Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! We hope you are all having a wonderful mid-week. We’ve been busily prepping everything for Fall Quilt Market. Can’t believe it’s in two weeks!! PS: If you’ll be at Fall Quilt Market this year, be sure to stop by Booth #1824 – we’ve got so many fun things planned! :)

It’s time to announce the winner of this week’s Winsday! This week, we hosted a Hard Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page and wanted to know what you would create with the plethora of our pretty felt. Reading your comments, we loved seeing your creativity…and that we were the first you have heard of hard felt from. If any of you are familiar with using a silhouette machine or die-cuts, our hard felt is perfect for cutting out different shapes really easily for your crafting projects. The possibilities for using hard felt in your crafty projects are endless, and so many of you had really great ideas! We’re so happy that you loved the stack colors and prints that we chose for you.

But of course, we can only choose one lucky winner! We loved reading all the responses, but this week’s Winsday winner is…

Congratulations, Kristy Smith!! We are SO excited for you to receive our bundle of delectable hard felt, and can’t wait for you to create some amazing projects with them. Please send us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com before October 15th, 2014. And to everyone else, until next Winsday…. have a fantastic day!! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone is having a great day. The sun is shining, the weather is pristine, we are immersed in pretty fabrics…it’s an awesome one for us! Speaking of pretty fabrics, we featured our Insulated Lunch Hamper on our blog yesterday with our What a Gem by Allison Cole for Camelot Fabrics collection. You can check out the full tutorial HERE.

We hosted a Paisley Please & coordinating Aurifil Threads Giveaway on our Facebook Page and it was definitely one of our favorites! We asked you what your favorite Fall treat is, and really loved reading all of your comments. So many delicious Fall treats to choose from, and so many new treats we had never heard about (but will definitely be on the hunt for now, so thank you!). We want to thank Aurifil for the wonderful contribution and for sharing our giveaway on their social media handles! It really means SO much to us!! Aurifil…you guys ROCK! :)

But we could only choose one winner…despite the many yummy options! The winner of our Paisley Please & Aurifil Giveaway is…

Congratulations, Jennifer Sanchez! We really hope you enjoy the Paisley Please fabric bundle and coordinating threads. Please email us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com by next Winsday, October 1st! A big thank you to everyone for participating in this week’s giveaway. We really appreciate all the fabric love and support. Stay tuned for next week’s Winsday…but until then, have a wonderful rest of the day! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. This week, we are giving away our Neon & On FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page. We want to know what back to school inspired project you would create with this bundle. Let us know for a chance to win HERE! :)

For this week’s Thankful Thursday, we are featuring a blog that we are sure all our fellow sewers and bloggers visit as their go-to crafting manual – Sew Mama Sew! It has been a couple of months, but we are ever so thankful that we wanted to properly thank everyone involved for the incredible feature. Sew Mama Sew is the motherboard of all things craft and sewing-related, from easy-to-follow and creative tutorials, fun and engaging sew-alongs, and the best of giveaways! Their tutorials include stunning dress patterns to quilted projects to tips & tricks for beginners, and everything in between. If you’re looking for it (at least craft-wise), Sew Mama Sew has got it!!

One amazing thing about Sew Mama Sew is the consistent contributors on the blog, featuring fellow bloggers and crafting enthusiasts alike. Sew Mama Sew partnered up with Warp & Weft and Thread Riding Hood to showcase an amazing project (and a giveaway!) with two of our fabric collections. We were so thrilled and over-the-moon to the see our fabric collections used, and featured on some very cool blogs. Made us feel pretty cool ourselves, haha. The fantastic project was sponsored by Warp & Weft, a fabric retailer and fellow Canadian (yay, represent!), so thank you SOSO much for the fabric love.

Sherri of Thread Riding Hood (um, how adorable is her blog name?!) is the creative behind the project. She created a beautiful Fabric Tray, perfect for holding all your project items (thread, thimble, scissors, etc), or for keeping all your essentials in one place before you leave. The pretty patchwork design gives this Fabric Tray a modern and fun feel, which goes fabulously with the bright colors of our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio and Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham collections.

Love it!!! This Fabric Tray tutorial is perfect for any extra fabric scraps (we all know we hoard a bunch of those!) laying around. Your scraps will find a new home and will be made into something really pretty and functional. You can find the full tutorial for this Fabric Tray on Sew Mama Sew’s blog, as well as at Thread Riding Hood.

We know we are a little late, but we want to say an official HUGE THANK YOU to Sew Mama Sew, Warp & Weft, and Thread Riding Hood for choosing our collections to showcase a wonderful project. We were so ecstatic to see our pretty collections, and are so happy you love them too. You can check out our Beyond the Backyard and Petite Plume collections on our website. Please be sure to check out their blogs for lots more creative and beautiful goodness!! Have a great one! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

We first and foremost want to thank everyone who took the time to enter this week’s giveaway – it was super awesome getting to read which of our Summer 2014 collections you enjoy the most.
