The Liberty Belle Quilt Glow Up
Once upon a time.... I wrote my very first Quilt pattern. It is called the Liberty Belle Quilt. I adore this version still to this day that I made from my Liberty stash along with some Linen. It is all hand quilted and this was made for my oldest daughter who had a hand in choosing the Liberty fabrics that made up the colour palette. It was one of the first patterns I released in my Tied with a Ribbon range and always has been a quilt I have loved.
So fast forward to today....... and a bundle of Tula Pink Daydreamer later and I had a new cover girl star for this pattern.
Here is the stunning Queen size version of my Liberty Belle Quilt which has undergone a “Glow Up”. This size uses a Full FQ Bundle. I used the beautiful @tulapink Daydreamer fabrics. ๐ฆฉ ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ฅ๐
The new pattern now includes:
๐งก Available in 4 sizes (Baby, Lap, Single and Queen size)
๐ Pre-cut Friendly (Jelly Roll for the Baby, Lap and Single sizes)
๐ Cutting Layouts included
❤️ Colouring Pages included
๐ Beginner Friendly
๐ Fast and fun to make
You can get the Liberty Belle pattern here
Wholesale through Creative Abundance and in all the best Local Quilt Stores.
Happy Quilting

Two Hearts Quilt Along - Week 4
Well I can't believe we have come to the final week of the Two Hearts Quilt Along. I am beyond humbled by all those who have joined in and for all the love this pattern of mine has been shown. A massive thank you to you all for your support - it really does mean so much to me.
So this week is all about finishing your blocks as well as getting your Quilt Top ready for Quilting, and Binding and being able to then finish it up. I have put together some tips and links below which I hope will help you with the decisions for this next part of the process with how you will finish it.
QUILTING DECISIONS
When it comes to deciding on how to Quilt your Quilt - you have lots of options.
Quilt It Yourself - for those keen to quilt your own Quilt there are lots of ways you can tackle this. You can simply quilt tram lines either sides of all the seam lines for simple but effective quilting. You can get as adventurous as you like with Free Motion Quilting or even more detailed straight line quilting. Or how about Cross-Hatching over the entire quilt or even using a Large Zig Zag stitch without needing a lot of experience.
For those wanting to give Free-Motion Quilting a go or already are familiar with this Technique, check out this Blog Post I wrote all about Machine Quilting. I hope this gives you some helpful tips.
Send it to a Professional - you can send your quilt to a Long Arm quilter who can either do and Edge to Edge Design or Custom Quilt your finished Quilt.
Hand Quilt it - if you love the look of hand quilting or have ever wanted to give this a go, head over and check out all my best Hand Quilting Tips and Tools here. There is nothing more satisfying than the look of perfectly imperfect hand made stitches in a quilt.
BINDING YOUR QUILT
Once you have your Quilt all Quilted - now you can turn your attention to Binding your Quilt. There are so many Tutorials for how to bind you Quilt if you Google.
I have put together a Tutorial on how to work the Binding continuously around the corner when you sew it onto the top of your Quilt – it’s a small but very helpful and useful way to sew your Binding all on in one go. Check it out here
So this weeks task is to post a pic to Instagram using the hashtags #twoheartsquiltalong, #twoheartsquilt and #tiedwitharibbonpatterns of your blocks for your Two Hearts Quilt. It helps to tag me - @tiedwitharibbon to make sure I see your post and of course your Profile has to be set to Public for me to see it.
A massive thank you again to everyone who has bought my Pattern(s) and participated in the Two Hearts Quilt Along - I am so blown away by how many of you from all over the world have joined in and just in love with your fabric choices and how your quilts have come together.
Thank you , Thank you, Thank you

Two Hearts Quilt Along - Week 2
Week 2 is here of the Two Hearts Quilt Along and it has been so inspiring to see all the Fabric Pulls and lots blocks all ready in anticipation of being made into a quilt.
What an amazing start we have gotten off to with the Two Hearts Quilt Along - it is so exciting to see so many fabric pulls and cut out quilts block pieces showing up already. I am seriously in love with lots of these that they make me want to make another one - or ten! Have you checked out the #twoheartsquiltalong and #twohearts hashtags?
It's certainly not too late at all to join in the fun at all.
The Two Hearts Quilt pattern is Available here
You can get all the details for the Two Hearts Quilt Along Week 1 here
Now that you have chosen and cut out your fabrics, this week you are going to be working on making blocks. If you are making a Baby size then you are making 2 blocks, 6 blocks for the Large Lap or 10 blocks for the Queen size quilt.
Helpful Trimming Tools
There are A LOT of sewing gadgets around. Some are just gimmicks, some are helpful and then there are the ones that are Game Changers.
One of the biggest Game Changers I always recommend in your Quilting Tool Box is Bloc-loc Rulers. I am in no way affiliated with Bloc-loc – just my personal/professional opinions that these are rulers that ARE worth investing in.
While you do not need these to make this quilt at all – I highly recommend that you grab yourself some and you will never look back.
For the Two Hearts Quilt I used the following rulers:
Half Square Triangle Ruler – 4 1/2in x 4 1/2in
Flying Geese Ruler 2in x 4in and 4in x 8in
I will be sharing a Reel this week on my Instagram grid of these Rulers so watch out for that.
You can also see this post here on My top Tools on my Blog.
So this weeks task is to post a pic to Instagram using the hashtags #twoheartsquiltalong, #twoheartsquilt and #tiedwitharibbonpatterns of your blocks for your Two Hearts Quilt. It helps to tag me - @tiedwitharibbon to make sure I see your post and of course your Profile has to be set to Public for me to see it.

Two Hearts Quilt Pattern Release
Turns out that I am a bit of a fan in designing and creating Heart patterns. It turns out that this is the 8th Heart inspired pattern I have published, with 6 being stand alone patterns and 1 in each of my Books - Weekend Quilting and Quilt Big.
Introducing the Two Hearts Quilt
When I got my hands on the Darlings #2 bundle from Ruby Star Society I immediately knew that I was going to make up this design for the cover. With the greatest prints and perfect match of Low Volume prints in this collection it made for just the right mix. I wanted a bold and statement style modern quilt, featuring hearts that was also great for those early in their quilting journey to achieve.
