Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. Did you know…that today is World Nutella Day? Yup, it’s an official day dedicated to the incredibly delicious (and highly addictive!) chocolate, hazelnut spread that is amazing with pretty much anything (or on it’s own. Spoonfuls? We’re not judging haha!).

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our favorite magazines, Craft Ideas. Their latest Winter 2014 edition was also the big reveal of their new look. Everything got revamped and updated, and it looks fantastic!!  Complete with a new logo, the updated magazine now features a “New Products” section (a breakdown of the latest craft tools and materials), Book Reviews, a “Green Ideas” section (listings for eco-friendly products and companies), and highlights up-and-coming designers. As well, Craft Ideas will now be releasing a new printed issue every second month! We were always a fan of Craft Ideas, and were so excited that they were taking on this new venture.

Flipping through the Winter 2014 issue, you might recognize some familiar projects. Craft Ideas featured two of our free projects in their magazine. The first is our Cascading Chevrons Pillow, one of our favorites! You can find the free pattern on our website too. As well, they featured our Border Blast Quilt by one of our wonderful pattern designers, Larene Smith of The Quilted Button.

We love working with Craft Ideas Magazine and are so happy they love our projects. And, it’s also so fun seeing our projects featured in print! You can find out more from Craft Ideas on their website, Facebook Page, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube. And with that, we’re going to find us some Nutella…haha. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! We hope you all are having a lovely day…almost half-way through the week! We’ve been really into Instagram as of late, and would love if you followed us…we promise you lots of pretty fabrics for your eyes! :)

Time to announce our Winsday winner. This week, we asked you what your favorite Pantone 2015 Spring color was on our Facebook, for a chance to win our Elixir FQ Bundle. We had so much fun seeing which would be the most popular colors! We saw all of them chosen, but definitely saw a preference to “lucite green” and “classic blue”. Thanks to everyone who entered, and for making our weeks so much more colorful! But of course, we could only choose one winner…so the lucky winner of our Elixir FQ bundle is…

Lucy Schneider-Ferguson! You are the winner of our Elixir FQ bundle. We are so excited for you and hope you enjoy playing with our fabrics!!

Please email us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com by February 11th, 2015. And a big thank you to everyone who participated. Stay tuned for the next Winsday!! And as always, have a fantastic day! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is bundled up and warm today – it’s another chilly one for us. As well, it’s the last day to enter our Elixir FQB Giveaway! You can enter here.

It’s time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing one of our projects from our Free Projects Program. One of our pattern designers, Kristy Daum, created a beautiful quilted pillow pattern for us called Around the Block. Create a couple of these pillows to add a pretty and modern flair to any bedroom or living space, and you will be living in a comfortable paradise! We love our Elixir Collection with this pillow too, the collection that we just so happen to be giving away this week! As usual, Kristy created an easy to work with and beautiful pillow pattern for us…thank you, Kristy :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Today is Groundhog Day and from the looks of it, according to Phil the Groundhog, we’ve still got another 6 weeks of winter ahead of us. Seems about right, as we woke up to a cozy -32 °C with windchill this morning. Brrr…

Time for some weekly inspiration with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Scented Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Our Scented collection features delicious and bright fruit prints; watermelon, lemons, apples, peaches, strawberries – as well as other yummy things, such as honey, coconut, lavender, vanilla, and crisp linen. You’re probably thinking of how delectable all of these things sound…now imagine a strawberry fabric design, that smelled like sweet strawberries! Our Scented collection is bursting with wonderful scents; you’ll not only fall in love with the pretty designs, but the scents too.

Our Scented Collection would make for some awesome projects. Who wouldn’t want to twirl around in a yummy, apple printed skirt? You can also make a lovely quilt or pillow with our Scented Collection, which would also leave a very light and fresh scent in the room.

FFWD, a fashion week-style event in Dubai, has featured so many incredibly talented designers and their designs. In their third season last Spring, one designer we were particularly fond of was Jo Baaklini. His fresh and vibrant style translated into his summer-inspired collection. His ensembles were bursting with color and liveliness, from bright turquoise pants to fruity prints. Every outfit was so fun. We especially adored his watermelon and lemon prints, which were reminiscent of our Scented Collection. This collection is definitely get us ready for Summer!!

We hope we’ve livened up your day with our Moody Monday! We’re definitely thinking about warmer days, despite our “six more weeks of winter”. We can still daydream. Have an awesome day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
