I love fabric - that is no secret - and I am the first to admit that my fabric stash is considerable. It consists mainly of quilting cotton plus a (more sensible) quantity of home decorator weight fabric, but it also also includes a very nice collection of luxurious Liberty of London Tana Lawn fabric. My Liberty fabric collection is stored separately and not immediately in sight. What tends to happen is that I gravitate towards the fabrics that are right there in front of me and therefore Liberty fabric sadly comes into play less often. But not so this week!
All the blues! I have taken inspiration for the color palette from the weather; the intermittent blue skies and ominous dark clouds. Spring in Melbourne this year so far has been very wet. I don't recall the last time we've had so much rain. For the first time in many years I own an umbrella, and I have had to actually use it! Liberty do such a range of wonderful blue hues, from the darkest royal blue, to cobalt blue, lavender blue, sky blue, and stunning turquoise ~ I couldn't resist but mix them all together.
