Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We are celebrating Mother’s Day all this week because we love our mums! Today we are going to share with you a wonderful gift idea for that special mom who deserves to feel pampered.

 

This week’s How To’s day is our elegant Trellis Edged Robe featuring our Iconic Collection. This robe is luxurious and beautiful, complete with stunning trellis detailing on the sleeves and edging, as well as a satin lining. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a cup of coffee or tea, with the daily newspaper or favorite television show, snuggled up in this robe? There is no better way to spend the morning, we think. Our Trellis Edged Robe will make anyone feel pretty and like royalty, as our mums should feel every day!!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. We are trying to embrace the milder weather, as we are supposed to be getting more rain in the next coming days. Sigh. We just want sunshine!! :)

 

In the meantime, we’ve got something else to brighten your day – it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day post! We’ve got a fantastic new tutorial to share with you all, our Easy Pillow Slip! We are all about simplicity and convenience here, so if we can make something…why not right? :) Bedcovers and sheets should be interchanged every couple of weeks, and there is honestly nothing better than the feeling of going to bed in fresh linens. However, buying extra bed wear can get pretty expensive, especially for something that can easily be made yourself, so we are going to share our tips & tricks with you today on just that!

Another awesome thing about bedcovers is that they are just that – covers for your bed! It’s the simplest way to change up a bedroom look; keep the rest of your bedroom décor neutral and add pops of color with your linens (ie. pillows, bed sheets, and curtains!). In a manner of minutes, you’ll have yourself a completely different looking room. It’s a great way to decorate on a budget (such as for a dorm room!), or for those who just like changing things up! Indulge in your inner interior decorator by mastering your very own pillow slips with our tutorial today.

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful, blissful, and relaxed long weekend filled with love, family time, and chocolate :) As well, Happy Earth Day! We always try to do our part to help out our planet as much as we can, and sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference. For example, using a reusable tote at the grocery store, reusing fabric napkins, and a fun fabric ring stacking toy game are some ways you can “stay green” too! Any of our DIY projects are some easy ways to be crafty and use/reuse some fabric in your stash! :)

 

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing another of our quilt patterns from one of our quilt designers, Christa Watson of Christa Quilts. The Herringbone Quilt, featured with our Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee Collection, is a very classic and clean design. This quilt would look spectacular with just about any fabric collection, but it features our gray- and yellow-hued collection perfectly by showcasing all the designs in a lovely uniformed manner.

Christa showcased this quilt on her blog, with a couple of really great tips, including how to work with directional fabric! We love this post because it really helps fine-tune the details of a finished quilt’s look. We are also very excited because this will be one of our featured quilts at Spring Quilt Market – we cannot wait to showcase it at the show because we know it will surely be a showstopper!

 

You can check out the free printable PDF of this quilt pattern on our website, but we are going to break it down for you in this post. We hope you enjoy! Click MORE to see the rest!

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!

 

How To's Day | Square Bunting Banner Tutorial | Neon & On by Jackie McFee for Camelot Fabrics

 

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 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!
