Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful end of the workweek. We have been launching our Fall 2014 Collections today on our website and blog, as well as our social media sites, so be sure to check them. We’d love to know what you think, and which ones are your favorite!! We definitely couldn’t choose just one! We’re also in Houston for Fall Quilt Market, so if you’ll be there too, be sure to stop by Booth #1824 to say “hello!”

It’s time to end a great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful online shop who makes the sweetest of quilts, Now and Then Quilts. Dana is the owner of and creative behind Now and Then Quilts, an Etsy Shop that was launched as a way to share her love for quilting. Dana enjoys the whole process of quilting, from choosing the fabric to seeing the quilt “come to life”, which makes each quilt all the more special. Dana is a loving wife, mother to four, and a grandmother to three…all whom she loves to sew and quilt for. Now and Then Quilts is all about beautiful quilt designs, from adorable but modern baby quilts to Christmas stockings and other fun accessories. All items are made with love, the perfect addition to any little ones’ nursery. She has quilts for girls and boys in a variety of colors, sizes, and fabric designs to appeal to everyone.

Dana created a beautiful baby quilt with our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection. This Modern Baby Girl Quilt is absolutely stunning, the different patterns from What a Gem in a block patchwork design. This modern, whimsical quilt is perfect for a baby girl who is as fierce as she is chic! As Dana says “because every now and then you just need that special quilt“, and we think her What a Gem quilt truly is special.

Thank you so much Dana for the fabric love! We absolutely adore the quilt you created with our What a Gem Collection, and are so happy that others love it too. You can check out more from Dana’s quilt shop “Now and Then Quilts” here. You can also find her on Twitter and Facebook. Have a fantastic weekend! :)

Happy Sewing!

Time for another Fall 2014 Collection! We are launching two collections from Alisse Courter this season, the first that we shared is her Botanical Collection. Alisse’s second collection with Camelot Fabrics is Wildflowers, an absolutely stunning collection that encapsulates everything that is delicate and pretty. Wildflowers is the epitome of beautiful and girly, each print decorated in delicate florals and lovely leaf motifs. The color palette is soft and muted corals, chartreuse greens, and creams. We can picture an adorable little girls’ dress or spring shift dress in Wildflowers, complete with a flower crown. This collection is perfect for the ultimate girly-girl’s bedroom; tasseled pillows atop a daybed or fluttering tabbed curtains to complete the look.

We absolutely adore our Farm Stand Quilt by Anne Sullivan from Play Crafts in our Wildflowers by Alisse Courter Collection. How absolutely precious do the colors seamlessly work together in this quilt design, complimenting each pattern perfectly to create a stunning floral-infused quilt.

We hope you absolutely love our Wildflowers by Alisse Courter Collection. We would love to know what you think. You can check out all of our free projects on our website. Stay tuned for more!

More from Camelot Fabrics’ Fall 2014 Collections Launch! We love that all our fellow Trekkies adore our Star Trek collections, but we have been getting lots of requests for a The Next Generation collection. Well, you asked…and we listened! This one is for all our fellow TNG enthusiasts. Our Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection brings you everything you adore most – the classic red/yellow/blue colorway, your favorite and most loved characters, and the coveted logo. We really wanted to make our Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection special and one that our fellow TNG enthusiasts would love. We hope we have made you proud. This collection would make an awesome tote bag or neck-tie for you, or the TNG fan in your life.

Why not add your love for TNG to your room with our Elevation Pillow by Kristy Daum? We think it looks super awesome, and supports your Star Trek love in a very cool way.

We hope you enjoy our Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection – we’d love to know what all our fellow Star Trek enthusiasts think. What would you create with this collection? We’d love to know! :)

We are SO incredibly excited to introduce this collection for Fall 2014 with you all. Just wait until you get a whiff of this one…hehe. Not only are we color and design experts, but we’ve recently come scent experts in the Camelot Design Studio too. We are so thrilled to finally be able to share our Scented Collection with you!! Yup, that’s right. Our Scented collection of adorable fruit motifs and whimsical textural prints are not only eye-catching and fun, but also smell as good as they look. Now you can have your prints and smell them too (ha, we had to!). Create a playful strawberry-infused skirt or some cute shape pillows with our scented fabric. We love the idea of bean bag pouches (perfect for gifts!) to add a fruity scent to any room. As well, we also have coordinating Scented Solids with the same fruity scents.

Or why not go all out and create a colorful quilt, such as our Farm Stand Quilt by Anne Sullivan (above). We also adore this lovely Around the Block Pillow by Kristy Daum. The bright fruit motifs will add a delicious flair to any bed or couch. It will look and smell like fruit salad, of the best kind.

Are you excited about our Scented Collection and Scented Solids as much as we are? We would LOVE to know what you think, and what you would create this delicious collection. Stay tuned for lots more!

More for Fall 2014 from Camelot Fabrics!! Up next, we are launching our Coraline by Camelot Design Studio Collection. Coraline is feminine and pretty, with delicate geometric patterns in a synonymous colorway of corals and soft blues. These once impact-ful colors for the warmer months have now subdued for autumn, making for a cozy and mild color palette that would be perfect for a quilt. As well, celebrate the fall season by hosting an autumn celebration, complete with lovely handmade napkins and a hostess’ apron.

The geese are getting ready to fly south for the Winter, but we’re still loving them on our Flying High by Swirly Girls Design Quilt (above). We’re also loving our Diamond Sparkles Quilt by The Quilt Button. How beautiful does our Coraline Collection look melanged together in this design?

We’d love to know which is our favorite design in our Coraline Collection. As well, we’d love to know what you would create with this feminine and soft collection. Stay tuned for more Fall 2014 collection launches!
