Happy Independence Day!

God bless America, land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
to the oceans, white with foam.
God bless America, My home, sweet home.

It’s true that freedom isn’t free. But you can buy Liberty –at janicefergusonsews.com for $12 per yard.
In my humble opinion, Liberty of London tanna lawn is the most divine fabric there is. These exquisite cotton lawn fabrics are finely woven, light weight and ultra soft.  The prints are inspired by nature, architecture and heritage and are known for the precise registration of the prints. Great for clothing, quilting, home dec or anything.
I have long been a die-hard fan of Liberty tanna lawn, to the extent that I have purchased at least some yardage anywhere I see it.The pieces in my collection were purchased in Sydney, Australia at the Liberty store, in Tokyo at a four building fabric mecca, at San Francisco’s legandary Britex Fabrics, at cosmopolitan G-Street in DC and many locations between.
But my supply has long since exceeded my demand, so I am reluctantly trimming down my stash of this luscious fabric. This is the start of my separation anxiety!
Even a small amount of Liberty makes an elegant statement. Lezette Thomason (Children’s Corner pattern designer, etc.) loves Liberty and often uses it for a ruffle against a solid colored fabric, such her Kitty pattern. She has also suggested that a contrasting Liberty print be used as facing on the armscye or along the yoke as on Callie.
