Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! We hope you all are doing great. If you missed yesterday’s post, we shared our stunning Color Block Pillow Tutorial – complete with fun tassels! You can find the full, free tutorial and patterns here.

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to announce our Winsday winner! Last week, we hosted a collaborative giveaway with May Arts Ribbon for our No-Sew Pillow Cover Kit. The prize included the three things you need to create a gorgeous pillow cover – the pattern, 3 yards of our Wildflowers fabric, and some gorgeous May Arts Ribbon. Because Spring is soon approaching us, we thought it would be fun to add some fresh blooms to our week…

This week, we asked you what your favorite flower was. This question definitely brought up our spirits in the office, and made us so happy. We loved seeing the mix of beautiful flowers in the comments, with our personal favorites being daisies, dahlias, and sunflowers! But of course, we could only choose one winner. The winner of this week’s Winsday is…

Congratulations, Leona Mader!! We are so incredibly excited for you! We hope you enjoy the pretty fabric and ribbon, and enjoy creating some lovely No-Sew Pillow Covers with them. Please email us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com by March 11th, 2015. And, a HUGE thank you to May Arts Ribbon for collaborating with us – the best is yet to come with them, and we can’t wait!! Thank you to everyone who entered this week’s Winsday. Don’t worry, lots more to come! Until next Winsday…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Hope you all are having a lovely day. And today is IHOP’s annual National Pancake Day! So if you’re able to head on over to an IHOPs, be sure to get your pancakes on. Deliciousness in the tummy, and for an amazing cause! It’s also the last day to enter our May Arts Ribbon x Wildflowers Collection Giveaway.

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a tutorial for a modern and striking pillow, our Color Block Pillow by Marion of Made By Marion. The color block design is very clean looking; three colors can be chosen to create a coordinating look, so you can have fun mixing and matching! And, the tassel details are just too fun – they add that extra bit of flair and uniqueness. This gorgeous Color Block Pillow is perfect as a colorful accent piece to any room. Scatter a couple of our Color Block Pillows onto a daybed, in different color combinations, and you’ll have yourself a vibrant place for reading (or napping!).

Are you as obsessed with our Color Block Pillow as we are? It’s a beauty. Click MORE to see the full tutorial. Have fun creating!! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! And, Happy March everyone!! Wow, we can’t believe it’s already the beginning of March. Here’s to a month of new beginnings, new adventures, and warmer weather. As well, we’re hosting our No-Sew Pillow Cover Kit Giveaway (in collaboration with May Arts Ribbon) this week, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter.

It’s time to kick off this month right, with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our Winter 2015 Collections, The Kitten’s Meow by Heather Rosas for Camelot Fabrics. The Kitten’s Meow is one of our most adorable collections ever, complete with friendly kittens, butterflies, pretty florals, and hearts in a mint, amethyst, and grey color palette. So sweet and precious, The Kitten’s Meow is the perfect collection for our fellow girly, kittie-enthusiasts. We adore the idea of a playful kittie circle skirt or headband, so proudly show off your love for kittens and pastels!

Wildfox’s Fall 2014 Runway Collection was on point! Wildfox is known for their funky slogans, raglan sweatshirts, and grunge-feel lounge wear. Their Fall 2014 Collection definitely encompassed this, with their awesome “Mr. Darcy” t-shirts, loose knit sweaters, tasseled cardigans, and pretty florals. We also have a love affair for their sheep print. Too cute! We also adore their heavy use of toile, in spring pastel blues and pinks. It was reminiscent of our toile print in our The Kitten’s Meow Collection. So pretty and light! You can also check out the full Wildfox Fall 2014 Collection here.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what outfit was your favorite from the Wildfox Collection. Also, have a peep at the rest of our The Kitten’s Meow Collection for lots more adorable-ness. Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a great day so far. We’re hosting another Winsday this week, our No-Sew Pillow Cover Kit including May Arts Ribbon and our Wildflowers Collection. You can enter on our Facebook Page here.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our fantastic pattern designers, Joanne Hillestad of The Fat Quarter Gypsy. We have previously featured Joanne in a Thankful Thursday, but we wanted to share some new, fabulous projects that Joanne had been working on. And, we’re also introducing an honorary member to The Fat Quarter Gypsy – her son! Joanne’s son designed a pattern for our Free Projects Program, and we think that he is the coolest ever. On top of that, his quilt is just as amazing!

Inspired by Star Wars, his “The Force” Quilt includes a lightsaber-esque pattern to create a super neat look. Our “The Forces” Quilt definitely looks fantastic in our Star Wars Collection, but we think it will look great in a modern collection too (ie. Gypsy Lane). You can create your very own “The Forces” Quilt – find the free PDF printout here. A big thank you to Joanne’s son! 

Another fun project is one of Joanne’s latest quilt designs – Sweet Ups and Downs. This beautiful quilt is a chevron pattern, with a chevron-ed edge that we are in love with. Such a stunning look! The pattern also includes two different sizes, twin and baby-sized, so lots of options to create. Joanne made a Sweet Ups and Downs in our Design Studio Collection, and it’s really just so pretty. We love the contrast between the black and blue in the chevron design!

Thank you so much for sharing it with us, Joanne, and for choosing our collection!And thank you to Joanne’s son for the fantastic design. We’re predicting even more design amazing-ness for you! You can find the “The Forces” Quilt printout PDF here. As well, you can also find out more from The Fat Quarter Gypsy on her website, blog, and Facebook. Have a lovely day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
