1. Quilty Pleasures- The season of quilts at Liberty extends through the store with a selection of amazing examples draped from our atriums with Katherine May’s Barbie and Action man quilts and her Liberty Charity quilt amongst others all ready to peruse from today (18th March) until 12th April.
2. Quilty Pleasure windows- Quilts at Liberty are not as you know them. We’ve comissioned textile artists Amanda Fatherazi (Of Best of British fame) and Lou Gardiner to turn the humble quilt into an exciting portal for the voyeur. Come gaze through our windows on Great Marlborough Street from today and all will be revealed!

Talk will be hosted in store and will be £20 pounds per person and includes a glass of prosecco and savoury snacks. On 8th April from 18.00-20.00pm. Contact customer services on londonstorecustomerservices@liberty.co.uk for more details and to book.

Interesting charity quilt. It looks remarkably like one of my designs – “99 Treasures”! Visit http://www.susanbriscoe.co.uk/patterns.htm to see what I mean.
