Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

A little quote inspiration for today: “Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint on it you can” – Danny Kaye

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday post, and today we are taking the time to thank Michelle from Hypernoodle! A little bit on Michelle and Hypernoodle: Michelle started a Etsy shop dedicated to her love for fabric, and being able to share unique and on-trend fabrics with other fabric-enthusiasts. The once small Etsy shop quickly expanded, and Michelle has since been able to add many more incredible fabric lines to her shop, even launching her own website. With it, she also has a blog and Etsy shop dedicated to her handmade treasures. Camelot Fabrics is honored to be one of the fabric lines featured in her shop!

We’ve had a great bond with Hypernoodle, and for this past Fall Quilt Market Michelle sewed a stunning project for us. She used a darling Pleated Ruffle Coat pattern from Amelie & Henri Patterns using our Design Studio Collection fabric, and it was definitely a “wow” piece! Any little girl would feel like a true princess in this coat. Thank you so much, Michelle, for the beautiful piece. As well, Hypernoodle & ‘Maureen Cracknell Handmade had hosted a giveaway with bundles of our fabric at the beginning of November (over now!) but we wanted to also thank her for that. We always love reading what people think about our designs!

Thank you so much Michelle for being the most amazing Camelot Fabrics cheerleader, we really appreciate your kindness and enthusiasm so very much. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Thankful Thursday. Be sure to check out Hypernoodle and Michelle’s Etsy shop! You can also find her on Facebook.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a brilliant day. It’s time for us to announce the winner of our Birds of a Feather giveaway. Allison Cole designed a stunning fabric collection, and we are so glad you all enjoy it too. We were absolutely amazed and tickled by all the original project comments, and had so much fun perusing through all the ideas. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this giveaway; we sure have a lot of creative readers! But alas, only one person will be receiving this week’s fantastic FQ bundle. Be sure to check next week’s Winsday for another giveaway!

But now, it is time. The winner of our Birds of a Feather giveaway is… Louise Horler!

There were so many creative project ideas, but we thought Louise’s idea of using the fabric to create feathers for bird wings was ingenious! Her two children will look just darling in them. Please be sure to send us pictures of the finished project; we would love to see! Congratulations, Louise. Please send us your mailing address at info@camelotfabrics.com

Once again, thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway! There are still lots more opportunities to come, so be sure to stay tuned! We post 5 days a week on our blog, each day with a different theme, that we hope can give you some daily inspiration. Until next Winsday…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a super, fantastic day. The season of holidays is coming up, and with the holidays come lots and lots of parties and reasons to celebrate. Of course we aren’t ones to complain; trust us, we love a good party, but we appreciate any way to make party planning a little easier (and a little more cost-effective!).

For toaday’s How To’s Day post, we are sharing with you our Chalkboard Fabric Banner Tutorial, using our chalkboard fabric. Now you can host a multitude of parties, while changing up the same banner…how awesome is that? Let’s get sewing!
