I usually go to Lancaster to get my fix of Liberty gorgeousness from the factory shop next to where the fabric is printed but it is at least an hours drive away from me. Imagine my delight when Chrissie from Hat Therapy told me there was a shop only 15/20 minutes from me which sold it and for a cheaper price too :) I'm going to let the photographs do the talking now!
All of this is destined to be used in the 'Grand Liberty Quilt' but firstly I need to finish the binding on the teddy quilts and then make a start on the girls quilts as they are destined to be Christmas gifts.
As an aside - if I could get more of this and make the fabric 'thicker' using interfacing (providing it worked well) do you think the fabrics would work as chicken pincushions/paperweights? Only some of the designs obviously and more importantly, do you think they would sell?

You now need to tell me where??!!
Who doesn't love Liberty prints! It will be fine if you use an iron on vilene to stiffen it slightly. Looking forward to seeing the finished results.
Drool! I think Liberty chickens would look great. I wish I lived near you...
Crazy jealous. I am in love with two of those prints.
Wow - swirly - they are FABULOUS!!! I can just picture the whole new range of Liberty Chickens clucking away to themselves!!
oooooooooooooh how lovely
Liberty chickens would defo work! I like the 2nd from the bottom fabrics best :)
Is Liberty printed in Lancaster? I'm always idly searching for information on its sourcing (while being too lazy to actually phone Liberty and ask, of course). Lovely prints, and I'm sure they\ll make cool chickens!
Fab swirly! Please could you tell me where these shops are? I'd love to visit. I live near you :-)
Wierd thing happened with my log in then, its Lou from @Lou La La (FB page). I am stocked in Handiworks and some other of your stockists. I would like to make something Liberty for my mother in law but dont fancy a trip to London... although i do love London!!
