Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy New Year everyone! We cannot believe that it is officially 2014 – where did 2013 go?! We have met so many incredible people, launched fantastic collections, and started up so many fun and rewarding projects in 2013. We must say that 2o13 was an incredible year for us, and we hope that 2014 will be just as good.

With the New Year, people often take it as a fresh start as well with resolutions. Does anyone have any New Year resolutions for 2014? :) We are looking forward to all the amazing adventures and ventures to come! Here’s to 2014 being another incredible year!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone is having a marvelous day so far. Today is New Year’s Eve…Eve (yes, it is now a thing ;)). There is still much to celebrate. Coming near to the end of 2013, we wonder where the time went by but so many amazing things have happened this year that we could not be happier. We’re excited for 2014 to come around to be yet another fantastic year!

Along with it being Monday, it’s time to share with you another moodboard. Today’s Moody Monday is inspired by What a Gem by Allison Cole. What a Gem had come out with our Fall 2013 collection, and is just bursting with color and character. This collection has a bohemian yet modern vibe with its tribal prints, arrows, feathers, dream catchers, and rich hues of pinks, navy, and emerald. This collection is perfect for your little boho youngsters or yourself; imagine a What a Gem bow tie, play tent, or trapeze dress – oh how cute right? When we see What a Gem, we think dancing in flowing dresses and frolicking through luscious forests. Check our moodboard for even more inspiration:

Now to add some fashion inspiration into the mix! With its luscious, warm hues and boho feel, the 2014 Spring RTW collection by Sacai reminds us of What a Gem. The Sacai collection is a wonderful mix of rich blues, pinks, and greens in mainly sleek silhouettes, but with dashes of tribal in its fringe and mesh details. We adore this collection, and tribal will definitely be a trend for the upcoming seasons! Check out the full collection here.

We hope we have inspired you today with our What a Gem moodboard and fashion trends! This is also the last official Moody Monday of 2013 – wow, see you next year!! Have a Happy New Year everyone :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday everyone! We hope everyone is having an amazing day. There are 6 more days till Christmas!! We are ready to snuggle up by the fire with some popcorn and Christmas movie classics, to enjoy the winter snow…but from the inside. “Blast this Christmas music. It’s joyful and triumphant” — The Grinch, How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Today is Thankful Thursday on the blog! We are taking the time to thank Multi-Testing Mommy for sharing with her readers {and us} a super crafty (and practical!) project. Multi-Testing Mommy is a Canadian-based mommy blog, created by mommy of two Amanda, that focuses on sharing parenting and lifestyle tips, giveaways, DIY projects, and more! We sent our Imaginarium fabric to her, and she swiftly got crafty and inspired! Amanda created these fantastic microwavable beanbags using our fabric – how ingenious is that?!

These microwavable beanbags are the perfect accessory for our intensely cold winters here in Canada; you simply microwave the bags slightly and then slip them into your coat pockets to keep you warm! Great last-minute DIY Christmas gift idea for sewers. For something extra Amanda used essential oils in them, and they can also be used as cold packs.

Thank you so much Amanda for sharing this great tutorial with us and loving our fabrics! You can also check out more on Multi-Testing Mommy, as well as Amanda’s twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. Until next time, wishing everyone a fantastic rest of the day. The weekend is almost here!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Fall Quilt Market was a little whiles away, but we’ve still got the post-QM blues. We had an absolute blast at this year’s Quilt Market in Houston, and got to meet so many fantastic and creative people. Unpacking all our projects, chatting with new contacts, and scrolling through all our photos, we’ve been super inspired and cannot wait to share what’s to come from Camelot Fabrics! Our Quilt Market experience was definitely memorable, and we’re sharing them all with you today! :)

The Camelot Fabrics Booth! #booth1324

This was our stunning booth set-up at Quilt Market! We had all our designers’ collections as different panels with our creative and fun projects for each. As well, we featured some of our licensed fabrics (Star Trek, Star Wars, and Spider-Man), our new barware (more info coming soon!), introduced Jane Farnham (our newest designer), and our new lines. Our booth was vibrant and colorful, and showcased all our pretty fabrics perfectly.

How amazing is this tent with Allison Cole’s Birds of a Feather collection?!

We adored our Imaginarium set-up! Oh-so-cute!!
