It’s no secret that I LOVE sewing with scraps. I’m also partial to a spot of Liberty fabric (who isn’t ?!). So my bloggy friend Jo & I put our heads together and came up with a challenge of sorts for 2012….
Welcome to the…
Over the course of 2012 I’ll be challenged by Jo with little packages of scrappy Liberty love from her shop, ‘The Organic Stitch Co.’ – have you visited before? it’s a little slice of Liberty heaven & Jo is a tip top shop keeper :) You won’t be disappointed I promise!
As well as offering yardage, fat quarters & fat eighths, Jo also has yummy charm packs, build your own bundles, bias binding, buttons & more with occasional vintage treasures sprinkled throughout. And let’s not forget she has scrap packs too! Hurrah! If Liberty is your thing then off you hop & check it out!
I’ll be turning my Liberty Scrap Packs into a scrappy project which will be accompanied with a tutorial so you can play along too if you like :)
There’s no set rules, just break out your scraps (Liberty or otherwise!) & let’s make stuff! Yay!
There’s no pressure to make all the projects in the challenge - it’s more of a pop in & out as you fancy kind of a challenge ;) it’s all very cruise-y around here!
Wanna play? Check back here tomorrow for our first project of the challenge! woot!

Sounds lovely Nova. Have bought from Jo before and was very happy :-). I’m hoping to make a few of your projects, sounds much more achievable than a massive quilt at the moment! X
Looking forward to seeing what you creat :o)
This sounds wonderful. I have a collection of blue Liberty prints that I bought when I lived in Londaon back in…2000! I love looking at them in my stash but have been hard pressed to cut them up. Maybe this is my incentive along with buying a few more from Jo!
Great idea xx
Hurrah! I am SO excited to see what you make with the scraps. I am already plotting next month’s bundle.
So I have adored liberty fabric from long before I ever quilted, and so it is not really your fault that I have ordered a great bunch of them from your lovely friend. I look forward to seeing what you make.
Hi Nova,
I am very excited about this project.I too have an odd relationship with Liberty. I have a small collection that I love to look at but am too scared to cut. I wrote about it here:

I have just bought some scraps from Jo and hoping these and your projects will help me conquer this phobia I have of cutting something so beautiful!
the little bunting is soooo cute and i would LOVE to make one up, however for some reason i cannot download the instructions. would you mind emailing me the instructions – if this isn’t too much to do. ** thank you **
have a great day!
keep making all of those wonderful things that you do.
