Welcome!

Time for this week’s What We Love! ♥ Before the start of the “hustle and bustle” of the holiday season, we have been taking some time to relax and enjoy the pretty (and yummy!) things the season has to offer. This week, we have been intrigued by beauty artwork, enticing color palettes, and delicious holiday drinks, to keep our minds inspired and happy during the colder months. A fun day at the museum, followed by a warm drink sounds absolutely wonderful to us. Onto more of what we have loved most…

Marion: Haunted Forests by Betteo
Vanessa: MMFA’s Van Gogh to Kandinsky Exhibition; Franz Marc, Stables, 1913
Valeria: Sunshine / Lavender / Mint Color Palette
Juan: Rebel Alliance Guitars
Shannen: Spiced Chai Tea Latte

You can find even more prettiness on our Pinterest! We would love to know what you have been loving most this week. Stay warm and cozy! ♥

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having an awesome day so far. Sew Sisters Quilt Shop is hosting their annual Blogathon Canada and we are proud to be one of the sponsors. They are giving away our Kate FQ bundle as one of the prizes – the giveaway ends tomorrow so be sure to enter :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our incredible pattern designers, Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa is a wife and stay-at-home mommy of five by day, quilting enthusiast by night. Melissa and her family have moved several times across the country, but before the first move, she asked her mom to teach her how to quilt. She wanted a new hobby to keep her busy, and through it, found a new love. She began sewing baby blankets for her friends, and her passion for sewing only grew. She started Happy Quilting in 2010 and, soon after, started to design and sell her own quilt patterns.

We had the opportunity to collaborate with Melissa for our Free Projects Program, and Melissa created two fantastic projects for us. The first is our Hang Time Quilt (above in our Fresh Solids), which is a unique and modern cross quilt that features different fabric patterns and colorways perfectly. We love the intricacy of the design, which would make for a stunning quilt as a bedspread or wall decor.

As well, Melissa designed a Peaks and Valleys Table Runner for us which is a fun zig-zagged table runner that would add a bit of oomph to any coffee table or dining table decor. It looks so pretty in our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee Collection.

Thank you so much, Melissa, for the wonderful collaboration and for the gorgeous project patterns! We are excited for what’s to come. You can find the free PDF printouts for both of Melissa’s patterns here. As well, be sure to check out more from Melissa at Happy Quilting. As well, check out her Facebook Page, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Cheers to a great rest of the day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a splendid week so far. Only 35 more days till Christmas. It seemed as though this year has flew right by, and now we must start preparing for the holidays…not that we’re complaining though! ;)

It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s time to announce our Winsday winner! Last week we hosted our Fresh Solids FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, one that we were super excited to share with you all. We were so amazed by the wonderful replies of our new solid colors, and are so happy that you love them as much as we do. They are all so gorgeous and bright that we really wanted to know which was your favorite! We definitely can’t choose just one, so it was fun seeing which you liked best! :)

We could only choose one winner and since all your answers were our favorites, we chose a winner at random. The winner of our Fresh Solids FQ Bundle is…

Congratulations, Kelly Spell!! Yay, you are the winner of these lovely solids!! We hope you enjoy playing around with them. Please send you mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com by November 26th, 2014. And a big thank you to everyone who entered! Until the next Winsday…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. So much wind here today! The sun is out and there’s snow on the ground…but it’s freezing out there, so we’re glad to be inside. It’s the last day to enter our Fresh Solids Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. It’s a good one, guys!

And speaking of our Fresh Solids…this week’s How To’s Day features our stunning solids in our New Bohemian Quilt by Sarah Laws Made. Sarah Laws created a couple of wonderful exclusive free quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program, which we are so incredibly enthused to share with you. Sarah’s style is modern and fresh, characteristics that embody who we are at Camelot Fabrics so we were thrilled to work with such a creative pattern designer. Our New Bohemian Quilt is a quilt of triangles sewn together to create a really cool pattern of intricate details and geometric shapes. The colors from our Fresh Solids are vibrant and exuberant, and work perfectly together to create this boho-inspired design.

Our New Bohemian Quilt is a stunner, and would look amazing as a bedspread or even as wall decor. We love this one, and are so happy to have gotten to work with Sarah. Click MORE to see the full tutorial for this quilt!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! TGIF!! We woke up to some very light flurries this morning – they were like little, feathery sprinkles and were so pretty against the sunshine… And speaking of sunshine, have you entered our Fresh Solids Giveaway? We are giving away an FQ bundle of our Fresh Solids on our Facebook Page this week!

Time for this week’s Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring some incredibly beautiful items using our Nightfall Collection from Amanda Fair Designs. Two of Amanda’s biggest passions have always been sewing and fabric shopping, both of which she adores equally (but thankfully compliment one another perfectly). Amanda decided to take her hobbies to Etsy and opened up her own business called Amanda Fair Designs. Amanda Fair Designs is a collection of Amanda’s handmade, unique items that are beautifully crafted and made of the highest quality fabrics. They are her “perfectly imperfect handmade goods”. Amanda focuses on bags designs – from tote bags to clutches to tablet cases – that are all so equally pretty and stylish.

Amanda loves Camelot Fabrics, and has chosen some of our collections for her bags! She especially adores our Nightfall Collection, which she has used to design a couple of her bags.

Amanda loves the gold detailing of Nightfall, which makes for a beautiful zippered pouch or wristlet – perfect for dancing the night away! Along with our Nightfall Collection, Amanda has chosen correlating solids that add extra glam to her bags, such as a hot pink trim or ruffles!! One can never go wrong with pink, ruffles…or both ;) We’re also loving these adorable little pouches with our What a Gem Collection!

We want to thank Amanda for the fabric love! We are so thrilled you have used our collections for your bag designs; they are all so glamorous and stylish!! And your shop is so wonderful. Find more from Amanda at her Etsy Shop, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. And with that…have a great weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
