Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday…and Happy Halloween!! We hope everyone is having a ghoul-d day ;) We’ve got the Halloween spirit in the office today. Who says we can’t dress up and work? So much fun! We’re also hosting our Beyond the Backyard FQB x Westcott Giveaway on our Facebook, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet.

It’s also time to end another fun-filled week with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring an adorable project using one of our collections from the awesome blog, Say Chez. Jen Chesnick is the blogger behind Say Chez, the name sparked from her nickname “Chez” and thus became her trademark. Jen started her blog because of her love for sewing and pretty fabrics, and found blogging as an outlet to share her projects & DIYs. Apart from her love for sewing, Jen is also a scrapbooking and photography enthusiast. Jen features the projects she makes (including adorable clothing for her daughter!) and scrapbook designs on her blog.

Jen decided to create an adorable Tilly Top from Brownie Goose Patterns, and modified it slightly for her daughter. A recent discovery of how easy sleeves are to sew, Jen had so much fun with this tunic top pattern.She modified it slightly by closing the back, extending the bodice, and adding sleeves. Such a sweet touch, and the ruffles? That gets a “yes!” from us!

Jen used our Fairyville by Heather Rosas Collection to make her adorable tunic top, and we think it is just the sweetest thing ever. The girly fairy-filled prints are perfect for a little nugget who loves to be a girly-girl and play outdoors too. Her daughter is seriously the most adorable girl ever. She looks so cute in her Fairyville top. And we hope she loves her top as much as we do!!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Jen! We are so happy you love our Fairyville Collection, and thank you for sharing it with us! Her daughter rocking her tunic is seriously the cutest thing ever. You can find more from Jen at her blog, Say Chez, as well as on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a Happy Halloweeeeen everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love ♥ The cooler days and monochromatic colors have been inspiring us to be more creative by everyday experiences. Finding that inner childhood in all of us can be the best spark of creativity, whether reading nostalgic stories or dancing like no one is watching, sometimes it’s the simplest of things that can make the most happy. Take some time to be silly, eat that extra scoop of ice cream, and be your child self again. Here’s what’s been inspiring us this week… ♥

Vanessa: Taylor Swift’s 1989 Album
Valeria: Close Encounters by Invisible Creature
Marion: Texas
Shannen: Banana Pudding Tiramisu
Juan: Book Art

We hope you have been inspired by our What We Love this week! Be sure to check our Pinterest for more of our current Camelot Design Studio favorites. We’d love to know what you have been loving most! ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having an absolutely wonderful day so far. We launched our Fall 2014 Collections last week and all the responses have been so amazing!! We are so happy that you love all of our new collections, and can’t wait to see all the lovely projects created by you with them. If you haven’t seen all of our newest collections yet, you can read about them all on our blog. As well, check out our website for all the designs.

In the heart of our new collections, today’s How To’s Day is featuring one of them – Elixir by Camelot Design Studio. As well, we have launched a new quilt design for our Free Projects Program by one of our wonderful project designers, Anne Sullivan of Play Crafts, Our Festival Quilt is a stunner – it is so pretty and modern, and the perfect quilt for a couch spread or as well as wall decor. The diamond blocks give the illusion of being the foreground of the quilt, almost as if there is a 3-dimensional effect. Our Festival Quilt has a whimsical flair, the fabric pieces not perfectly equal or in any special order, which gives it a more intricate and fun look.

Our Festival Quilt looks so pretty with our Elixir Collection; the mint, grey, and navy hues working perfectly with one another in this quilt design. We love how the turquoise prints are used within the squares, which creates that modern 3-dimensional look. So, so pretty!

Want to make you very own Festival Quilt? We’ve got the free pattern and instructions for you! Click MORE to see the full tutorial for our Festival Quilt!

Hi everyone.

Happy Monday! It’s the last day of Fall Quilt Market, but there are still so many things to do and see. If you are going to be at Quilt Market today, be sure to stop by our booth #1824; come see our newest collections and beautiful project displays! We’d love to see you!! :)

We’re inspiring you with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our out-of-this-world collections – Outer Space by Vita Mechachonis for Camelot Fabrics. This collection is awesome for any little astronaut-in-training who wants to dream with the planets and stars. It’s the next best thing to the real universe! This collection features spaceships, astronauts, rocket ships, planets, stars, and more…and you want to know the best part? It’s glow-in-the dark!! This is an older collection of ours, but we do have our Ad-Fab™ in Outer Space Astronomy Lesson and our Outer Space Plush Fleece. These would make awesome projects for anyone who really loves all things outer space!

We absolutely loved See by Chloe’s Fall 2014 RTW collection of all things galactic! This collection featured bright, bold, and intricate details and patterns…including planet printed dresses and pants. Oh, how awesome!!

This whole collection stays true to the meaning of having fun with fashion. I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear an awesome pair of trousers with planet prints on it? This cool print reminded us of our Outer Space by Vita Mechachonis Collection, and we just had to share it with all our fellow space-enthusiasts.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday!! Have a fantastic rest of the day :)

Happy Sewing!
