Sarah Moore that is!
Early start yesterday ~ train to catch.
Once in London I route marched from Charing Cross to Liberty in record time, on a mission to capture some morning shots of Nicky Tibbles, Wild at Heart flowers.
There, at the main entrance on Great Marlborough Street. they shine against the black tudor timber.
Just enough time for a twirl around inside, so many lovely things in the Stationery Department at the moment, aaarrrghhhhh!
Yes I did!
Ayway, enough!
The real reason for my trip was to join Sarah Moore for her masterclass at the Liberty Sewing School. You may be thinking, Sarah Moore? sounds familiar, and you'd be right!
Country Living magazine have a new "simple makes" series featuring Sarah's lovely projects.
and she is also the author of
...so a glorious day ensued.
I do so admire generosity and Sarah has it in spades.
Vintage wallpapers, pretty buttons, bindings, antique velvet, welsh wool blankets spilled forth from baskets and crates and we could help ourselves!
First up, a patchwork noticeboard ~ Oh my pie all those gorgeous hexagons, Sarah was so encouraging and we all made really pretty boards. I was just so excited to be allowed free access to Sarah's stash of goodies. After lunch a strawberry pin-cushion made from a vintage velvet curtain, corsages made from love worn blankets and antique fabrics....
My corsage turned into a rosette....couldn't resist the blanket fringe!
Happy weekend to you all, can't wait to hear about what you are making in readiness for the Jolly Season!
Sarah

ReplyDeleteThat sounds a wonderful day out. I love Liberty my Mum used to take me there for tea and cakes when I was a child. What a wonderful place to do a master class. I have been enjoying Sarah's articles in Country Living too. You made such lovely things, I especially love that strawberry pin cushion!

What a fun day that looks to have been ... I'm quite green. It's an age since I've travelled to London, it's such a very long way from North Wales!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day.
ReplyDeleteI'm always loitering by the flowers outside Liberty. Always so inspirational, and I haven't been arrested for stalking yet!
Hope you have a lovely week,

What a coincidence, I was just looking through Sarah's book this morning for some inspiration!

ReplyDeletexx
Why - THE very magazine! gasp! =D
ReplyDeleteand, oh my stars! You lucky duck and squeakity squeak! (er, quackity quack!)
What a FUN day you must have had. A definite wowzer! ...as if the flowers and fabrics weren't enough to make your trip worthwhile.
In August I had a bunch of wonderfully practical ideas for Christmas gifts to make. They were really worthwhile gifts and easy-peasy. I mean, I had a BUNCH of ideas. I'd thought of the perfect thing to get my Tom, too. sigh and weep. After all these years, you'd think I'd, at least, write it down. =/
