Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and are having a good day back. It’s been chilly these days, but that didn’t stop us from heading out for some winter fun! Early Christmas celebrations, ice skating, and delicious crepes were some of our favorite activities from the weekend.

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Botanical Collection by Alisse Courter. Botanical is a wonderful collection of all things flora – the intricate floral, leaves, twigs, and damask prints are all stunning in a green, grey, and golden color palette. This brooding collection is warm and captivating, the rich tones reminding us of all things woods-y and autumnal. Botanical would make for a wonderful shift dress, for a garden party, with an accompanying headpiece. And how majestic would a Botanical quilt be, as a bed cover or wall decor – oh, so divine!

We adore Noon by Noor‘s Spring 2014 collection – it had a wonderfully feminine and soft feel to it, in both colors and texture. Silks, rose ruffles, tulle, extravagant jewels, and flora patterns were impeccable and made us want to twirl around & dance in any of the outfits! They were made for a magical night out. We especially adore this leaf printed dress, that reminds us of our Botanical Collection. We would definitely wear this stunning dress to our next fancy affair! ;)

We hope we have added a boost to your day, and have inspired you with our Moody Monday! Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope everyone had a great week – any fun plans for the weekend? We’re hoping for some mild weather, with a touch of pretty flurries, so that we can go skating! Yup, the winter can be horrid…but there are definitely a lot of fun that comes with it too. Getting excited for all the winter activities!

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! This week, we are featuring an awesome project from Isabelle Lachance. Isabelle loves making things with fabrics of fun, bright colors and nostalgic cartoons. She is a fabric enthusiast and enjoys making things & sewing, and decided to open up an Etsy Shop to share her creations. Creationilo is the name of her shop, which perfectly encapsulates her love for being creative and unique, handmade items.

She adores our Betty Boop Collection and decided to use our yellow filmstrip design to create a fun, placemat pouch. It is such a great and multi-purposed idea – you can carry your utensils in your lunch bag and use it as a placement, all in one!  We love the convenience of her placemat pouch, and adore the vibrant, yellow Betty Boop print she chose. The pop of hot pink is a fantastic touch too!

You can check out Isabelle’s Etsy Shop for her awesome Betty Boop placement pouch, as well as for more cool goodies. Thank you for the fabric love, Isabelle – we are so glad you love our Betty Boop Collection! And have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a brilliant day. It’s National Cookie Day – and all we can say to that is…where are the cookies?! Haha! Bring on the oatmeal, chocolate chip and macadamia nuts cookies pleaseee. YUM!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! This week we are featuring one of our fantastic project designers…Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter! Together Stephanie and Michelle, both fabric and quilting enthusiasts & mums, own and operate Late Night Quilter – a professional longarm quilting and pattern design company, and accompanying blog! The Late Night Quilter blog is a wonderful quilting haven that is dedicated to quilting projects and tutorials, all things modern & pretty, and longarm quilting services. They are focused on sharing their quilting tips and tricks, their latest quilting creations, and inspiring others with their love for fabric.

We had the lovely opportunity of working with Stephanie on a couple of quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. Stephanie created three modern, whimsical quilt designs for us and we adore them all! They all embrace the esthetic that is Camelot Fabrics and showcases our fun fabric collections wonderfully. The first is a beautiful quilted pillow pattern called High Tide – a pillow design of diagonal pieces that create interesting triangle and trapezoid shapes. It’s a great pillow for showing a multitude of patterns, such as our London Fog Collection, in a cool way.

The second pattern is a stunning quilt design called Summer on the Sound, a pattern of pretty starbursts. We adore how it looks with our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection, focusing on the beautiful pinks and greens while keeping the rest neutral. Saybrook Island is another quilt pillow that creates a gorgeous, symmetrical  “leaf like” pattern – we think it looks perfect with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection! [CLICK TO SEE MORE]

It’s time for this week’s What We Love! This week, as it’s the first week of December, we have been getting super excited for the holidays. Decorating the office, sugar cookie decorating, friendly snowball fights, and yummy holiday drinks are some of things we’ve been indulging in…lots more Christmas spirit to come! Sugar and spice, and everything nice, is the theme of this week’s What We Love… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. We are halfway into the work week, and we received a lovely surprise last night. Snow!! And not just any kind of snow, but the best kind of snow to make snowmen and have snowball fights with. Oh, glorious white confetti! It’s unfortunately turning into slush this afternoon, but we’re crossing our fingers for more pretty white stuff soon!

It’s time to announce this week’s Winsday! We hosted our bi-weekly giveaway on our blog this week, and were so enthused by all the amazing people who participated.
