Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday!! We hope everyone’s day has been great so far. It is absolutely freezing here today (thankfully we hadn’t put away our winter coats yet!), but at least the sunshine is out. We are bringing Spring to the office by decorating with all our beautiful, freshly cut flowers. If Mother Nature isn’t giving us Spring weather yet, we’re bringing it to ourselves haha! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. We are excitedly preparing for some Easter festivities here at the office, including a fun Easter egg hunt and pastel washi tape wall décor. We’re excited!! And to those who celebrate, Happy First Day of Passover! :)

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a fantastic project for you all, just in time for all the upcoming Spring celebrations. We love celebrating anything, but there is nothing as pretty as a springtime tea party infused with all things colorful and bright…and of course, lots of fresh florals all around!

With the amount of celebrations we have throughout the year, we are always up for the challenge of decorating to our heart’s content! We love crafty and DIY parties, and we always find a ton of inspiration on our Pinterest. The project we are sharing today, our Square Bunting Banner Tutorial, is perfect for any occasion or party – it is simple, but adds the perfect amount of punch to any décor, especially with our Neon & On Collection. And because this is made from fabric, it can be reused for multiple occasions, and can be used later on to decorate a bedroom!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Let’s start off this week on a positive note! And in keeping with that theme, the weather seems to be cooperating with us today. We are supposed to be getting up to 23°C in temperature – definitely no complaining here! :)

Let’s start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with a pretty and springtime appropriate collection, our Theodore & Izzy Collection by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio. Theodore & Izzy is a very girly and feminine collection, decorated with lovely pastel florals, bees, and honey bears. This collection is sweet and gentle, perfect for a newborn’s nursery – imagine a matching crib comforter, bed skirt, rail protector, and curtains with Theodore & Izzy in a honey themed room! Complete the room with a couple of bear plush friends, a friendly bee mobile, & a cozy baby quilt and it will be the sweetest room for any little honey bear to grow up in :) This collection reminds us of all the things we are especially looking forward to in Spring such as walks to the park, weekend picnics, and tea parties!

And keeping in theme with all things pretty and sweet (in every best way!), celebrations are coming up too! That means fun Easter crafts, exciting Easter egg hunts, and of course all the delicious food to celebrate Passover and Easter! What better place to get all your inspiration from than at the Martha Stewart website – the epitome of all things yummy, creative, and pretty! It is the one-stop place for every sort of crafting or party-planning idea, from baby showers to holidays to girl’s night in!

Recently, Martha Stewart posted some Passover recipes, and for dessert no less (our favorite!). We cannot wait to try the chocolate cake with espresso glaze and matzo s’mores – um, yum!! She has also got you covered with her Passover entertaining tips. For Easter, she has shared some egg-cellent ideas on everything egg-related, from decorating hard-boiled eggs to egg recipes. Be sure to check that out too here! We are very much inspired, and egg-cited to start our own holiday party. Thanks, Martha! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired. You can check out our Theodore & Izzy by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio collection here. Have  an egg-static (haha last egg pun for today, promise!) rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! It is such a beautiful day out, and we are feeling reenergized and great! Today is also National Pet Day so be sure to give your pets some extra lovin’ (…and a couple of extra treats too!)

When we aren’t finding inspiration on Pinterest, you can most often find us perusing Instragram – We LOVE coming across projects using our fabric collections! If you upload one, be sure to tag all your CF fabric projects with the hashtag #CamelotFabrics so that we can find them!! Seeing them always make our day :)

To end another fantastic week, we have our Fan Friday to share with you. Julie Mylander of the Quilty Sewing Blog created a Lil Monster Quilt with our Monster Mash by Heather Rosas Collection that is just the sweetest! When we saw this Lil Monster Quilt on Instagram, we got SO excited here in the office!!

Julie created this quilt for a co-worker’s niece who is having a baby boy, and decided to go with our Monster Mash Collection to fit the lil monster-themed nursery. Super cute!! She decided on a nine patch patchy 39″ x 46″ quilt design, and all the colors look fantastic together ! The monsters make this a perfect quilt for a baby boy, and it will look great in the nursery!

Thank you so much for letting us share your wonderful quilt, Julie! We are so happy that you enjoyed using our Monster Mash Collection. Congratulations to the mommy-to-be; we hope she and her baby boy will enjoy this Lil Monsters Quilt as much as we adore it. You can find out more on Julie’s blog here. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. It’s rainy and dreary here today, but you know what they say…April Showers bring May Flowers! But for now, to brighten our day we still have our Bright Now Giveaway going on! Today is the last day to enter, so if you haven’t yet – be sure to here!

Today we are bringing to you another stunning quilt tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day! The quilt design we are sharing with you is Quilt Bars by Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis – a simplistic, yet fresh and versatile quilt that works with a multitude of different fabric designs.

The clean cut lines of this quilt design by Tammy give a very modern and geometrically pleasing look, perfect to showcase coordinating fabric colors and patterns. For this tutorial, we have used our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection and the mint & grey patterns compliment each other perfectly in this quilt!

This would be a great quilt to gift, for both genders and any age! We can imagine this quilt with some soft pastels for a “baby’s first quilt” or this quilt in dark navy hues for a boy quilt. So many possibilities! You can get the PDF version of this tutorial on our website, in the our Free Projects Program section, but today we are going to share the tutorial with you on the blog. Be sure to also check out Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis, as well as her Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Etsy!
