Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. We are excitedly preparing for some Easter festivities here at the office, including a fun Easter egg hunt and pastel washi tape wall décor. We’re excited!! And to those who celebrate, Happy First Day of Passover! :)

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a fantastic project for you all, just in time for all the upcoming Spring celebrations. We love celebrating anything, but there is nothing as pretty as a springtime tea party infused with all things colorful and bright…and of course, lots of fresh florals all around!

With the amount of celebrations we have throughout the year, we are always up for the challenge of decorating to our heart’s content! We love crafty and DIY parties, and we always find a ton of inspiration on our Pinterest. The project we are sharing today, our Square Bunting Banner Tutorial, is perfect for any occasion or party – it is simple, but adds the perfect amount of punch to any décor, especially with our Neon & On Collection. And because this is made from fabric, it can be reused for multiple occasions, and can be used later on to decorate a bedroom!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Let’s start off this week on a positive note! And in keeping with that theme, the weather seems to be cooperating with us today. We are supposed to be getting up to 23°C in temperature – definitely no complaining here! :)

Let’s start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with a pretty and springtime appropriate collection, our Theodore & Izzy Collection by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio. Theodore & Izzy is a very girly and feminine collection, decorated with lovely pastel florals, bees, and honey bears. This collection is sweet and gentle, perfect for a newborn’s nursery – imagine a matching crib comforter, bed skirt, rail protector, and curtains with Theodore & Izzy in a honey themed room! Complete the room with a couple of bear plush friends, a friendly bee mobile, & a cozy baby quilt and it will be the sweetest room for any little honey bear to grow up in :) This collection reminds us of all the things we are especially looking forward to in Spring such as walks to the park, weekend picnics, and tea parties!

And keeping in theme with all things pretty and sweet (in every best way!), celebrations are coming up too! That means fun Easter crafts, exciting Easter egg hunts, and of course all the delicious food to celebrate Passover and Easter! What better place to get all your inspiration from than at the Martha Stewart website – the epitome of all things yummy, creative, and pretty! It is the one-stop place for every sort of crafting or party-planning idea, from baby showers to holidays to girl’s night in!

Recently, Martha Stewart posted some Passover recipes, and for dessert no less (our favorite!). We cannot wait to try the chocolate cake with espresso glaze and matzo s’mores – um, yum!! She has also got you covered with her Passover entertaining tips. For Easter, she has shared some egg-cellent ideas on everything egg-related, from decorating hard-boiled eggs to egg recipes. Be sure to check that out too here! We are very much inspired, and egg-cited to start our own holiday party. Thanks, Martha! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired. You can check out our Theodore & Izzy by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio collection here. Have  an egg-static (haha last egg pun for today, promise!) rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. It’s rainy and dreary here today, but you know what they say…April Showers bring May Flowers! But for now, to brighten our day we still have our Bright Now Giveaway going on! Today is the last day to enter, so if you haven’t yet – be sure to here!

Today we are bringing to you another stunning quilt tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day! The quilt design we are sharing with you is Quilt Bars by Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis – a simplistic, yet fresh and versatile quilt that works with a multitude of different fabric designs.

The clean cut lines of this quilt design by Tammy give a very modern and geometrically pleasing look, perfect to showcase coordinating fabric colors and patterns. For this tutorial, we have used our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection and the mint & grey patterns compliment each other perfectly in this quilt!

This would be a great quilt to gift, for both genders and any age! We can imagine this quilt with some soft pastels for a “baby’s first quilt” or this quilt in dark navy hues for a boy quilt. So many possibilities! You can get the PDF version of this tutorial on our website, in the our Free Projects Program section, but today we are going to share the tutorial with you on the blog. Be sure to also check out Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis, as well as her Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Etsy!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday everyone!! We hope you all had a restful weekend. It’s starting to feel like springtime here, and we cannot wait for all the pretty blooms! To add some glisten to your day, have you entered our Bright Now Giveaway on Facebook yet? Giveaway winner will be announced this Wednesday! :)

To start off another great week, we have our Moody Monday to inspire you. Today we are going to share with you our DC Comics Originals moodboard. Our DC Comics Originals collection is the ultimate fabric line for all the DC comics enthusiasts who also love to sew (…or know of someone who can hehe!). This collection brings together all of your favorite DC comics characters – Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Flash – in a multitude of vibrant and dynamic designs and prints.

We picture a fun quilt with this collection, as well as t-shirt patches of each DC comic character, and a modern bag design! The possibilities are endless, and can fit the style of all DC Comics fans of all ages everywhere!! You can check out the full collection here.

The DC movie Superman vs. Batman, set to launch in 2016, has been getting a lot of buzz lately on the storyline…and more importantly, who will be playing who! DC Comics has not yet released any set plot information to the public yet, but from the title we can assume there will be a storyline focused on the two superheroes in some way. DC Comics has released most of the actors and actresses set to play the superheroes: Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. This film will include all your favorite DC Comics characters, just like in our fabric collection!

There has been lots of discussion amongst fans on the chosen parts, namely Batman and Wonder Woman – What do you think about the chosen cast? We are SUPER excited for this movie to launch – We are happy with the cast members and cannot wait to see the movie ourselves. We cannot wait for all the action and drama, we know it’s going to be an amazing movie! :)

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! Remember, you are all superheroes in your own right :) “Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman…then always be Batman”. Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday everyone! We hope you are having a great day – the sunshine is out, the snow is melting, and we are feeling inspired! Have you entered our Bright Now Giveaway yet? We are giving away this lovely fabric stack on our Facebook page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet! :)

Today is this week’s Thankful Thursday! We have gotten the opportunity to work with so many creative and inspiring people, and today we are thanking someone who is definitely those two things…and much, much more! Today we are thanking one of our quilt designers, Vanessa Fromm of Fabric Confetti.

Vanessa Fromm was an avid sewer from the beginning! As a child, she shared her love for sewing with her grandmother, started to make her own clothing in junior high & high school, and even sewed her own prom dress! How amazing!! After finishing her higher education (by getting a BFA degree in medical illustration and an MBA), she began her career as a middle school English teacher. But even so, her love for sewing remained and Vanessa started getting into quilting again, and eventually machine appliqué. She started Fabric Confetti™, a business dedicated to quilt patterns, fabric appliqué designs, and yes of course – fabric confetti!

We had the privilege of partnering with Vanessa to create an exclusive quilt design for us! Vanessa created a stunning and modern Chevron Quilt for us with our What’s Cookin’ by Allison Cole Collection. The Chevron Quilt is free to download on our website, and can be found here! :)

Vanessa has such a clean and fresh design esthetic that we adore, and fits perfectly with us at Camelot Fabrics. Thank you so much, Vanessa, for creating a wonderful quilt design for us. We are very thankful for your partnership, and are very excited for all the future endeavors to come! You can find Vanessa’s patterns (and more!) on her website, Facebook, and Twitter. Vanessa is will also be at Spring Quilt Market this year (Booth 2049) – We hope to see you there!

Happy Sewing!
