Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you are all having a fabulous day!! Today is National Oatmeal Cookie Day…YUM! A soft oatmeal, chocolate chip (with walnuts & shredded coconut, if I’m feelin’ fancy haha) is my ideal cookie. And because it’s a national holiday, it’s only right that I eat one (or three), right? ;)

It’s Thursday, so you know what that means on the blog. It’s Thankful Thursday time!! Today we are featuring one of our pattern designers, Veronica Koh Eischeid of Veronica Made, Veronica designed a fabulous pillow pattern for us called Modern Cross. The pillow features a cool star-esque pattern in the middle – keeping it the focal point of the design. Mixing and matching different colours and patterns is what makes this pillow fun, and keeping the background neutral makes it pop! It is available as a free pattern on our website here.

One of the collections we will be showcasing at Spring Quilt Market is our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection, and thought the Modern Cross pillow would look fabulous with it. And we were definitely not wrong! The Modern Cross pillow’s look matches perfectly with our boho-inspired collection, and would look really good against a white couch. Veronica did such an awesome job bringing her Modern Cross pillow to life.

We want to thank Veronica for creating such a stunning pillow design for us, and for making it for us for Quilt Market. It’s going to look fab. You can find the PDF printout for Modern Cross on our website. Find more from Veronica at her blog and Etsy Shop. Have a lovely day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. It’s the last day to enter our Sea Life FQB Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter! :)

It’s How To’s Day time! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful free project quilt patterns by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa created a couple of projects for us, one being her Hang Time Quilt. Hang Time is a very cool looking quilt, with 16 blocks together to create a window-like effect. If you choose one colour for the lattice design, it looks almost like “stained glass”. Sometimes with an intricate-looking design, less is more when it comes to patterns…so we love the look of Hang Time with our Fresh Solids. The bright colours gives the right amount of oomph to the quilt, and would look incredible on top of a bed or on a wall. It’s pretty much art! You can also find the full pdf printout here.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Finally got around to doing some Spring cleaning, starting with my mess of a closet haha. The result? Two bags full of clothing to donate. Woo!

Time to start off another great week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of the collections we launched last week – our Star Wars: Immortals Collection. Star Wars: Immortals is our collection of bestselling Star Wars designs…back and ready to be created into awesome, new projects! This collection features 16 of our fan favorite Star Wars designs; you’ve asked, and we’ve listened! From our classic comic prints to our bold galactic-inspired designs, Star Wars: Immortals has got it all. See the full collection here.

Balmain’s Spring 2015 Collection was bold and beautiful. We love the drama that was embodied in this collection, focusing on the use of structure color-blocking instead of patterned fabric. Balmain definitely was inspired by the future and outer space, as the whole collection was very galaxy-inspired, with the caged details, choker necklaces, and cool cutouts. The graphic-feel of this collection was perfectly reminiscent of our Star Wars: Immortals Collection. We especially loved this black and blue number!

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post. We’d love to know what trends you’re looking forward to for the springtime. And be sure to enter our giveaway, if you haven’t yet. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is having a fantastical day!! Not sure if you saw yesterday’s post, but we’re hosting another Winsday! This week, we’re giving away a Sea Life FQB on our Facebook Page – so go enter now!! ;)

Saying some “thank yous” today with our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring another awesome quilt shop, Fabric Mill, who love Camelot Fabrics. Fabric Mill is a quilt shop located in Orem, Utah and has been up & running since 1972. They are a combination quilt shop and fabric store, so they are a one-stop shop for all of your quilting and sewing needs! As well, they have quilt kits, tutorials, and cool patterns available. Though they got their start in the 70s, they’re up-to-date with the latest fabric trends, love bright colors, and are big fans of social media.

One collection they particularly adore is our Wildflowers by Alisse Courter Collection, from Fall 2014. Wildflowers is our feminine floral collection of luscious pink, chartreuse, and grey hues. The floral patterns are ethereal and soft, and make for the perfect palette for a girly quilt or dress.

Fabric Mill featured our Wildflowers Collection on their blog, which included very sweet words. Along with some lust-worthy pictures of Wildflowers & coordinating Mixology, they also shared their favorite Camelot Fabrics free projects.

Thank you for the fabric love, Fabric Mill! If you are in the Ohio are, be sure to check them out. You can find more from them on their website, blog, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Pinterest. Have a lovely day!
