Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

A little quote inspiration for today: “Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint on it you can” – Danny Kaye

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday post, and today we are taking the time to thank Michelle from Hypernoodle! A little bit on Michelle and Hypernoodle: Michelle started a Etsy shop dedicated to her love for fabric, and being able to share unique and on-trend fabrics with other fabric-enthusiasts. The once small Etsy shop quickly expanded, and Michelle has since been able to add many more incredible fabric lines to her shop, even launching her own website. With it, she also has a blog and Etsy shop dedicated to her handmade treasures. Camelot Fabrics is honored to be one of the fabric lines featured in her shop!

We’ve had a great bond with Hypernoodle, and for this past Fall Quilt Market Michelle sewed a stunning project for us. She used a darling Pleated Ruffle Coat pattern from Amelie & Henri Patterns using our Design Studio Collection fabric, and it was definitely a “wow” piece! Any little girl would feel like a true princess in this coat. Thank you so much, Michelle, for the beautiful piece. As well, Hypernoodle & ‘Maureen Cracknell Handmade had hosted a giveaway with bundles of our fabric at the beginning of November (over now!) but we wanted to also thank her for that. We always love reading what people think about our designs!

Thank you so much Michelle for being the most amazing Camelot Fabrics cheerleader, we really appreciate your kindness and enthusiasm so very much. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Thankful Thursday. Be sure to check out Hypernoodle and Michelle’s Etsy shop! You can also find her on Facebook.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! With the weekend just around the corner, we hope you all have had a terrific and productive week thus far! Today we bring to you our weekly Thankful Thursday post and this week we are taking the time to thank the Glimpse Reviews blog.

The Glimpse Reviews blog is run by two lovely ladies, Andrea and Julie, from the Canadian Prairies. Their blog focuses on local, Canadian-based stores and businesses – something we definitely support and appreciate being Canadian-born! Both being mommies, their blog posts focus on kid-friendly, DIY, and natural products (and everything in-between!) that are all Canadian-based. As well, they host a multitude of different giveaways to their readers (and who doesn’t love giveaways, right?). We definitely think you will love all their informative postings and recommend you take a little glimpse at their blog (see what we did there? ;))!

The Glimpse ladies chose their favorite fabric designs from us, and created some very special projects that they shared on their blog! Julie chose our Stitched Garden Collection and she sewed a darling, ruffled skirt for her little daughter. The Stitched Garden designs are girly and innocent, and made the perfect little twirl skirt.

Oh how adorable!!

Andrea decided to go in the opposite direction of the gender spectrum, and chose our beloved Star Trek Collection to make something for her little boy. She sewed a backseat car organizer for him, so now he can easily store away all his toys from his three sisters. Such a functional and useful project, and it looks fantastic with our Star Trek fabric! Be sure to read the Glimpse review blog post on Camelot Fabrics here.

Thank you so much to the Glimpse girls for the wonderful blog post and projects with our fabric! We are so thrilled that you love our designs. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Thankful Thursday post!

PS: Have you seen yesterday’s Winsday? You could win our Birds of a Feather FQ Bundle by telling us what you would create with the fabric. Comment and enter on the blog post here. Good luck! We will be announcing the winner on next week’s Winsday post.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

We hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday! By the near end of the workweek, we simply just want the week to be over without realizing that wishing for the weekend would mean wistfully passing through the many moments leading up to it. Sometimes we need to stop and recognize the beauty that life truly holds, even in those stressful and long but brief periods of time.

That is why we’ve decided to dedicate our Thursdays to appreciating the people around us. We truly are so lucky and blessed. In the heart of another Thankful Thursday, today we are proudly taking the time to thank our selfless #SewSocial partners, Quilts for Kids.

We launched our #SewSocial Project this Summer, partnering with Quilts for Kids, Mary Fons, and the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players. It has been such a fantastic journey thus far, and we hope we can continue our #SewSocial for years to come. In collaborating with Quilts for Kids, we have been able to create lapquilts that will comfort children in need. Our goal is to brighten these children’s days by giving them something loving and warm. It truly has been such a heartfelt and inspiring experience working with such an altruistic group of people.

Quilts for Kids launched in 2000 by founder Linda Arye when she started out using fabric samples from landfills to create quilts for children in need. 13 years later, it is now an international organization that donates over 30,000 quilts every year. The Quilts for Kids mission statement is “transforming fabric into patchwork quilts that comfort children with life-threatening illnesses and children of abuse”. They have since been able to bring so many smiles to children every year and we are so proud and honored to be partnered with such a beautiful cause.

We are also donating 10% of the proceeds from our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis fabric collection to Quilts for Kids! Check out the full collection on our website here.

And here are some of the exquisite quilts being created using our fabric:

Mdm Samm has been such a wonderful supporter to us, has created many amazing projects for her blog using our fabrics, and overall has been the best cheerleader! We absolutely adore her!!

Here are some of her projects:

…Using our Simply Fashionista fabric, Mdm Samm created the most darling sewing bag (named the Tammy Bag) and a sweet thread catcher to match. We just adore the ruffles!!

As well, Mdm Samm sewed the perfect, hero-worthy quilt using our  Man of Steel fabric for her eldest who is a big Superman fan!! It is absolutely amazing, and would make any Superman fan swoon! We also featured her quilt in a past Fan Friday, which you can check out here.
