This new collection from the famous Liberty store in London, renowned internationally for their top quality fabrics, was absolutely irresistable to me - it depicts so many of the flowers and landscapes that surround our home in Scotland, from raspberries* to heather, rhodedendrons to foxgloves, blueberies to blackberries. Ideal for patchwork, quilting, and dressmaking projects, this range would make a lovely coordinates for some of the softer shades of my sashiko panels, such as 'Spring', and 'Summer' from the 2020 panel range.
This listing is for 'Sweet Blackberries', the print in the first photo.
It is a bit of a joke that most UK couriers think that our village is 'Highlands', even though we are only half an hour from Perth and Dundee, and slightly over an hour to Edinburgh airport! But we can be in the Highlands in under 10 miles. *We are in the Vale of Strathmore, famous for raspberry and strawberry growing, and we live in a cottage not unlike some of those featured in these prints.

362A 'Postcard from the Highlands' by Liberty - by the fat quarter up
Liberty writes -
Join us as we journey northwards from our London studio to explore the breathtaking beauty and splendour of the Scottish Highlands. Renowned for its natural wonders and unrivaled tranquility, this region in Northern Scotland will captivate you with awe-inspiring mountains and scenic coastlines, diverse plant life, vast lochs, and cascading rivers. Postcard-perfect moments await in the Highlands, where every adventure is a storyworth telling. Immerse yourself in the beautiful mountainscape, adorned with a purple veil of heather and vibrant blooms of rhododendrons. Savor the taste of freshly foraged wild berries and admire the foxgloves, irises, thistles, marsh orchids, and sea pinks speckling the hillsides and coastlines
with their colourful presence. Recall the breathtaking vistas and iconic landmarks discovered on our journey - there will be so much to write homeabout! The collection is traditionally screen printed on to Lasenby cotton, a base specifically developed for quilting and craft projects.
