Hi everyone!
Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It’s Victoria Day here in Canada, so we’re enjoying the long weekend. The weather has been absolutely pristine….and we have an extra day to enjoy it! :) Oh, have you entered our Chalkboard Fabric & Chalk Markers Giveaway yet? You can enter here! The giveaway ends tomorrow.
To start off our week, we have our Moody Monday! Because we launched our Spring 2014 Collections last week, we are continuing the trend by talking a bit more about each one. Today we are going to share and inspire you with our Spectrum Collection by Camelot Design Studio. When we think of a perfectly crisp Summer day complete with a pretty frock, a bike ride to the farmer’s market, and some freshly squeezed lemonade…that is what Spectrum exudes to us! The citrus-inspired hues of tangerine, lemon, lavender, and mint green makes us crave a cool, summer drink! Spectrum is bright, vibrant, and happy…and you can’t help but feel that way too when creating a project or wearing a piece using this collection.
With Spring officially here, we are bringing out our favorite Summer dresses and playsuits! We are so excited not having to bundle up into a thick scarf and down coat anymore. One collection that reminds us of Spectrum is Nina Ricci’s Spring 2014 RTW collection. Complete with citrus-infused colors (yellows, oranges, and grapefruit) and playful silhouettes, we absolutely adore this one.
Ricci’s collection is a mixture of texture and strong colors; exquisite ruffle details, delicate eyelet, pretty tweed, and playful print combinations make this collection reminiscent of a summer in the Hamptons! We especially love this outfit, as well as this one, and this one. You can see the full collection here! Be sure to check out all the designs of our Spectrum Collection, and let us know your favorites! We hope we have inspired you today :)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Friday!! We hope you are all having an extraordinary day!! It’s the first day of Quilt Market – if you’re there, be sure to stop by Booth #1425 and check out all our latest collections/projects. We would love to see you! As well, we are hosting a total of FOUR Quilt Market Giveaways, have launched our Spring 2014 Collections all this week, and are hosting a collaborative chalkboard fabric & chalk marker giveaway with Marvy®/Uchida (enter here!). Phew!! What an exciting, but busy week! A long weekend is well deserved ;)
We are finishing off our full week with our Fan Friday, and thought that it would be great to share something adorable. Zura M. from Sew Retro Chic made an Imaginarium Quilt for her nephew, Afeeq, and oh my goodness – it is just too precious!! Of course we had to share a picture of the little guy too, because he just makes us smile…too much cuteness in one picture!! :)
The Imaginarium Quilt features the wonderful turquoise, yellow, and grey colorway from our Imaginarium collection, making it the perfect quilt for a baby boy. The soft hues, along with the fun pinwheel design on this quilt, really compliment one another perfectly and makes this quilt super comforting and sweet. Some words from Zura: “This quilt is a labor of love. I made 9 pinwheel blocks, sashed & bodered. But I machine stitched the binding because at that time my sister in law was already in labor! Lucky I made it in time for this sweet boy to enjoy….” We really hope Afeeq loves his Imaginarium quilt as much as we do!
Thank you SO much, Zura, for sharing your Imaginarium Quilt with us! It is absolutely beautiful, and we really hope Afeeq has been enjoying snuggling with it. As well, congratulations on being a new auntie!! You can check out more from Zura of Sew Retro Chic! on her blog, as well as at her shop. Have a great weekend, everyone! We will be posting our Quilt Market giveaways this weekend, check our Facebook & Instagram for updates, so stay tuned for more.
Happy Sewing!

We’ve got one more Spring 2014 collection to share with you all!! Last, but definitely not least, we are sharing our Singin’ The Blues Collection by Jackie McFee for Camelot Fabrics.
Jackie McFee’s Singin’ The Blues is ornate and vibrant collections of, as the name suggests, blue tones! The beautiful mix of cobalt blue, topaz, and mint colors makes this collection very light, breezy, and ocean-inspired. This collection reminds us a beach vacation somewhere near the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece – the rustic architecture, the clear waters, the rich culture, and the delicious food! Wouldn’t that be an exquisite vacation? Singin’ The Blues is decorated with elegant designs of medallions, ogees, hexagons, and lattices all in wonderful blue hues. So, so pretty! We can imagine a Singin’ The Blues summer frock, a room with a Mediterranean theme complete with flowing curtains, and a tote bag to carry all your beach treasures.
This stunning quilt design is our Tumbling Jewels Quilt by The Cloth Parcel. You can find the free pattern for it on our website here!
We really hope you enjoy our Singin’ The Blues by Jackie McFee collection! You can check out the free projects with this collection here, here, here, here, here, and here.
We really hope you have had as much fun perusing our newest Spring 2014 Collections as we have enjoyed launching them. We would love to know which collection is your favorite, and if any has inspired any project ideas! :)
