How many of you were able to go to Comic-Con in San Diego? It must have been quite a weekend.
In case you have been too busy in your sewing room to glance outside, I feel the need to let you know that this is a very special year for fans! They are celebrating Start Trek’s 50th anniversary! Whether a fan or not, this is quite an accomplishment:

Imagine my surprise when I saw that the pattern was designed for templates! I am not a template enthusiast. As a matter of fact I am more the lazy quilter type who enjoys simple strip piecing projects. So I put my thinking cap on and figured out how to make this project without using templates. And I thought: Why not share this on a How To’s Day post? The pattern is called Saybrook Island Pillow by Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter .

This week we are featuring our Hello my Deer Collection by Camelot Design Studio. I love how this collection looks overall. The taupe and olive colors blend in perfectly with the pink. It adds a feminine feel to the outdoor theme that is so trendy right now.
I had a chance to play with this fabric line and you will be able to see my tips and tricks to make a pillow tomorrow. Now don’t forget to look at our mixology grouping to find matching taupe, zinc and white colors. And spruce it up with a touch of Mixology Woven in Cotton Candy! You’d be surprised how it makes it all work!

more.We have made many projects with the Rose Quartz & Serenity collection for the Spring Quilt Market not to mention the ties and handkerchiefs that look stunning (You have to look at the picture Fave Quilts took). So it is difficult to pick out just one project to feature. But I am opting for the great Butterfly quilt pattern as it’s a relatively easy Queen Size quilt to make.
Please remember that I DO NOT recommend you starting your quilting journey by making a Queen size quilt! Although I have heard many stories starting like this. The fact is that quilting is not necessary the easiest hobby to have. And starting on a big project might mean a very short lived dream of becoming a quilter. Quilting combines many disciplines: the cutting, the piecing, the sandwiching, the quilting and the binding. All very challenging! I tend to call them pitfalls. So ensure that you kind of master all of these before contemplating a Queen Size quilt.
You can download the free pattern on our website AND you will be happy to know that the pattern has been tested and all corrections have been made to ensure that you really enjoy making the quilt.
Please do send us photos or simply link us up on your social media by adding #camelotfabrics

This Moody Monday is all about our quest for calm and celebrates a softer side with Jackie McFee capturing the essence of the two Pantone colours of the year: Rose Quartz & Serenity!
This new collection, Rose Quartz & Serenity, brings a sense of calm and relaxation. It reminds me of the beautiful sunsets I was lucky enough to see during my holiday in Cape Cod. The fabrics offer a balance between a warmer embracing rose and a cooler tranquil blue and will surely help you enjoy the moment you spend working on that very special project.
Making a quilt featuring this collection will surely provide you with a much-needed sense of tranquility and inner peace.
What are you planning to make with this collection? Be sure to check out the full program in your local quilt shop. Click here to find the one nearest your home.
Happy Sewing!
