Everything to Know About Liberty Lasenby Cotton
You asked, we answered – find out everything you need to know about the quintessential quilting fabric
By: Maddi JohnInspired by The Patchwork Collective, and the larger-than-life quilted house hanging in our East Atrium? Then perhaps a quilt project of your own lies in your crafting future. For that you're going to need the best fabric for the job: Lasenby Cotton. Designed with quilting in mind, our soft but sturdy cotton base makes light work of many creative quilting projects, from luxe bedspreads to cosy cushions. But what's the backstory to this quilting hero? Let's find out...
What Is the History of Lasenby Cotton?
Named after our founder Arthur Lasenby Liberty, Lasenby Cotton encompasses everything Liberty stands for, from artistic escapism to delivering the utmost quality. Since launching in 2017, crafters have been able to put their sewing skills to the test with this easy-use, unique base.
Where and How Is Lasenby Quilting Cotton Made?
Lasenby truly is a one-of-a-kind base. With its own team of expert designers who design specifically for crafting, Lasenby is the perfect choice for those who enjoy fussy cutting or English paper piecing. The extraordinary base features smaller and more conversational designs with quilting in mind, unlike its fabric counterparts, Tana Lawn and Crepe de Chine which are better suited to dressmaking.
Like many of our Liberty fabrics, Lasenby is printed and finished in our Italian Mill, near the banks of Lake Como. Our mill reflects both sides of the Liberty spirit – a proud history of heritage design, combined with a restlessly inventive approach. Our specialists print millions of metres of fabric every year, using both rotary screen and digital printing technologies. Swathes of fabric move through printing, steaming, washing and softening processes. They are later quality checked by eagle-eyed technologists, before the fabric is cut, rolled and shipped around the globe.
What Is Lasenby’s Thread Count, Feel and Finish?
Our soft Lasenby Cotton base is made from 100% cotton and is suitable for a range of creative home projects. Slightly heavier than its cotton companion Tana Lawn, Lasenby weighs 146 grams per square meter making it very stable and perfect for quilting. The Lasenby range is printed using traditional screen printing that infuses rich colour tones into the fabric that brings our studio designers’ photographic and painterly creations to life in the most vivid way possible. Soft and smooth, this textile is just thing you’ll want to cosy up with on a cold winter’s day or drape across your bedscape during summer.
What Can Lasenby Be Used for?
Quilting, of course! Lasenby is durable and vibrantly coloured with beloved Liberty designs that are tailored to crafting purposes. With so many inventive patterns to explore, there’s a multitude of different shapes, sizes and coloured quilts to create, whether you fancy trying your hand at the iconic puff quilt or maybe prefer a vintage-inspired design. There’s just something about creating metres of colourful patchwork that encompasses everything our #LibertyCraftClub represents.
