Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. Today is National Mulled Cider Day…yum! And just perfect for the cooler weather, we definitely could use a mug of mulled cider this morning.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been busy expanding our Free Projects Program on our website, and have been getting such amazing responses from all of you. We thought we would share our newest additions, to our website, on the blog. Today we are featuring our Twist on Tradition Quilt by Larene Smith of The Quilted Button. This is a beautiful, whimsical, and scrappy-like quilt design that would work wonderfully for a baby’s nursery or as an accent quilt on a sofa. The wispy design makes this quilt look very intricate and exquisite, and we think it would be remarkable as wall decor. As well, it looks just fabulous with our Pastel Me More collection, making this quilt happy and popping.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Happy First of Fall everyone!! Taking a walk outside yesterday, it definitely smelled and felt like Fall…and we loved it – the crisp and cool air, the smell of fireplaces burning, and the wonderful crunching of leaves!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! We’re taking you back in time to a past featured tutorial, our Insulated Lunch Hamper, that so many of you absolutely adored. So many of you loved the idea of an insulated lunch hamper for your picnics, road trips, and outdoor school games & events. Because of the Spacetex insulation, you’ll be able to use the hamper for keeping cold drinks cool, and hot drinks…well you know, hot. There’s nothing more disappointing than drinking lukewarm hot cocoa on a frigid, Winter day.

We featured our Insulated Lunch Hamper with Mint Condition – a beautiful, soft mint & grey collection of floral, hexagonal, and dotted prints. This week, we are sharing our lunch hamper in a completely different collection, and absolutely love how it turned out as well.

Our What a Gem by Allison Cole for Camelot Fabrics collection is bright, popping, and modern with its stunning dream catcher, arrows, and succulents prints in eye-catching navy, coral, and emerald. It amps up our lunch hamper to new heights, making it super stylish and fresh. Even your teens will want to carry this hamper around, we guarantee it! And now you find the full, free tutorial of our Insulated Lunch Hamper in printable PDF form on our website – just click HERE to find the full instructions.

If you decide to give this tutorial a try, we would love to see! You will find all our Free Projects on our website, including our Insulated Lunch Hamper. You can always send your project pictures, of one of our DIYs or using one of our collections, to info@camelotfabrics.com. You could be featured in a future Fan Friday post! We hope everyone has a great first day of Autumn! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today is definitely the perfect day for a pumpkin spice latte and cuddling up in a thick, warm quilt. Whether we want it to come or not, Fall will be upon us in officially one week.

We have been excitedly getting prepared for Fall Quilt Market with our projects and other goodies, and can’t wait to share them with you all. For this week’s How To’s Day, we wanted to share with you one of our past, in-house free projects that so many of you enjoyed. Our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket is an easy patchwork blanket, that mimics the look of a quilt (without the need for advanced quilting skills). It’s adorable, cozy, and the perfect size to wrap your little nugget in. We had previously shared our tutorial on our blog with our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection, with the subdued blue and tan hues making our baby blanket soothing and comforting.

We decided to create a fun version of our baby blanket with our Girl Power II collection – the bright colors make this blanket POP! As well, our Girl Power II collection makes it awesome for any little superheroine-in-training with the Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl designs decorating the blanket. We love the idea of your little superheroine snuggled up in her favorite blanket, dreaming to her heart’s content on all the *super* things she wants to do, whether it be playing all day in the yard or having a tea party with all her favorite companions. And we know, all our Girl Power fellow enthusiasts will be loving this blanket just as much (if not, more!) than she does…

As mentioned, we had featured our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket as a DIY project on the blog, which you can find here. As well, we have a PDF version on our website that can be easily printed out for you to create. You can find it here, as well as our Free Projects Program.

We really hope you love our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket as much as we do! We’d love to know your thoughts. And if you get the chance to make your own version, we’d love to see. You can always send your project pictures to us at info@camelotfabrics.com or tag us on Instagram. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Neon & On FQB Giveaway this week, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our exclusive quilt designs from our Free Projects Program – our Chevron Arrows Quilt by From Marta With Love. Marta from From Marta With Love created this absolutely stunning, modern quilt for us that we absolutely adore – it’s an art piece in itself that can be showcased on your favorite couch or bed, or even to decorate a blank wall. We love the perpendicular feel of the chevron arrows, giving this quilt a unique and festive look that is perfect with both contemporary or more modern fabric designs.

We decided to use our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection and the striking blue hues look fantastic with this quilt. PS: Thank you Marta for the wonderful quilt design; you are such a talented designer and it’s been a pleasure collaborating with you. Be sure to check out more from Marta on her blog.

If you’d like to make your very own Chevron Arrows Quilt, you are in luck! Today we are showcasing the full, free tutorial on our blog…but you can also find the pattern PDF HERE. Click MORE to see the full tutorial!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone had a wonderful and restful long weekend. It was the perfect couple of days of beautiful weather and relaxation, the best way to start off September. We still can’t believe that we’re already into September, but excited for everything to come.

Starting off September with an awesome How To’s Day! There are still a few weeks left of Summer, so this week’s How To’s Day is perfect for soaking up those last couple of days of warm weather and greenery. Today we are featuring our Insulated Lunch Hamper Tutorial on the blog, a stylish and practical bag that would be fantastic for a last Summer picnic or beach day. But even as fall and winter rolls around, our Insulated Lunch Hamper can be used to keep all your hot food and drinks warm. Here’s to fun days in the snow, followed by delicious hot cocoa!

Our Insulated Lunch Hamper is insulated with our Spacetex, so it’s great for storing both hot and cold items. As well, the nylon is water-resistant so you can easily wipe away any condensation with a cloth. There are also three inner compartments, so there’s extra storage to organize your goodies. We used our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection, which we think looks super pretty and fresh with the crisp mint and grey designs. No more lugging around heavy picnic baskets or boring coolers – take our Insulated Lunch Hamper on your next romantic park picnic or kid’s hockey match, and you’ll be equally organized and trendy!
