This fall Camelot teamed up with Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts to create The Force Quilt pattern, which Julie sewed for us in our new Star Wars: The Last Jedi collection. We revealed the quilt at Fall Quilt Market in Houston, and we were blown away by Star Wars fans’ positive response!

The Force Quilt is made with the letter block patterns from Alphabet Soup by Jaybird Quilts. Julie offers a  free pdf extension on her website, showing how to make The Force Quilt with the letter blocks from the book.  Be sure to visit our website for the project’s yardage requirements. Fabrics are from The Last Jedi cotton collection, which is in stores right now.

We’ve had our hands full this Tuesday, convincing our in-house bulldog Roxy to pose for pictures of dog-themed DIYs. Not a bad task for a Tuesday, right? Well, it took a little coaxing but she sat for us in the end.

Pet Themed Projects in Dog-Gone It

Fortunately for us, the DIYs took no convincing. For the dog-lovers out there (and we know there are a lot of you!), here’s a couple of playful little projects for your favourite pup. The fabrics? We dug into our Dog-Gone It collection, of course! This preppy group by Jackie McFee walks the line between sartorial style and lovable doggishness. Our gal Roxy may not have been too impressed by our choice of breed, though – both the collection and the table runner feature Dachshunds, not bulldogs.
