Sunday we had our monthly meeting at Liberty's. Yes, that shop!
And we had a talk by non other that Sholto http://www.sholtodrumlanrig.com/home.php who is the designer behind the Liberty lifestyle range. We got to see the pics of some of the original prints that inspired the range and how they got adapted. There was some boos from some of the guild when they saw the purple colour way that never made it to production, someone had to make some tough choices!
We also got a sneak peak at some designs from the next collection and also know the theme of the one after that!!!
I also found out that Sholto had designed the V&A cottons for the Quilts exhibition a few years ago. One of my favourite ever prints was in that; the green lattice was the first fabric I bought by the metre.
Like a numpty though I was too interested to take photos so you will have to take my word for it!
I have done a little bit of sewing, I've set up a sewing room on my hotel chair and am doing some EPP. Roll on next week when I go back to class and part time working. Being at home more might mean I get some more done!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous EPP Shevvy! I took some photos at Liberty's so I will post them when I remember to get them off my phone.
Such fun, your guild is the best. Enjoy the EPP.
You get to meet all the most exciting people! Your guild sounds like they really have it all going on. Love the PP you're doing Shevvy. I think I have some of the same fabrics stashed somewhere!
