Welcome!

Camelot Fabrics introduces our fat quarter bundles with our pre-cut program!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone has had a restful weekend, and is having a great start to the week. It is now officially December, so let the countdown to Christmas begin!! “First we’ll make snow angels for two hours, then we’ll go ice skating, then we’ll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookie-dough as fast as we can, and then we’ll snuggle” – Buddy, Elf Movie.

To kick off the countdown, we thought it would be fun to ask some fun holiday questions on the blog to get everyone even more excited for the upcoming festivities. Today’s question is: What is your favorite holiday treat? Yup, this is definitely a difficult one because there are so. many. yummy. treats. to choose from!! So, we won’t mind if you share a few ;)

For myself, I’d definitely have to say it’s a toss up between holiday puppy chow (muddy buddies) and my grandma’s fruitcake (…aka not your pre-packaged door stopper. Think lots of roasted pecans & walnuts, raisins, and candied fruit encrusted in sweet, buttery cake goodness…yummers!). We’ve also got our Design Studio team to share in the fun too, so scroll down for their yummy holiday treats:

Valeria: Panettone!! :)

Juan: Natilla y Buñuelos! :)

Marion: I can’t get enough of my Mum’s shortbread; I’m convinced it’s the best in the world. In fact, I may or may not have stolen several batches from the freezer in the days leading up to Christmases past …

Andra: It’s definitely hard to choose, but I must say that these last couple of years I’ve been obsessed with eggnog, yum. Another holiday classic that I look forward to are Romanian cabbage rolls; a delicious combination of pickled cabbage, pork, beef, seasoning and tomato sauce, not to mention that our family recipe is the best! oh man, now I can’t wait to get home and have some…om nom nom ;)

Shannen: I actually have 2 favorite holiday treats…On Christmas morning my dad makes fried bread-dough using the maple syrup he boiled from last spring. For Christmas dinner, my family doesn’t do the traditional large homemade dinner- in fact, my parents always found ordering Chinese take-out as a solution to keeping the day relaxing instead of stressing about a perfect meal. As odd as it may sound  – I have looked forward to this tradition every year for the past 15 years. 

As today is Monday, we’ve also got another Moody Monday for you! Today we are sharing with you our Birds of a Feather by Allison Cole mood board, a collection of tribal influence with its rustic colors. Birds of a Feather features a multitude of feathers, birds, floral prints, and butterflies to create lovely designs that are perfect for any little girl or boy’s room decor or apparel. Such a sweet and rich collection!

From the runway, we saw lots of tribal-inspired prints and silhouettes for the upcoming season but there is one that definitely sparks our interest! Mara Hoffman’s Fall/Winter 2013 RTW collection featured a strong assortment of colors and patterns that definitely had a tribal feel, especially having used textiles from Turkey and Uzbekistan. All the pieces were flowing, soft, and draped beautiful with striking prints. We are definitely inspired! To see the full collection, be sure to click here.

We hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Moody Monday post! Have you entered our Star Trek fabric giveaway yet? We are giving away 6 yards of our Star Trek fabric. Let us know who your favorite Star Trek character is here. Good Luck! We are announcing the winner this Wednesday, so be sure to enter before then :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We are super excited that it’s just about the weekend. We hope everyone has had a fantastic week. We can’t believe that December is just about here, though our weather isn’t denying us of the winter weather (we’ve been hitting below 0°C and have gotten snow already!). You know what they say: if you can’t beat ’em, then join ’em – here’s to the upcoming months of skating, skiing, and tobogganing! :)

Today is another appropriate blog post with the American Thanksgiving being amongst us with our Fan Fridays! Our Fan Fridays are dedicated to all our loyal supporters who share their beloved projects with us using our fabric designs. We ADORE seeing all the crafty projects! :)

Today we are sharing with you someone who equally loves all things “geek”, Ellie from Vampire Bunnies. We also have a current Star Trek fabric giveaway happening right now too! You could win 6 yards of some pretty incredible Star Trek fabric…click here to enter!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day. Today is also Thanksgiving, so we wanted to wish all our American friends a Happy Thanksgiving!! Carving of the turkey, cranberry sauce, apple pies, mashed potatoes, roasted butternut squash…oh how yummy! But of course besides a delicious feast, Thanksgiving is also the time to set everything else aside and enjoy the company of your loved ones. We wish everyone a loving, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving weekend! :)

Being that today on the blog is also Thankful Thursday, we thought it would be the perfect time to give thanks to everyone who has supported us. Along the way, we have met and been inspired by so many incredible people. We have been able to reach out and chat with an abundance of creative, selfless, and hard-working individuals and we wanted to take the time to thank them for inspiring us!

We also wanted to thank all of you – thank you for all the positive and wonderful feedback on our designs & endeavors, and for sharing your projects with us. We absolutely adore seeing our fabric designs being crafted into your fantastic projects and they always put a smile on our faces. We have much to be thankful for, a list that would truly be endless, but we will end with a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has positively touched our hearts. As well, today is the first day of Hanukkah…so Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate the Festival of Lights :)

Happy Sewing!
