Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!! We hope you are all having a great day. Today is March 14th…or 3.14! Physicist Larry Shaw took a look at the calendar, noticed the correlation between the day and π (3.1415…), and made the day official! The day has now been celebrated for 26 years…because I mean, who wouldn’t want a reason to celebrate and eat piE too! So, kick back and relax (it’s just about the weekend!), enjoy a piece of pie, and Happy Pi Day! :)

To end our week, we have our weekly Fan Friday for you all. Today we are sharing with you a project using our Gray Matters by Jackie McFee Collection. Nancy, from Cache Creek Quilts, absolutely loves all things quilt-related. Nancy began her love for the craft of quilting when her sons left home, and though she started sewing at a young age, got her passion for quilting from a friend and never turned back!

Nancy also has a blog where she shares her quilting projects and stories, as well as an Etsy shop to display her new creations. Along with quilting, Nancy does enjoy sewing other projects too, such as her potholders. She uses pretty floral and nature-inspired fabrics for her potholders, which can add a feminine flair to any kitchen display. Nancy loves our Gray Matters by Jackie McFee Collection and used our fabric for some potholders that she made. With Gray Matters, the potholders are fun and would make any kitchen décor more lively and bright!

You can check out all of Nancy’s creations at her Etsy Shop, Cache Creek Quilts, and follow her quilt stories on her blog. Thank you for sharing your beautiful project with us, and for loving our fabric!

If you have created a project with one of our fabric collections or using our Free Projects Program, please email us at info@camelotfabrics.com – You could be featured in a future Fan Friday post. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. We are getting excited for Saint Patrick’s Day next week, lots of crafty and green ideas stirring in the office :)

Today we’ve got a new project to share with you; it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been sharing lots of incredible quilts from our quilt designers on our website. All the quilts are beautiful, featuring our fabric collections perfectly, and they are free projects (including detailed instructions, diagrams, and patterns!). Be sure to check out all of our recent quilt designs!

This week’s How To’s Day is sharing with you a tutorial on a simple, but modern quilt design! This tutorial is such a great one for the beginner quilters because there aren’t too many pieces, the instructions are clear & concise, and the end result is a stunning quilt to call your own! :)

We used our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection for this quilt, which makes it very fresh, vibrant, and pretty. This would be the perfect quilt for snuggling up with a book on those cooler nights, to use as an esthetic piece to vamp up a room, or even as wall décor!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was Spring Forward yesterday, so although we will get the benefit of having more sunshine throughout the day…getting up to having lost an hour on Sunday was definitely not fun. Alas, this only means that Spring is coming soon! :)

Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Fox Friends by Allison Cole collection, from Winter 2014. Fox Friends is another one of our kid-friendly, novelty collections that we just absolutely adore!! The main hues in Fox Friends are pink, mint, red, and brown creating a very sweet and ethereal feel to the collection. The adorable foxes, friendly clouds, and gentle birds make this a very happy and quirky collection, perfect for all the tiny adventurers you know! Fox Friends would make the prettiest dresses and skirts, or a woodsy themed bedroom! Imagine some lovely curtains, pillows, or girly quilt with our Fox Friends collection…oh how cute right?!! You can check out the full collection here!

One fashion collection that is inspiring us this week is Calvin Klein’s  Spring 2014 RTW collection. The colors in his latest collection are soft and subtle, but with tiny splashes of color that make a statement. The main color palette of this collection is green hues, pinks, creams, and browns. The mixture of these soft colors are very springtime and vacation appropriate, with a very relaxed and beach-y feel.

We especially love this outfit, as well as this one and this one as they especially encapsulate the mood of Fox Friends. The feel of this collection and choices in hues reminds us of our Fox Friends by Allison Cole color palette. You can check out the full collection here.

Thank you so much for reading today’s Moody Monday post! We hope we have inspired you :) Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope you are all having a great end to the week. We are in our first week of March already! This weekend is Spring Forward…not looking forward to waking up an “extra” hour earlier on Sunday but very happy about more sunshine! Spring shouldn’t get too far along now, we hope! :)

Today is our Fan Friday blog post, and we are sharing a fun project with you all today. Fellow Canadian, Tiffany Skogan, is a stay-at-home mommy with a new baby boy and an avid crafter. She loves to create her own sewing projects, more specifically baby-inspired, and started to make these projects for herself and friends! All of her projects are soft and cuddly, and things that she uses on an everyday basis – but with an adorable twist!

Having gotten lots of positive feedback from her friends, she decided to open up a small Etsy Shop (BugInARugBC) to showcase her items around the world. Sewing and creating is a hobby and a passion for Tiffany, and it definitely shows in all the things she makes. She has now expanded her list of items to baby blankets, hooded towels, crayon rolls, strap covers, and lots of other baby essential items!

Tiffany absolutely adores our Imaginarium Collection, and used it for lots of her baby essential items. She shared some her favorites with us, and we definitely had to share them with all of you! We adore the strap covers and baby blanket with our Imaginarium fabric!!

Thank you so much, Tiffany, for sharing with us – We absolutely adore all your baby products! We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Fan Friday. Until next week, have a fantastic weekend everyone!! :)
