Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend, working on some sewing projects or just taking it easy. We are hosting our Paddington Bear Fabric Giveaway this week on our Facebook Page. Because Paddington is such an adventurous little bear, we want to know what your greatest adventure has been.

Starting off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection – a sea-inspired collection of fish, starfish, and seaweed in pretty blues and greens. This collection gives us that nostalgic feeling of being at the sunny and warm beach, a place we would love to be right now (instead of the frigid cold). Sea Life is happy and vibrant, a perfect collection for a beach house, sea-inspired room, or for kids’ clothing! We also love the idea of a simple, modern pillow for a beach-y vibe. Oh, our Wallace the Whale would love to dazzle in some Sea Life!

Valentino’s Spring 2015 Collection is the epitome of femininity and pure luxe. There are two distinct styles in this collection; one ethereal and the other boho-inspired with its geometric and block patterns. The dresses are flowy and loose, the perfect outfits for a vacation in the Mediterranean, to throw on after a day in the sun. We especially adore the sea-inspired prints – seafish against chiffon = the prettiest thing ever. We especially adore this dress, reminding us of our Sea Life Collection. You can check out the full collection from Valentino here.

We hope we have inspired you with our weekly Moody Monday!! Here’s to dreaming of a vacation by the sea. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a lovely day…TGIF!! To kickstart the weekend, have you entered our Paddington Bear Giveaway yet? Enter to win 3 1/2 yards of our Paddington Bear Collection. It’s the North American premiere of the movie in theaters today, so we’re super excited about that too!

Ending the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an amazing quilt done by the super talented Katy J that we spotted on Instagram. She has always been a sewing enthusiast, doing something crafty everyday whether it be something for herself, for a gift, or for custom items. She had opened an Etsy Shop for her creations, but has taken a break from it. She sews all sorts of things from quilts, baby quilts, table runners, camera strap covers, to passport and bi-fold wallets. And, she shares her new items on her Facebook Page.

Katy’s husband is an Army pilot and, being inspired by him, has sewn almost 40 Fly Army Baby Quilts in the past four years. She had recently found our Take Flight Collection at a local fabric shop, and was so thrilled by our helicopter prints. When we saw the Take Flight quilt on Instagram, we got SO excited!!

It is an absolutely stunning quilt – the reds, blues, and yellows vibrant and cheery, and would make any future pilot-in-training very happy!! You did such a wonderful job, Katy! :)

Thank you so much, Katy, for the fabric love! We are so happy to have found you and your Take Flight on Instagram, and thank you for letting us share. You can find more from Katy on her Instagram, Facebook, and Etsy. And if you have created a project using one of our collections, we’d love to see. You can send all of your pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com and you could be one of our future Fan Fridays! Have a lovely weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love ♥ In the midst of winter, it can get pretty dreary and dull. Everything is just darker and colder, and all we want to do after a day out is come home and snuggle in a blanket with some hot tea. But even though things may not be as bright and warm, we are always full of inspiration and creativity. This week, we have been inspired by our flashes of delights – homemade goldfish crackers, movie classics, and adorable kitties. See what else we have loved most… ♥

Valeria: Homemade Goldfish Crackers
Marion: Tea Cups with Wooden Lids
Vanessa: Pretty Floral Half-Updo
Juan: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Shannen: Jumping Kittie

Our Pinterest is our way of sharing our creativity and inspiration with you all, which we have so much fun doing! We hope we have inspired you with this week’s What We Love. And as always, we’d love to know what you have been loving most this week ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a great day so far. Have you entered our Paddington Bear Giveaway yet? We are giving away some Paddington Bear fabric in the heart of the movie coming out tomorrow!! Be sure to check it out and enter on our Facebook Page.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our project designers, Sarah of Sarah Laws Made. Sarah is a modern quilter and artist from Portland, who absolutely adores all things creative and beautiful. She works from her home studio, and works in different mediums that allow her to let her creativity shine. She adores all things fresh and modern, which definitely shows in her project designs – screen-printing, quilting, and becoming a chocolatier are only some of her many talents. She shares her wonderful creations on her blog, Sarah Laws Made, and also on her Etsy Shop.

We were able to collaborate with the talented Sarah on a couple of quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. We adored Sarah’s unique and funky style, and her quilt patterns definitely reflected that. Her first quilt, New Bohemian, is an intricate quilt design of squares and triangles that make up the coolest of patterns. We absolutely love how it looks with our Fresh Solids Collection, the bright colors going so well with one another.

The Diamond Emblem Quilt is definitely a favorite! The design is different and geometric, and looks so pretty with our Peacock Garden Collection. Both of these quilts would look fantastic in a modern bedroom or living room, either as a bed spread or even wall decor. How fabulous would these quilts look in a fun, boho-inspired room? Absolute gorgeousness!

We are so thrilled that we got to work with Sarah, and cannot wait for what’s to come in the future! At Camelot Fabrics, we have a unique style and think that Sarah’s designs are perfect representations of it. Thank you for the stunning quilt designs, Sarah!! You can find the free patterns for these projects on our website. You can also check out more from Sarah on her blog, Etsy, and Flickr. Have an inspired day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
