My Mum collects fabric and so do I. Sometimes we swap a bit, but I mostly come off best! The latest carrier bag was full of scraps of Liberty print fabrics, too thin for Mum to incorporate into her quilts, but mouthwateringly wonderful for me to experiment with. Lovely colours. I had a think about them for a while and then these emerged
a mis-matched riot of colour
Don't worry about the wonky stitching - I'm not - I could say that I did it like that on purpose, and I suppose I did and I have some fabric left. Who knows what I may do next?
Thanks Mum!
And here is something else under construction - more soon
How lovely to get such great fabrics! Fab cushions! Lucyx

How lovely, for just one moment I was transported back to 1970 and a dress that I loved, Mum made it for me from a liberty print and I wore it until it fell off me!

Snap ! I've got a few the same.
One of them was subject to a tug of war at a Quilters guild regional day. I gave up but when I went back it was still there so I bought it to finish a Ruby wedding quilt for my parents. That was a loooong time ago.
Its the second row up second from right.
