Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. We are getting excited for Saint Patrick’s Day next week, lots of crafty and green ideas stirring in the office :)

 

 

Today we’ve got a new project to share with you; it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been sharing lots of incredible quilts from our quilt designers on our website. All the quilts are beautiful, featuring our fabric collections perfectly, and they are free projects (including detailed instructions, diagrams, and patterns!). Be sure to check out all of our recent quilt designs!

This week’s How To’s Day is sharing with you a tutorial on a simple, but modern quilt design! This tutorial is such a great one for the beginner quilters because there aren’t too many pieces, the instructions are clear & concise, and the end result is a stunning quilt to call your own! :)

We used our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection for this quilt, which makes it very fresh, vibrant, and pretty. This would be the perfect quilt for snuggling up with a book on those cooler nights, to use as an esthetic piece to vamp up a room, or even as wall décor!

Happy Tuesday! Whew – we made it past the middle of February, and you know what that means – it’s time to be thinking about spring! Ah, spring … sunshine, longer days, bees buzzing among the flowers.

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. Keeping in the theme of Valentine’s day week, we’ve made super cute felt mailboxes and had a mini card exchange today. We are spreading positive, heart-filled vibes in the office ♥ It’s also the last day for our Betty Boop FQ bundle giveaway! :)

 

We’ve also got another Valentine’s day treat for you! Today we are sharing an uber-cute DIY Valentine’s day dual tutorial: Our Conversation Hearts Banner & Valentine’s Gift Tag!! We recently launched our Ad-Fab™ (learn more about it here!) and wanted to share one of the many ways you can use it. Super easy to work with, mess-free, and perfect for all your crafting needs!

We used our chalkboard fabric and Ad-Fab™ for the pretty and sweet hearts, making a fun banner for any upcoming Valentine’s Day party! Spread some love by writing all the things you like best about your friends and loved ones with chalk or chalkboard markers onto our banner, and then re-use it for your next event! Include our Valentine’s gift tags with your presents, and your guests will also have a tag they can reuse again too! Now you will be all set and ready to celebrate with our holiday inspired DIY projects ♥

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having an excellent day. We’ve been hearing that an ice storm is heading East, crossing our fingers that we are not affected, but to those who are – stay safe and stay warm!! :)

 

Love is in the air!! Valentine’s Day is officially in 10 days, and we are super inspired here in the office…hearts all around! Today we’ve got a How To’s Day for you that is perfect in time for the day of love ♥

 

Imagine you and your one true love singing along to “She Will Be Loved” in the car, swimming together in an aquarium fish tank, and finishing the blissful day by carving your initials into a big, oak tree together…how indescribably romantic would that be? And while we all can’t be living through a Nicholas Sparks book, we definitely know of some stories that come pretty close. We’ve also got a DIY tutorial that is almost just as romantic and everlasting as carving a real, oak tree. Today we are sharing with you our “Love Your Forever” Tree Trunk Plush Tutorial!

 

"Love You Forever" Tree Trunk Bolster - Free DIY from Camelot Fabrics

 

Our “Love You Forever” Tree Trunk Plush is the perfect gift for this upcoming Valentine’s Day, or for any day you want to show the one you love how much you love them. We used our Frolicking Forest Collection, mimicking that true wood feel that you can keep forever. Stitch the initials of you and your loved one, or anyone you love! We believe the simplest sentiments are always the most meaningful and special.
