Red Messenger Bag by Suzanne Mireles, featuring Camelot Fabrics’ Sith Lord fabric.
Who is your favorite Star Wars character? “My favorite character is Darth Vader. What I loved most about Star Wars was the change in Darth Vader’s character. It showed the transformation from potential, to the embodiment of evil, to eventual redemption.”

Who is your favorite Star Wars character? ‘’I would say my favorite SW character is Obi-Wan Kenobi – who wouldn’t love someone with those Jedi mind trick skills – after all, these are not the droids you are looking for.”

Thanks to the three talented ladies who shared their designs with us today… you all are fantastic! Let’s keep the countdown going…

As we count down the days to #ForceFriday, we’re also sharing some amazing projects featuring our Star Wars fabric – from some equally fantastic Etsy creators (who also happen to be Star Wars fans!!). Let’s see what they have designed, as well as find out why they love Star Wars too…

The Force is Strong Insulated Lunch Bag by brookiellen, featuring Camelot Fabrics’ Comic Book Covers fabric.

Who is your favorite Star Wars character? “First of all, I never saw the Star Wars movies until I met my husband (yeah, I know…seriously).  Better late than never, right?  This was mostly due to a story my dad had me believing for years.  When I was little he had this black and white photo of a scary looking old man in a robe, standing in the woods.  He told me that this man lived in the woods behind our house.  Of course I believed him and was terrified.  Then I remember seeing a movie poster (not realizing at the time it was for The Empire Strikes Back) and this same scary looking man was on it.  Once I got a little older, I found out that the photo of the “scary looking old man living in the woods behind my house” was actually my uncle wearing an old robe and a YODA mask.  Thanks Dad!  For this reason, Star Wars will always hold a special and strange place in my childhood memories.  This is comical especially now because after actually watching the movies, Yoda has become one of my favorite characters.”

Star Wars Dress by Cyanidekissx, featuring Camelot Fabrics’ Comic Strip fabric.

Who is your favorite Star Wars character? “Well….that’s a funny one…because I think he’s just about every Star Wars fan’s least favourite character…But really like Jar Jar.. He makes me giggle! Not sure I should admit that one ;)”

Thank you to these fabulous and talented ladies who let us share their Star Wars products! 2 down, three more days to go…

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a wonderful First of September!! It’s also the last day to enter our Flannel FQB Giveaway, so if you haven’t yet, gogogo and enter!

Let’s start off the day with our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Tumbling Jewels Quilt by The Cloth Parcel, the wonderful mother-daughter design team. The Tumbling Jewels Quilt is a gorgeous quilt design, composed of lots of different sized triangles and squares to create a “jeweled” effect. We love the randomness of how the shapes are placed, but together, create a super cool and neat pattern. We have fun playing around with this quilt pattern, and loved how it turned out with our Nordic Collection. The grey tones, muted pink, and black prints look so good together in this quilt.

We are so excited for the premiere of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie! And, in celebration of #ForceFriday this week, we will be sharing our “Week of Star Wars Projects” – featuring super cool fan projects made with our classic Star Wars fabric. This week, it’s all Star Wars… all the time. Get ready for all the awesome Star Wars projects created, as well as find out what these enthusiasts love most about the beloved Star Wars Saga!

Star Wars Modern Baby Quilt by SewShaped, featuring Camelot Fabrics’ Star Wars fabric.

Who is you favorite Star Wars character? “My favorite character is Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi.  And I love that I can watch Star Wars with my whole family and see my kids fall in love with it as much as I did as a kid.”

Large Bow Tote Bag bySheSeamsLikeIt, featuring Camelot Fabrics’ Star Wars Characters in Quilting Blocks fabric.

Why do you love Star Wars? “The reason I love the Star Wars saga is because anyone can connect with it. Young children are introduced to an exciting space adventure in a galaxy far, far away, as well as colorful action scenes between the Empire and the Republic. Adults may find themselves identifying with the struggles of each character, Dark Side or Light. It is easy to find ones-self identifying with a character from the Star Wars universe because there is a complete spectrum of character types. Whether one feels as regal as Princess Leia or as romantically aloof as Han Solo, as cuddly as Chewbacca or as robotic as R2-D2, there’s someone for everyone. It’s hard to choose just one, but my all-time favorite character has got to be C-3PO. He is so effortlessly funny, and don’t get me started about always getting to wear GOLD!”
