Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. The weather is absolutely gorgeous here this week, and we are loving it!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Quilt Bars quilt by Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis. Quilt Bars is a modern and clean quilt design of layered rectangles to create a “multiplying” illusion of symmetrical space. It’s a great pattern for featuring a multitude of different fabric designs, because of the separating blocks. We chose to feature our Disney Princess collection with this quilt, and adore how the pink hues blend together. This would be such a sweet quilt for a little princess-in-training, tucked in and ready to dream about fairytales!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Today is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day… we’ll gladly have ice cream of ANY flavor, any day. If we could, of course haha ;)

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic quilting read, the McCall’s Quick Quilts magazine. McCall’s Quick Quilts is the McCall’s magazine dedicated to the beginner quilter, those who have just found an interest in quilting and aren’t quite sure where to begin or those who are looking for some easier-leveled quilt patterns. As the name suggests, this magazine is all about modern quilting, and focuses on patterns. Each issue includes a good number of quilt patterns to choose from, so you may have some future WIPs coming up ;) “Make fresh, fun, fabulous quilts” is this issue’s motto, and we couldn’t have summed it up better ourselves.

In the latest issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts, Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis (also one of our amazing pattern designers!), designed a quilt pattern for them called Morning Stroll. Morning Stroll focuses on a lesson on quick and easy curves, using templates to create pieced wedges. The quilt pattern features our Folklore Collection by Heather Rosas, with the pretty red and blue feminine prints creating such a stunning bed quilt.

Thank you Tammy for choosing our Folklore collection, and for McCall’s Quick Quilts for featuring the wonderful quilt pattern. You can find the Morning Stroll pattern in their latest issue, so be sure to check it out!! Have a fantastic rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone’s Thursday has been going well so far; the weekend is just about here! Be sure to check out our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Facebook Giveaway HERE to enter a chance to win a Penelope FQ Bundle and coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spools Case!!

We’ve got our Thankful Thursday for you all!! Today we are featuring one of our incredible quilt designers, Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis! Tammy has been quilting since 1991, and has a continued love and passion for fabrics & sewing. She loves to work with all sorts of fabrics, but she admits that her favorites include batiks, bold prints, and chicken prints. Tammy is the owner of Tamarinis, a quilt pattern company dedicated to unique and fantastic quilt designs. Tammy has a wonderful mix of traditional and more modern quilt designs, all of which are aesthetically beautiful and influenced by her art & literature background. We had the awesome opportunity of collaborating with Tammy on a couple of quilt designs, and even had some sewn up for Spring Quilt Market!

One of the exclusive quilt patterns Tammy designed for us is Quilt Bars – a clean and bordered quilt design that works well with a multitude of fabric designs. We love how the design draws the eyes towards the middle, but isn’t busy because of the quilt’s simplicity. We had Quilt Bars done with our Iconic Collection for Quilt Market, and it looked absolutely incredible in our Iconic room! Soso stunning!!

The second quilt design that Tammy created for us is Play Date – a really fun, baby-sized quilt with adorable pinwheel details! We had the quilt sewn up with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis Collection, and it was perfect for our Take Flight boy’s room set-up at Quilt Market. We love how the blues, reds, and creams in this collection work perfectly – and the pinwheels are even reminiscent of propellers! What we were in awe by was the cloud embroidery that Tammy did on this quilt; so detail-oriented and absolutely beautiful!!

We wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Tammy of Tamarinis for creating two absolutely incredible quilt designs for us. All of Tammy’s quilt designs are clear and concise, and really wonderful to work with and understand. We heard so many positive comments on these two quilts at Quilt Market!! We are so incredibly thankful for your partnership, Tammy, and cannot wait for some future collaborations!! Stay tuned for some more beautiful things from Tamarinis, exclusively for Camelot Fabrics, coming soon. You can check out Tammy’s website, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest for more. Have a lovely day! :)

Happy Sewing!
