Welcome!

Irish designer Paula McGloin joins us on the blog today, talking about the process of taking art from inspiration to finished product and translating the natural world to beautiful illustrations.

Paula’s cotton collection Gingerbread Bakery is in stores now.

Shirley Copperwhite is the Irish designer behind folk-art collections Birds of Paradise and Spring Birds. This month, she shares her musings on travels in Madeira, her Victorian inspiration and the joy of freeing her mind to do “cartwheels on the page”.

BeeYoutiful designer Jackie McFee returns to the Camelot Fabrics blog for her second artist feature. In case you missed it, you can read her first interview here: On the open (creative) road with Jackie McFee
As one of our longest-standing designers Jackie’s got plenty of insights into the world of fabric design. What wins us over again and again, though, is the youthful vibrancy of her personality which shines through in everything she creates. Want a dose of that spirit? Read on after the jump!

We’re excited to feature Vicky Yorke this month! This artist brings British flair to all her collections, including From London with Love, Village Life, and the brand new Urban Jungle line.

This month we chat with Teresa Chan of Chan Graphics, who just launched her third collection with us: Safari Dreams. Teresa shares the experiences that inform her design work, from the sweet whimsy of Up, Up and Away to the sophisticated depth of her newest line.
