Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! We hope you are all having a wonderful mid-week. We’ve been busily prepping everything for Fall Quilt Market. Can’t believe it’s in two weeks!! PS: If you’ll be at Fall Quilt Market this year, be sure to stop by Booth #1824 – we’ve got so many fun things planned! :)

It’s time to announce the winner of this week’s Winsday! This week, we hosted a Hard Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page and wanted to know what you would create with the plethora of our pretty felt. Reading your comments, we loved seeing your creativity…and that we were the first you have heard of hard felt from. If any of you are familiar with using a silhouette machine or die-cuts, our hard felt is perfect for cutting out different shapes really easily for your crafting projects. The possibilities for using hard felt in your crafty projects are endless, and so many of you had really great ideas! We’re so happy that you loved the stack colors and prints that we chose for you.

But of course, we can only choose one lucky winner! We loved reading all the responses, but this week’s Winsday winner is…

Congratulations, Kristy Smith!! We are SO excited for you to receive our bundle of delectable hard felt, and can’t wait for you to create some amazing projects with them. Please send us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com before October 15th, 2014. And to everyone else, until next Winsday…. have a fantastic day!! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. It’s been a mix of weather these past couple of days – rain and sunshine periodically throughout the day – so it’s been a little difficult figuring out how to dress in the morning. That’s Fall weather for you, haha. Also if you haven’t entered our Felt Giveaway yet, be sure to enter here. It’s the last day, and we have been excitedly reading all your creative answers! :)

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! With the rush of Quilt Market, we have been busy with sewing up new and fun projects for our booth…and we cannot wait to share them with you all!! Today we have decided to feature one of our past tutorials, but in a different collection. Our Easy Pillow Slip tutorial has been previously shown here on the blog, with our Take Flight Collection. We loved the idea of an aviator-themed bedroom for a little pilot-in-training, complete with pillowcases decorated with planes, helicopters, and other fun flight gadgets.

Another kid-friendly collection, also from our wonderful Vita Mechachonis, is our Playground collection. Playground is, as the name suggests, all about having fun at your favorite outdoor jungle gym or park area. Filled with nostalgic playground rides, whimsical numbers, and fun coordinating prints in soft blue, tan, and orange hues…this collection reminds us of the carefree days spent playing outside with our school friends. Our Playground pillowcases are so easy to make, and are a unique way to add a bit of spunk to any little nugget’s bed.

You can find the full, free tutorial on our blog, as well as a printable PDF version on our website. If you decide to give this project a try, or any of our free DIYs, we would love to see! You can send all your project pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! TGIF!! We hope everyone had a wonderful first week of October. If you haven’t entered our Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page, be sure to head on over now. We are giving away 11 assorted sheets of our hard felt, and we are so excited for whoever wins this one. You can find lots of felt projects inspiration on our Pinterest.

It’s time to end another great with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring some wonderful projects featuring our What a Gem Collection, from Julie of Mackenzie Monroe. Mackenzie Monroe started from the need for a creative outlet. Interior designer by day, sewing enthusiast by night, Julie decided to channel her love for sewing in a fun way. She found a passion for sewing and fabrics in her seventh grade home economics class, a love that only sparked further in college and adulthood. Julie started Mackenzie Monroe in 2011, where she sells her beautiful creations – bags, totes, doggie accessories, and much more can be found at her shop. Julie also attends local craft markets where she also sells her lovely creations.

Julie loves fun and whimsical fabrics, and has chosen our What a Gem for some of her tote bags. They look so lovely, we just had to share them with you all!! She used our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection for the main print, choosing to highlight the prettiness of the designs against a canvas accent fabric. We think they look oh-so pretty, and would be beautiful everyday bags to carry your essentials…

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Julie!! We absolutely adore the bags and are so happy that you love our What a Gem collection. You can check out all of Julie’s creations at her Etsy Shop and Facebook Page. Have a fantastic weekend, friends!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are doing well today. If you haven’t seen yesterday’s post, we are hosting another Winsday this week. We are giving away 11 Assorted Sheets of our hard felt on our Facebook Page this week. Be sure to check it out and enter!

Time to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic fabric shop – Fabric Worm. Cynthia Mann, owner of Fabric Worm, has always been surrounded by craftiness, with her mum being an avid crafter and entrepreneur. As a little girl, she remembers picking out fabric with her mum to create matching dresses for her and her “Mandy and Jenny” dolls. Her mum has always been busy with her hands, making dough ornaments or sewing clothes, and is now an avid stamper and “Stampin’ Up” Representative. Inspired by mum, Cynthia also really loves to make handmade things but her choice is with pretty fabrics. She has two little boys and loves to make dinosaurs, robots and rocket ships, among other awesome boy things, for them!

Fabric Worm started online, as a small fabric Etsy Shop, and has now expanded to its own website and store. The definition of a ‘fabric worm’ is “a person devoted to fabric” and that is definitely the perfect representation of who they are, who we are, and who their followers are. Fabric Worm is also very active on social media, and has posted about their favorite collections. They have shared a couple of our collections (What a Gem, Let’s Go, and Playground), and the response from their fans was incredible!! It was so fun reading all the wonderful comments about our collections.

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Fabric Worm!! We really appreciate it. You can check out Fabric Worm on their website, Facebook Page, Twitter, Pinterest, blog, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!!
