Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is bundled up and warm today – it’s another chilly one for us. As well, it’s the last day to enter our Elixir FQB Giveaway! You can enter here.

It’s time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing one of our projects from our Free Projects Program. One of our pattern designers, Kristy Daum, created a beautiful quilted pillow pattern for us called Around the Block. Create a couple of these pillows to add a pretty and modern flair to any bedroom or living space, and you will be living in a comfortable paradise! We love our Elixir Collection with this pillow too, the collection that we just so happen to be giving away this week! As usual, Kristy created an easy to work with and beautiful pillow pattern for us…thank you, Kristy :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a brilliant end to the week. Know what we’re craving today? Flaky, buttery croissants. YUM! And it just so happens to be National Croissant Day. So down for one, or some, haha. We are also hosting our Elixir FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so you can enter here.

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a darling quilt we found on Instagram by Jessica Ewing of Always a Crafty Lady. Jessica started her blog, Always a Crafty Lady, at the start of 2015 – a goal to share her handmade projects & inspirations, after seeing the tag “A Year of Making” going around on Instagram. From quilts to clothing for her adorable girls, Jessica shares her passion for handmade items on her blog and gives her experience/tips with each project.

Jessica chose our Fairyville Collection for her super sweet Fairies Quilt that she made as a nap blanket for her daughter. She used a quilt pattern she found on Cluck Cluck Sew. It was also her first time machine quilting, first time binding a quilt, and first time sewing with minky. And the best part? Her daughter adores it!! She also made a second quilt using another of our Heather Rosas’ collections, Folklore.

We are so in love with your Fairies Quilt, Jessica, and are so glad you love our Fairyville Collection. You can check more from Jessica on her blog and Instagram. And if you’re loving our Fairyville Collection, you can check it out here. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a lovely day…TGIF!! To kickstart the weekend, have you entered our Paddington Bear Giveaway yet? Enter to win 3 1/2 yards of our Paddington Bear Collection. It’s the North American premiere of the movie in theaters today, so we’re super excited about that too!

Ending the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an amazing quilt done by the super talented Katy J that we spotted on Instagram. She has always been a sewing enthusiast, doing something crafty everyday whether it be something for herself, for a gift, or for custom items. She had opened an Etsy Shop for her creations, but has taken a break from it. She sews all sorts of things from quilts, baby quilts, table runners, camera strap covers, to passport and bi-fold wallets. And, she shares her new items on her Facebook Page.

Katy’s husband is an Army pilot and, being inspired by him, has sewn almost 40 Fly Army Baby Quilts in the past four years. She had recently found our Take Flight Collection at a local fabric shop, and was so thrilled by our helicopter prints. When we saw the Take Flight quilt on Instagram, we got SO excited!!

It is an absolutely stunning quilt – the reds, blues, and yellows vibrant and cheery, and would make any future pilot-in-training very happy!! You did such a wonderful job, Katy! :)

Thank you so much, Katy, for the fabric love! We are so happy to have found you and your Take Flight on Instagram, and thank you for letting us share. You can find more from Katy on her Instagram, Facebook, and Etsy. And if you have created a project using one of our collections, we’d love to see. You can send all of your pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com and you could be one of our future Fan Fridays! Have a lovely weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a great day so far. Have you entered our Paddington Bear Giveaway yet? We are giving away some Paddington Bear fabric in the heart of the movie coming out tomorrow!! Be sure to check it out and enter on our Facebook Page.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our project designers, Sarah of Sarah Laws Made. Sarah is a modern quilter and artist from Portland, who absolutely adores all things creative and beautiful. She works from her home studio, and works in different mediums that allow her to let her creativity shine. She adores all things fresh and modern, which definitely shows in her project designs – screen-printing, quilting, and becoming a chocolatier are only some of her many talents. She shares her wonderful creations on her blog, Sarah Laws Made, and also on her Etsy Shop.

We were able to collaborate with the talented Sarah on a couple of quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. We adored Sarah’s unique and funky style, and her quilt patterns definitely reflected that. Her first quilt, New Bohemian, is an intricate quilt design of squares and triangles that make up the coolest of patterns. We absolutely love how it looks with our Fresh Solids Collection, the bright colors going so well with one another.

The Diamond Emblem Quilt is definitely a favorite! The design is different and geometric, and looks so pretty with our Peacock Garden Collection. Both of these quilts would look fantastic in a modern bedroom or living room, either as a bed spread or even wall decor. How fabulous would these quilts look in a fun, boho-inspired room? Absolute gorgeousness!

We are so thrilled that we got to work with Sarah, and cannot wait for what’s to come in the future! At Camelot Fabrics, we have a unique style and think that Sarah’s designs are perfect representations of it. Thank you for the stunning quilt designs, Sarah!! You can find the free patterns for these projects on our website. You can also check out more from Sarah on her blog, Etsy, and Flickr. Have an inspired day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a great day thus far. Today we woke up to a breezy -26C, with a windchill of -36C. Hello frozen face, frozen legs, and frozen toes. Oh man, it was NOT pleasant to be walking out there.

But we’re warming things up with some love today, with our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our project designers, Cindy of Quilt Doodle Designs. Cindy has always been a sewing enthusiast, having been encouraged by her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She learnt about sewing and quilting as a small child, and her love for the craft has only blossomed into adulthood. Cindy has been doing some quilt sketches before a quilt retreat, when the idea to bring “sketches to life”, with creating her own patterns, came to life! She started Quilt Doodle Designs to offer her fun and whimsical quilt patterns and appliques to a wide array of skilled quilters. Cindy now offers a multitude of different quilt patterns, in correlation with her quilt blog adventures & BOMs.

We had the pleasure of working with Cindy to create a free, exclusive quilt pattern for our Free Projects Program. We absolutely adore her Flower Power Quilt because it is unique and soso pretty. We love the flower appliques, and think it looks wonderful with our Petite Plume Collection. Such a whimsical and creative quilt design! You can find the free pattern for Flower Power on our website here.

Thank you SO much Cindy for the wonderful quilt design. You can find more from Cindy on her website and blog. She is also on Craftsy and Pattern Spot. Be sure to check out Flower Power and all of our other free projects too. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
