Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. It isn’t the greatest of weather here today, but gosh is it hot and humid!! It’s days like these where all we want to do is stay indoors with the good ol’ AC :)
To liven things up a little bit here, we have our How To’s Day for you! With Summer officially here, that definitely means enduring in more outdoor activities…especially all things water-related! So excited for Summer days of swimming at the lake, catching up on a good book at the beach, and maybe even having a jet-ski adventure (…depending on how brave we’re feeling that day haha!). We always love a little nautical for the Summer, especially in fashion and décor. Who wouldn’t want to wear a navy and white striped dress and big floppy hat while cruising on the lake in a boat? Um, where do we sign up? :) But if you aren’t planning an adventure of the sorts this Summer either, have no fear…today’s How To’s Day is bringing the water to you!
Today we are sharing our tutorial on our Anchor Pillow, featuring our In The Navy by Jackie McFee Collection. And these two couldn’t be more fitting; our In The Navy collection features anchors, stripes, and dots in a fun navy, pink, and metallic gold color combination! We love the idea of a nautical-inspired guest bedroom or family room – add some decorative shells, some wood paneling, and a couple of our Anchor pillows on a striped couch…and you are all ready to set sail (…or at least it will feel that way haha!). Finish off the look for a nautical-inspired quilt, or two.
Check out the full tutorial for our Anchor Pillow HERE! :)

Hi everyone!
Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? It’s official Summer now…Happy Summer!! Here’s to yummy BBQs, fun get-togethers, and warmer weather!! :)
It’s time to start off the first week of Summer with out Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Black & Tan Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Black & Tan is an absolutely beautiful, sleek collection of herringbone, houndstooth, chevron and animal print (leopard and zebra…how fun, right?) designs in a mix of black, white, and tan. This collection is strong, modern, and has an affluent appeal…it reminds us of all the business men and women, busily rushing to and from work on Wall Street, dressed in fitted dark suits, mahogany or black shoes, and matching briefcases. And then after work, taking a quick stop…into Barney’s of course!
Black & Tan is a great collection to mix into any current décor with its neutral colors and prints, and would make for the perfect throw quilt. How about a matching foldover clutch and full skirt? Yes, please! :) Be sure to check out the full Black & Tan collection here!
Didit Hediprasetyo’s Spring 2014 Couture Collection is the epitome of 50s-inspired and classic, in both silhouettes and patterns. The collection features neutral black and brown tones but in some really fun prints – tweed, houndstooth, and leather! We absolutely adore the mix between black and tan, two strong colors that go really well together is paired properly. We love Didit Hediprasetyo’s twist on a retro jumpsuit in houndstooth, especially with the little glints of shimmer and leather detailing. This collection definitely reminds us of our Black & Tank collection, and we especially love this look…and this one! You can check out the full collection HERE! :)
We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday!! Have a great day, everyone! :)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Friday!! It’s officially Summer tomorrow, and we are oh-so excited!! Have you seen our What We Love post yesterday? The Camelot Design Studio shared our weekly loves with you! You can check out the post here :)
It’s also time to end another great week with our Fan Friday! Today we’ve got one that is inspiring us to do some summer baking this weekend. Ruth Davis of Quilt ‘n’ Fabric shared with us two absolutely beautiful aprons created with our Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee collection…and we just had to share! Quilt ‘n’ Fabric is a quilt shop located in Maine dedicated to handmade quilts, fabrics, yarn, and other sewing, knitting, crocheting, & scrap-booking supplies. As well, sewing classes and patterns are offered!
These two GMM apron designs feature a retro-style halter, a big bow waist-tie, and a ruffled bottom…all of our favorite things!! The yellow and gray color combination works perfectly for a fresh and contemporary-looking apron, perfect for the stylish baking- or cooking-enthusiast. We absolutely adore them, and they make us want to cook up something yummy in the kitchen now!! :)
Thank you so much, Ruth, for sharing these two gorgeous aprons with us. The bows, ruffles, and brilliant colors have made our day! Be sure to check out the Quilt ‘n’ Fabric Facebook Page and website for lots more. If you create a project with one of our fabric collections, or using one of our free projects, we would love to see! You can send your pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!! :)
Happy Sewing!
