It was inspired on a early summer morning's walk along the West Lyn river about half a mile from my home, the river runs through a deep wooded valley and is more of a mountain stream than an actual river.
There aren't really banks as such, just a rocky footpath along the riverside, but there is a small meadow, on that summer morning the meadow sparkled with sunlight, full of wild flowers with the fluffy seeds of Rose bay willow herb blowing in the breeze, it truly was one of those magical moments frozen in time.
I was so inspired that I decided to make a meadow blanket, as I started crocheting I realised that the design looked like a liberty print fabric. My beloved Aunty Pat, sews all her own clothes and makes a lot of them out of Liberty fabric, so Liberty was the perfect name.
Liberty features a green background representing the meadow with rose red hexagonal flowers.
