Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! We hope everyone is having a really great day! We started a new feature on the blog this week called What We Love – a post dedicated to all things that the Camelot Design Studio is loving at the moment! We really hope you enjoyed the first post; we are super excited for the next! :)

To end another lovely week, we have our Fan Friday to share. Today we are featuring an Etsy Shop, The Bib Boutique, with a very fun and modern feel. This handmade shop is dedicated to handmade bibs, turbans, baby teething pads, and other baby necessities, in cute prints. Irene, owner of The Bib Boutique, also creates beautiful headbands and turbans for adults in modern geometric and patterned fabrics!

Irene shared with us her Wonder Woman bib using our DC Comics Originals Collection, and we just had to share! She also created baby teething pads with Wonder Woman, and we just love it. We love creative patterns for babies, and our Wonder Woman print fits the bill (or, bib we should say hehe). Every future superheroine needs her very own girl power bib, of course, so that she can be protected and ready for what’s ahead! :)

Thank you so much, Irene, for sharing with us your wonderful DC Comics Originals projects!! We absolutely adore them, and your Etsy shop! Be sure to visit The Bib Boutique for more, as well as their Facebook Page. Have a great weekend, everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! We hope everyone is having a great day! Have you entered our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Giveaway yet? Let us know which of our Spring 2014 collections is your favorite for a chance to win our Penelope FQ bundle AND coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spool Case!! Enter HERE :)

We are finishing the end to another great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an adorable free project from E-beth Designs using our Penelope Collection. How perfect for our Penelope Giveaway week! We first saw this project on Instagram (thanks for tagging us!!), and we squealed with excitement from how super cute it was. Elizabeth Shepherd of E-beth Designs created a beautiful Adjustable Fabric Headband Pattern as a free project on her website, and featured our Penelope Collection with it. It’s a simple, but fun project…and is such a great accessory to “jazz up” any outfit for the Spring and Summer!

Elizabeth’s daughter is seen here wearing the Penelope headband, and we think she looks super adorable and so ready for Summer!! Elizabeth is also working on a romper tutorial that will also feature our Penelope collection, and we are SUPER excited to see the finished project! :)

E-beth Designs is a mix between an online pattern/fabric shop and blog filled with lots of fabric, sewing, and project tutorial goodies!! We absolutely adore the modernity and stylish pieces that Elizabeth creates, and are so happy she loves our Penelope Collection. Thank you so much, Elizabeth, for sharing your project with us and for the fabric-love. We absolutely adore the headband, and cannot wait to see the Summer romper!! :) You can find more on E-beth Designs at her blog, Etsy shop, Facebook, and Instagram.

If you have used one of our fabric collections or one of our free projects, we would love to see your projects!! You can always send us pictures at info@camelotfabrics.com or tag us with #camelotfabrics, and you could be featured in a future Fan Friday! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! YAY for Fridays!! Who else is excited for the weekend? We definitely are! Have a fantastic long weekend to our American friends – Happy Memorial weekend :)

It’s time to end another great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a very fun and celebratory quilt that Beth Murray shared with us. She used our Celtic Clover fabric to create and sew up this beautiful quilt for her son-in-law, Garrett. We absolutely adore her choice in colors and fabric. So festive and bright! The more earthy tones go really well with the lovely curved pieced design on the quilt. It is the epitome of a perfect ‘man’ quilt, and we think that Beth did a fabulous job on her Celtic Quilt!

Thank you so much for sharing your Celtic Quilt with us, Beth!! You did an incredible job, and we really hope your son-in-law enjoys his new quilt. If you create a project with our fabric collections or using one of our free projects, we would love to see! You can send all your project pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com and you can be featured in a future Fan Friday. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! :)

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!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! So happy that it is just about the weekend! We recently uploaded our Basics Catalog, so be sure to check it out. As well…Spring 2014 collections are coming!! 3 more days until we start launching our collections.

We have been celebrating our mums this week for Mother’s Day and are ending the week with a very suiting quilt pattern from Quilters’ Paradise for Fan Friday! Quilters’ Paradise is a wonderful quilt shop located in central California, run by 3 girls who adore fabric and all things quilting! And this definitely holds true as the shop has been around for over 37 years! Quilters’ Paradise sells a wide selection of fabrics, including wool which is hand-dyed in store, as well as patterns, notions, books, and more sewing goodies.

As well, they feature Blocks of the Month, kits, and wool projects for both beginner and advanced quilters. They also hold many quilting enthused events such as in-store sewing classes, Spring & Fall shop hops, and a yearly 4-day sewing retreat (including a mystery project, games, and door prizes) organized in the mountains!

One of their partners, Colette Belt, is the quilt designer behind QP Designs. She has created over 60 pattern designs, her latest being Mommy & Me, using our Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee collection! Mommy & Me (how fitting and adorable is this name?! We love it!) is a lovely quilt pattern design that features an appliqued mama elephant and her baby…carrying some sweet balloons! The quilt design is a wonderful block pattern, finished with a ric-rac trim, which looks absolutely lovely with our Gray Matters More collection. This quilt is perfect for any new mommy, and Colette’s inspiration came from the birth of her first granddaughter Kensington! {Congratulations, Colette!!}

We wanted to thank Quilters’ Paradise for sharing this absolutely adorable quilt kit with us. We absolute adore it, and think Gray Matters More is the perfect fabric collection to showcase Mommy & Me. Colette, you are a fantastic designer! Be sure to check out Quilter’ ‘Paradise for even more, as well as on their Facebook and Pinterest. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!
