Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Today is the start to another wonderful week (single digit countdown to Quilt Market!!) …and with that, we bring to you another Moody Monday! This autumn season, adorable creatures have been seen everywhere – owls, foxes, raccoons – and with their rich, warm colors to match…we have been inspired! Thus, we have decided to share our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Moodboard with you all today.

With the autumn season officially upon us, it’s that time of year to don all your favorite oversized scarves and chunky knit sweaters with the intentions of keeping warm. But, bundling up doesn’t mean we can’t still look cute and stylish. This season we’ve been seeing lots of fun, graphic sweaters faced with our sweet, furry friends, both on the runway and in high-street stores. We adore the mix of feminine and playful a beautiful sweater with a fox print gives, and it can be dressed up or down accordingly with a pair of boyfriend jeans, over a tulle dress, or with a collared button up for the workplace. Some of our favorites are from J.Crew, Maison Kitsune, Old Navy, Lacoste, Balenciaga, and Markus Lupfer.

Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas is a rich color-infused collection of deep, fall hues of oranges, greens, blues, and browns adorned with hedgehog, fox, raccoon, and owl prints. Our moodboard showcases this collection wonderfully, with its woodsy and cozy feel. The collection is cheerful and bright, just as you will be this autumn with your animal-printed sweater, phone case, and DIY pillows to match. Here’s to all the darling forest creatures that make us smile and go “awww”!

Be sure to check out the Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas collection and her blog for more! Let us know what you think about this endearing collection. Any projects that come to mind?

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to another Fan Friday post!! This also means that today is Friday…the last day before the weekend (hooray!!). Let’s celebrate the last day of the work week by sharing another amazing fan project with you all.

Erin Erickson recently shared with us her Two Zip Hipster Bag using one of our Star Wars fabric designs. When we clicked on the link and saw the picture, we instantly fell head over heels for the bag (and using our fabric, nonetheless!) – we just had to share!!

[Quoted by Erin on her blog: I love Camelot Fabrics. Camelot are you listening? You make my geeky side so happy! – You made us super happy. We LOVE hearing all of your positive feedback so to that we say a big thank you Erin for the love!! <3]

Erin is the pattern maker and founder of Dog Under My Desk PDF Sewing Patterns. She has fantastic, easy-to-follow patterns for all your bag needs (daytripper, makeup, lunch, and more!). You can check them all out in her store by clicking here! Erin also has a correlating blog where she posts informative and creative tutorials, interfacing and pattern tips, giveaways, and fun updates.

Erin made her Two Zip Hipster Bag for one of her friends, Lisa, who is a big Star Wars fan and she chose our Star Wars Blue Schematic fabric for it! Lisa wanted her bag to be iPad-friendly, so Erin made the bag pattern a bit bigger…and tada! It came out looking pretty fantastic. You can check out the full post on the bag here. Now on to some pictures!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a lovely Thursday thus far. On Thursdays we like to take the time to appreciate those who have lovingly supported us…and there truly are so many!!

One project that we have been proudly working on this year is our #SewSocial Project. This is the first year that we’ve launched it, so it’s still in its infancy, but with the resounding positive feedback from many, many people it has grown wonderfully in such a short period. Our #SewSocial Project partners up with Quilts for Kids, a fantastic organization that sews lap quilts for children with long-term illnesses and children of abuse. We feel so honored to be working with such an inspiring organization. We also have the privilege of working with Mary Fons, creator and founder of Quilty Magazine, who will be creating the lap quilts – a quick {for now!} thank you to her! We hope to continue our #SewSocial Project in the following years, to only grow more and comfort as many children in need as we can.

This year, we have partnered up with the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players (MPBP). They have been an integral part in helping our #SewSocial Project grow. On August 4th, 2013 we hosted a #SewSocial Launch Party in Orlando, Florida with the MPBP, Mary Fons, and the lovely ladies from Quilts with Kids. There was lots of yummy food, many laughs and happy tears, and a bustling of creativity and sewing…amongst beautiful company. It was such a lovely and successful event, for such an incredible cause.

Our wonderful NBA fabric!
