Quilting with Liberty Fabric
Quilting with Liberty Fabric
Presenting over ZOOM, instructor Jenni Smith is a UK-based pattern designer and author of the book Quilting with Liberty Fabric.
She is the first person ever to have produced a quilting book in collaboration with Liberty London – the iconic British Brand renowned for their beautiful fabrics including Tana Lawn. In her unique lecture, Jenni will be describing how this fascinating book was made.
Liberty as company is 145 years old and Jenni is an Art Historian by trade so each quilt in the book represents a decade in the history of one of the world’s most famous fabric manufacturers. The lecture is a visual feast from Victorian England to the current day, celebrating art and craftsmanship via Arthur Liberty, William Morris and pioneering members of the Liberty Design Studio.
How did the son of a draper build such an incredible empire which draws people back year after year? Hear the fascinating story of the store’s construction and how this sparked some of the practical quilt patterns featured in the book.
