Since 1875, Liberty has been a home for design lovers— a place where imagination finds form in fabric. And for over four decades, Aurifil has supported makers around the world with threads spun for precision, performance, and passion. Together, we’ve woven a story that honors both legacies while inviting makers to create new ones.
Though our brands grew from different traditions, we share a common thread: craftsmanship born of place. Aurifil’s threads are produced just outside Milan, where our team has refined the art of cotton for over forty years.
An hour north, near the banks of Lake Como, Liberty’s Italian printing mill brings Lasenby Cotton to life, blending heritage printing with modern precision.
Our proximity feels symbolic — two neighboring craftspeople, each guided by legacy, united by innovation.
When we first introduced this collaboration, we invited you to imagine a world where Liberty’s timeless florals met Aurifil’s unmatched threads. Today, we’re thrilled to share that this vision is now a reality— the Aurifil × Liberty Collection is here.
At the heart of the collection lies Emily Belle, one of Liberty’s most beloved blenders. Graceful garden botanicals— daisies, peonies, cornflowers, and marguerites— dance across richly colored grounds, screen-printed on Liberty’s signature Lasenby Cotton.
We’ve wrapped that same floral beauty around a custom-designed Aurifil case in Marine Blue Emily Belle, housing 45 small spools of 100% Cotton 50wt in shades that harmonize perfectly with the full Emily Belle palette. Each color was hand-selected to complement the florals— a thoughtful balance of artistry and intention.
Aurifil × Liberty‘s custom case is one that feels equally at home in a studio, a living room, or a display cabinet. It’s a reminder that the tools we use every day can also bring beauty to our surroundings— that creativity and aesthetics belong hand in hand.
Imagine the collection styled on a bookshelf beside your favorite quilting titles, displayed on a coffee table beside a vase of flowers, or resting on your sewing table, ready for your next inspired project.
This is not just a thread set. It’s a statement piece — one that celebrates making as a lifestyle, not just a moment.
Note: We recommend consulting your local quilt shop to find Aurifil × Liberty — collections are available for order now!
The collection made its official trade debut at International Quilt Market last month, where we were honored to showcase the artistry of Leisa Morris White. She created both a stunning quilt and a coordinating pillow featuring all colorways of Liberty’s Emily Belle florals. Her thoughtful design highlighted the versatility of the collection and the seamless connection between Liberty fabric and Aurifil thread.
Leisa’s original pattern is available via the button below, and an updated version— tailored specifically for this quilt— will be available soon.
Market visitors also caught a glimpse of Liberty’s Emily Belle notions cases, lending a touch of refined charm to the display. From thread sets to storage to fabric, these pieces embody the beauty and intention of handcrafted design.
Whether you collect Liberty prints, treasure Aurifil threads, or simply love surrounding yourself with beauty, this collaboration offers the chance to curate a creative sanctuary filled with pattern, color, and intention.
In every spool, every print, and every project sparked by this collaboration, we see the same truth: that making connects us— to tradition, to creativity, and to one another. The Aurifil × Liberty Collection is an invitation to keep that connection alive, to stitch beauty into the everyday, and to celebrate a craft that continues to inspire across generations.
