Happy Monday!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend and that you were able to get some time to craft or sew.  We would love to see what you have made so send us a picture for our Fan Friday blog!

On to our Moody Monday!

This week we are featuring our Finding Dory Collection by the Camelot Design Studio for Disney.  This fabric collection is simply adorable and I must admit that I have been having fun sewing projects with this line for a while.

My kids are too young to have seen the Disney•Pixar Finding Nemo movie on the big screen but it doesn’t stop them from knowing all the fun characters and they are just ecstatic as I promised to bring them to see the movie on the big screen when released on June 17.  And you will all be happy to know that you can also get the beautiful collection in your local quilt shop now!

Have you ever been in a local park during a football practice?  It’s something to see, I have been watching my 13 year old boy going to practices and matches for the past 4 years and I am just amazed every time I see them work out until shear exhaustion and going back on the field simply because the coach asked.  And hearing their team cheer at the end… What a rush.  I understand how being part of that team is important to him, it gives him a sense of belonging

And I have to admit, I feel the same way when we get ready for Quilt Market. That’s the quilter’s Jamboree!  Our time to meet everyone and share our passion for quilting.

We at Camelot Fabrics have spent numerous hours preparing our booth with great detail to present our new collections.  We simply can’t wait to show you the fabrics, the quilts, the clothing and let’s not forget the cute toys.  So please drop by booth # 1209 and say hello!

If you are a Quilt Shop owner, you will want to stay just a bit longer so that we can present all of our lines as well as some marketing ideas we have to help you promote your wonderful store!

That’s right!

While other fabric companies are setting up promotions directly to consumers, we would like to have a different approach.  We would much rather promote the local quilt shops that work hard every day to provide the best service to their customers.  How are we planning to help?  We have two marketing strategies that can help get customers into your store and buying fabrics.

Let’s start by getting them into the store:

E-mail us photos of your quilt shop featuring our Camelot Fabrics.  Add a brief description of your shop and its location and things to do in your area.  Once a week, we will be featuring a Quilt Shop on our social media (Blog, facebook, Twitter, Instgram and Pinterest).

Then let’s get you selling more fabrics:

If you like the projects that are in our booth, than you will love the idea of having some of the quilts, clothing and toys featured in your own shop!  We are preparing a series of trunk shows that will be moving on a monthly basis along with kits on consignment. So make sure to sign up during the show as space is limited.

As you can see, there are many reasons why you simply have to stop at booth # 1209.  If you can’t make it to the Spring Quilt Market but would like to participate in our marketing strategy, simply send us an e-mail at marketing@camelotfabrics.com.

Just doing our part to help you sell more of our fabrics.

It’s our Winsday!

This week we hosted a 14 Fat Quarters GIVEAWAY of the Lavismint collection On our Facebook Page. We wanted to know:

DOES SIZE MATTER?

What is your preference when making a quilt?

 

We love doing these mini surveys.  I was expecting to have more people making smaller size quilts as they are faster to make and easier to quilt.  But to my surprise Queen size and King size are still very popular.  So thank you for playing along on our winsday.

And now, of course, the winner of our Lavishmint giveaway is:

Jean Truchan

Congratulations!

This week we hosted our Heirloom  Collection Fat quarter giveaway on our Facebook Page. We wanted to know:

What is your favorite quilt pattern?

Thanks to all of you that answered the survey.  I have taken the time to review the over 500 comments and was surprised to see the variety in your answers.  But some patterns do hold a special place in our hearts: the log cabin, turning twenty ans samplers did come up quite a few times.  And some modern quilters that can’t follow a pattern!  I will keep this in mind when we will be choosing new patterns for Fall.

So thank you for playing along on our winsday.

And now, of course, the winner of our Heirloom bundle is:
