Welcome!

Hi everyone!!

Happy Friday! YAY for it being almost the weekend!! :) Have you entered our Itty Bitty FQB x Aurifil Giveaway? We have been rocking out to our Summer Playlist in the office, and have been looking for some new songs to play…which inspired this week’s giveaway theme. Be sure to enter HERE! :)

Time to finish off a great week with our Fan Friday! We saw this absolutely precious on Instagram, and we just had to share! Jenn Trumbo shared her stunning apron with our Penelope Collection and we are in love with it. At the Camelot Design Studio, we are definitely suckers for anything with pockets. And these pockets = perfection! Jenn used our main floral print from Penelope for the body, and our beautiful Pink Baubles print for the contrasting trims…a beautiful combination! :)

Jenn is a part-time seamstress, and full-time mommy to a 3 year old boy. She has always had a love for sewing and quilting, and has found a career that she loves & finds a great passion for. Her favorite part about sewing? Fabric shopping, of course! She gets inspired by her pretty fabric finds for project ideas, and always has at least three different projects in the works at a time. She sews ceiling grid designs for Noah’s Events Venue and apron samples for Jan Lutz from The Apron Lady Designs. However, it’s important for her to separate her “work” sewing and her “fun” sewing. In her free time, she really loves making things for her friends and family…another “excuse” for more fabric shopping. We agree with your smart thinking, Jenn! :)

Jenn saw our Penelope Collection at a quilt show and was immediately drawn to its happy colors and designs! Pink and blue is her favorite color combination, and she was inspired to create a work apron with it. The bright colors from her apron now add an instant boost to her workday when she wears it. And how can it not? It’s such a fun and sweet apron!! Thank you so much Jenn for the fabric love, and for sharing your Penelope apron with us. You can check our Jenn’s work at Noah’s Events Venue and The Apron Lady Designs. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a great and restful weekend! Did anyone do anything fun? :) Here’s to another fantastic week!! If you haven’t seen our latest tutorial, you definitely should! We shared our adorable (and relatively simple) Macarons Pillows Tutorial last week. Be sure to check it out HERE!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday. Today we are featuring a sophisticated, modern, and classic collection…Kate by Camelot Design Studio! Kate is a collection of grapefruit, indigo, and chartreuse tones that encapsulates a very warm and rustic vibe. The ogee, tiled, lattice, and chevron patterns add a playful touch to this otherwise sleek collection. Kate calls for a dressed-up affair – a rooftop 5 a 7 or garden party…you are ready for anything! Any of the designs in this collection would look stunning as a simple shift dress, a necktie, or a couple of pillows to add some flair to your living space. The possibilities are endless! :)

The color palette of Kate makes for an especially polished and refined feel, and this outfit that Jessica Biel sports definitely resembles just that. Jessica Biel is a very reserved actress, with very scant highlights in the press (which is a good thing!). Her demure sophistication is definitely displayed in her modern eggplant and coral ensemble. The dual tones of coral/tangerine tones add for a very pretty monochromatic look…which she completed with a complementary eggplant-hued jacket, bag, and pair of heels. This outfit gives a very similar feel to our Kate collection, in both tones and feel. Such a lovely look…great job, Jessica! You can check out the full Kate Collection HERE! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired…to wear a monochromatic look, or just a pop of eggplant of coral in your look. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Wishing all of our American Friends a fantastic and safe Fourth of July!! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!! Happy Fourth of July to all our American friends!! We wish you a fantastic and safe celebratory weekend!! If you haven’t seen it yet, we posted some awesome DIY Fourth of July gift and party ideas on our blog last week…here’s the link to check it out!

It’s also time to end another super week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop and blog: Charley, Dee, & Me! Charley, Dee, & Me is a blog run by Rebecca, and dedicated to all things fabric-related. Rebecca loves to sew and quilt, especially with the women in her family, and enjoys blogging about all of her project-making adventures. As well, Rebecca shares tutorials with her readers – table runners, a fun toaster cover, and more! :)

In correlation with her blog, Rebecca also has an Etsy Shop where she sells her beautifully handmade burp cloths, blankets, and quilts for little ones. A lot of the chain store products for babies are generic and, for lack of a better word, boring…but Rebecca brings a contemporary flair to baby stuff! Rebecca has impeccable taste in fabric designs, so all of her products are eye-catching and modern, perfect for all the little ones who want to be comforted but also stay in style! We absolutely adore these burp cloths that Rebecca made with our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection. This set is absolutely adorable, and the packaging is perfection as well. It would make for such a lovely baby shower gift!

We are so happy that you love our Frolicking Forest fabric, Rebecca! We really love the esthetic of your blog and shop, and are honored to be a part of it. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
