We’ve even produced a collection of limited edition patchwork fabrics in association with the V&A to celebrate. Keep your eye on our windows unveiling soon and come back to the blog for interviews with our star quilters. Ya’ll come back now!

  1. Having just started to sew (taught myself during our 50+ inch snow storm in Feb), I am madly jealous of these fabrics, and the fact that I am too far away to see them!

  2. Interesting windows for quilty pleasures – some much better than others! End window on right hand side front store -is an inspiration. Red perspex block on the right side of the quilt obsscures the whole corner of the piece. Could it be moved slightly to the right?
    Wonderful to walk round your lovely store as usual and get up to date with current trends.
