Camelot Fabrics: Diamond Sparkle Quilt by The Quilted Button

 

Today we are featuring one of our quilt designs for this week’s How To’s Day. Larene Smith, from The Quilted Button, designed this sweet baby quilt called Diamond Sparkle. You can use any fabric of your choice, but we think this quilt looks especially darling with our Dream a Little Dream Collection by Heather Rosas. Today we thought we’d provide a step-by-step on how to create your very own Diamond Sparkle Quilt – the perfect blanket for all the little ones you know!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Monday! We hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend. Today is the epitome of a Winter Wonderland here; soft and fluffy pure white snow – so pretty to look (from indoors at least…it’s a bit chilly!). It’s definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Be sure to check out all our past DIY projects for some amazing gift ideas, as well as the following How To’s Days. We’ve got some crafty and fun ideas ahead for you!

 

“Oh, Christmas isn’t just a day, it’s a frame of mind… and that’s what’s been changing. That’s why I’m glad I’m here, maybe I can do something about it” – Kris Kringle, Miracle on 34th Street.

 

It’s also time for another Holiday question! Today’s question is: Tell us about your favorite Christmas gift. Please let us know in the comments below!

I’d say mine would be a doll I had seen at a local, artisan show. I was around 8 or 9 and was starting to “question” the existence of Santa Clause. I only told my parents that I loved the doll when we had left, and thought to myself that if Santa Clause was truly real I would receive the doll for Christmas. Come Christmas morning, my sister and I ran down the stairs to see Santa’s signature wrapping paper and note, and giddily started to open presents when my parents awoke. I will always remember the exact feeling unwrapping one particular gift; a mix of amazement, shock, and complete bliss. I had received the doll from the artisan fair, and in that moment knew I should never of doubted Santa. Even though I am older now, that memory will always remind me of the true magic of Christmas. Let’s read our Design Studio team’s stories:

Marion: My favorite Christmas gift was given to me by my sister-in-law. It is a second or third-hand complete works of Shakespeare. It is a massive, dog-eared, tiny-printed book. She wasn’t sure if I would like it because some people may get offended by secondhand gifts, but that’s what made it all the more awesome – because it has history.

Valeria: There really is not much of a story behind the gift, aside from it being completely amazing: The Hawaiian Barbie and Tropical Hut!

Juan: A handmade, wooden bus that I received when I was a little boy. It is my favorite because I know the guy who made it and I would tell him that I wanted one of my own. On that Christmas morning, I was so excited when I saw my very own wooden bus under the tree!

Shannen: My Grandmother loved to knit & when she passed away, my dad received 5 homemade knitted afghans. When I was young, they were my favorite blankets to cuddle up with. Last year, my dad me one of these afghans to pass onto the next generation. It was a (happy) emotional moment with my family that I will never forget.

 

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are sharing with you our Dream a Little Dream by Heather Rosas moodboard. Dream a Little Dream is a charming and sweet collection of little forest animals and night-themed wonders. With it’s soft and muted pastel color palette, it  is another perfect collection for a baby’s nursery…boy or girl! The adorable moons and stars make for wonderful inspirations for kiddies to dream their little hearts out…no dream is too big or impossible to achieve.

Dream a Little Dream is a mixture of pastel and darker hues, but yellows and blues are prominent amidst the collection. A fun kids collection is reminiscent of this color palette was one seen at the Vogue Bambini’s Miss Blumarine Jeans x ki6 NYC show. There was a full array of colors and textures at the show, but the navy and mustard outfits especially stood out to us and reminded us of the hues in Dream a Little Dream. The collection was overall very feminine and sweet; you can check out the full collection here.

 

Thank you for reading another Moody Monday! We hope it has inspired you for this upcoming, wonderful week. Have a great one!
