Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! And, Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American friends! We wish you all a wonderful day filled with lots of love, family time, and delicious food. Because today is our weekly Thankful Thursday, we thought it would be the perfect time to share what we are most thankful for…

We are so thankful for our wonderful and supportive families – thank you for loving us unconditionally and for always being there for us, especially when we need it most. We are so thankful for our incredible friends and significant others – we will forever cherish all the fun, crazy, special, and laughing-till-our-bellies-hurt times; you are our chosen family. We are so thankful for the place in which we proudly call our home, with all the necessities to live comfortably, happily, and safely. We are so thankful that we get to do what we love everyday, in a place where we are encouraged to be creative and inspired (and of course, play with lots of pretty colors and fabric ;)).

We are so thankful for our talented artists – Vita, Allison, Jackie, Heather, Andrea, Jane, and Alisse – so much inspiration, creativity, and awesome-ness. We are so thankful for all the fantastic people that we have gotten to partner with, including the magazine features, blog collaborations, and project pattern designers for our free projects program. And of course, we are so thankful for all of YOU – thank you for letting us be a part of your lives, for sharing your Camelot Fabrics projects & tutorials with us, for your sweet and positive words & comments, and for inspiring us each and every day. We are also thankful for chocolate, tea, online shopping, pretty pens, adorable kitties, post-it notes, and glitter hehe.

There are so many things that we are thankful for, that our post would be a novel (haha). But, we hope that all of our American friends have a relaxing and lovely day – eat lots of yummy turkey and apple pie for us!! Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having an awesome day so far. Sew Sisters Quilt Shop is hosting their annual Blogathon Canada and we are proud to be one of the sponsors. They are giving away our Kate FQ bundle as one of the prizes – the giveaway ends tomorrow so be sure to enter :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our incredible pattern designers, Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa is a wife and stay-at-home mommy of five by day, quilting enthusiast by night. Melissa and her family have moved several times across the country, but before the first move, she asked her mom to teach her how to quilt. She wanted a new hobby to keep her busy, and through it, found a new love. She began sewing baby blankets for her friends, and her passion for sewing only grew. She started Happy Quilting in 2010 and, soon after, started to design and sell her own quilt patterns.

We had the opportunity to collaborate with Melissa for our Free Projects Program, and Melissa created two fantastic projects for us. The first is our Hang Time Quilt (above in our Fresh Solids), which is a unique and modern cross quilt that features different fabric patterns and colorways perfectly. We love the intricacy of the design, which would make for a stunning quilt as a bedspread or wall decor.

As well, Melissa designed a Peaks and Valleys Table Runner for us which is a fun zig-zagged table runner that would add a bit of oomph to any coffee table or dining table decor. It looks so pretty in our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee Collection.

Thank you so much, Melissa, for the wonderful collaboration and for the gorgeous project patterns! We are excited for what’s to come. You can find the free PDF printouts for both of Melissa’s patterns here. As well, be sure to check out more from Melissa at Happy Quilting. As well, check out her Facebook Page, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Cheers to a great rest of the day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday!! Today we are featuring one of our lovely project designers, Melissa Stramel of Lilac Lane Patterns! Melissa Stramel is a lover of all things floral! Whether it is tending to her garden, flower arrangement, or creating with floral fabrics, Melissa is always up for the challenge. While staying at home and sewing for her children, Melissa decided to combine her love for fabric & creating patterns by starting a business called Lilac Lane Patterns. After its success, Lilac Lane grew into a store in her hometown of Colby, Kansas called Creations Gallery. A pharmacist by training, Melissa has found the industry that encapsulates her skills and her loves perfectly! Melissa creates and sells her patterns under Lilac Lane, has a blog, and also has published a book! A very busy gal, indeed!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa of Lilac Lane Patterns for a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Melissa has such a creative mind, and created some really unique patterns for us. The first project is her Butterfly Quilt, which has a very cool, scrappy look with adorable little “butterflies” in the quilt design. We absolutely adore it with our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection. As well, her genius “The Sky is Falling” Table Runner with our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham Collection is so modern and fun!

We want to thank Melissa for the incredible patterns for our Free Projects Program!! You can find the free tutorials for the Butterfly Quilt and The Sky is Falling Table Runner on our website. As well, you can find more from Melissa on her website, blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Etsy. Have a good one, everyone!

Nikki creates really unique and pretty pieces, and shares her story behind each design in her posts. As well, Nikki has an Etsy Shop where she makes and sells her own patterns!

We found Nikki’s blog and absolutely fell in love her design style and patterns! Scrolling through her blog, our eyes were quickly filled with lots pretty quilts and incredible embroidery work. We are so happy that we got the chance to work with Nikki on a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Nikki has created three custom projects for us, the first is her Octagon Pillow which is very geometrically pleasing and showcases a collection wonderfully, such as our Mixology prints.

As well, she created her Diamond Cut Pillow for us which has a lovely “window”-like effect, which a diamond middle. We love it with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection. Finally, her Diamonds Quilt is like the quilt version of the Diamond Cut Pillow and we are loving the gradient effect it has with our Spectrum Collection.

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. We are hosting another Winsday this week and are giving away our Beyond the Backyard FQB AND 2 Westcott Cutting Tools on our Facebook Page. Be sure to enter if you haven’t yet HERE!

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our incredible pattern designers, Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs. Cheryl Brickey is a chemical engineer/patent agent by day and a quilter by night. Quilting and creating patterns involve a lot of technical skill, which in turn was the perfect hobby for Cheryl who also has a passion for sewing and fabrics. As a creative outlet, Cheryl was able to use her technical writing background to create her own quilting patterns as a pattern designer. Cheryl started her pattern company,  Meadow Mist Designs, to sell her patterns on Etsy. Since then, her success in the quilting world has grown immensely. Her quilts have been featured in quilt magazines, blogs, and her patterns are very popular!

We had the privilege of working with Cheryl as one of our pattern designers for our Free Projects Program. Cheryl created the Cracker Lattice Quilt for us, which is a stunning, geometric quilt design that reflects her technical and engineering background perfectly.  This modern quilt pattern features a lovely double lattice design with triangle and diamond elements and its simplicity works so well with a multitude of colors and fabrics, such as our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection. We absolutely love the versatility of this modern quilt! You can find the pattern for Cracker Lattice here.

We want to thank Cheryl for creating such a stunning quilt design for us, and for the wonderful partnership. We cannot wait for what’s still to come. You can find the free PDF of our Cracker Lattice Quilt on our website. As well, be sure to check out more from Cheryl on her blog, Etsy, and Facebook. Have a great one!
