Let's sew together!

our Fabulous block of the month club for 2024

Alice’s Country Diary

The Alice’s Country Diary Quilt combines the wonderful technique of English Paper Piecing (EPP) with beautiful hand embroidery and appliqué. 

Our Block of the Month (BOM) club makes sewing easy, simple and fun – each month we’ll send you a box with the fabric, embroidery threads and instructions to make your beautiful blocks which build to make your heirloom quilt towards the end of the year.

With easy to follow instructions to guide you, at the end of 12 months you will have made a beautiful double (queen) sized Liberty quilt.

About the Quilt

“I love wildflowers and thought I knew a fair few until I started walking more during lockdown and really taking notice of the plants in the hedgerows and woodlands of my surrounding countryside.  This quilt was inspired by those lovely walks. Alice xoxo

testimonial from a previous Quilt BOM customer

I received my beautiful quilt kit here in the USA very quickly. I love, love, love the way the fabrics and instructions are packaged. The boxes are beautiful and perfect for storing my finished blocks in. The instructions are so well written, very detailed with colour photos to ensure I’m using the correct fabric in each step. And the fabric! I’ve been drooling over Liberty fabrics for a long time. I’m so glad I decided to make the investment in what will surely be my favourite quilt.

Hello, I'm Alice

I’ve always loved playing with fabrics, finding particular joy in combining colours. Finding a snippet of Liberty amongst my grandmother’s quilting stash of worn-out dresses and vintage fabrics was always a highlight and, from there, my passion for Liberty fabrics grew.

I’ve been running my business for over 10 years and love spending time designing sewing patterns and kits. Many of my kits are stocked in the iconic Liberty of London store which is always so exciting when I visit. One of my favourite times of the year is Quilt BOM design – I simply adore getting lost in both design and Liberty fabric choosing. I love the fact that these Quilt BOM boxes will be sent out across the globe – sharing that quilty Liberty love worldwide. Alice xoxo
