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 Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a splendid day. We want to take a moment today to commemorate the incredible and brave men & women for protecting our country. We thank you for all that you have do. Happy Veteran’s Day & Happy Remembrance Day!
It’s time to share another project with you, for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing our Boxy Shift Dress Tutorial. This simple, but elegant dress is the perfect thing to slip into for your next cocktail party! The shift-style of this dress is chic and pretty, and also super comfortable so you’ll be able to dance the night away…and try all the yummy food. The dress is perfect for wearing to the office, and then quickly switching it into a nighttime outfit with some fun accessories! As well, the accented trim adds an extra bit of pizzazz!
We absolutely love this dress with our Nightfall Collection; the gold and black combination will make you feel so glam in your Boxy Dress and you will definitely stand out, in the best way. Complement your outfit with a matching Foldover Wedding Clutch in white and gold, and you will be the ‘belle of the ball’.

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Beyond the Backyard x Westcott Giveaway, so if you haven’t entered yet, be sure to! We are giving away a Beyond the Backyard FQ bundle and two Westcott cutting tools.
It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Tablet Case Tutorial from Hypernoodle, a case that is equally protective and stylish for your tablet. Long gone are the days of those industrial-looking and plain cases that, yes, are functional…but really not that pretty to look at. We’ve solved that problem with our fabric case so that now you’ll want to carry your tablet with you everywhere! The slight padding adds support, and the size will fit a standard tablet. As well, the snap closure makes it easy for you to use your tablet and then store it back.
We used our Iconic by Camelot Design Studio Collection to feature our tablet case, which makes it very modern and chic. The pink and navy pairing of our case is super pretty and elegant, and makes for the perfect companion for the stylish technologist-a on the go!

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 Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. You can definitely feel the frost in the air today. We’ve had a couple of “sweater weather” days, but now have been abruptly hit with the cold haha. Oh well. There are so many exciting things ahead – Quilt Market, Halloween, and Christmas. It’s also the last day to enter our giveaway! You can enter HERE for a chance to win an Imaginarium FQ Bundle!
It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been excitedly packing up everything for Fall Quilt Market, getting all our projects (in-house and outsourced) ready for the booth. We cannot wait to share all of our projects, but we have decided to give some little sneak peeks. Today we are featuring our Foldover Wedding Clutch in our Nightfall Collection. This absolutely stunning foldover clutch is the perfect little accessory for a Girls’ Night Out, Date Night, or any other glam event. Perfect in size to fit all your essentials – cell phone, lipstick, and money – this clutch will add some extra pizzazz to any outfit. The foldover design makes it super easy and convenient to use, and the wrap-around string is another unique detail.
We have previously shown this foldover clutch with our Neon & On Collection, which is a perfect statement piece for the summertime, but as we transition to fall and winter, our clothing choices and accessories are, in correlation to the weather, also getting darker.
We love our foldover wedding clutch with our Nightfall Collection because it’s so chic and glam, especially with the gold detailings. This clutch would be perfect with an LBD, but also with any other color because the gold really does pop! This clutch would be a perfect bridesmaid’s or birthday gift, especially along with our Trellis Edged Robe (free tutorial here).
We hope you have enjoyed this week’s How To’s Day feature. You can find the full, free tutorial for our Foldover Wedding Clutch on our blog, as well as the free PDF printout. We’d love to know what you would pair with our foldover wedding clutch in Nightfall, as well as what your ideal night out would be. Have a great day, everyone!
Happy Sewing!
