Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! It’s the end of the week! We are looking forward to staying IN this weekend..soso cold. It was definitely a trek coming into the office this morning with the blowing snow and -30C temperatures – BRR!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a lovely pillow with our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk Collection. Fili & Lino is a blog by two crafty girls who met through the interwebs! We love that!! Together they created a blog to share their passion for crafting & sewing. They feature fantastic tutorials, their latest project adventures, and have an Etsy Shop for custom orders. They also post their latest creations on Instagram, where we saw their Let’s Go Pillow. Instant joy from us! We adore the feather print in our Let’s Go Collection, and think it looks fantastic as an accent pillow. Perfect for accessorizing a bed or tub chair!

Thanks so much for the tag, girls! We’re obsessed with your Let’s Go pillow and think you have a lovely blog. You can find more from Fili & Lino on their blog, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Instagram. And that’s about it for this week. Have a wonderful weekend!! :)

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love ♥ It’s definitely not a secret that the Camelot Design Studio loves Pinterest. So much inspiration to be found, from new trends to delicious recipes…and of course, Pinterest’s infamous memes. Love us a good meme! This week, we’ve been enjoying all the runway shows from NYFW; luxurious colors, fun textures and prints…what’s not to love? From homemade ginger beer and pretty florals, see what else we’ve been inspired by… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a fantastic day. It’s Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year), and it’s the year of the sheep. We wish you all a wonderful year full of happiness, prosperity, and memories.

Today’s Thankful Thursday is featuring a lovely pattern shop that we have had the pleasure of working with. We have worked with Alicia of Swoon Sewing Patterns for our Quilt Market shows, and her bags are always a hit. Swoon Sewing Patterns offers pretty, modern patterns for bags and other accessories, and are one of our favorite pattern shops online. From travel bags to her oversized clutch, there’s a pattern for just about every occasion.

Each pattern is easy-to-follow and clear, and the end result is a gem, made by you, that will not look “homemade”. Alicia is a graphic designer by trade, who fell in love with sewing. She found that the commercial patterns she used were not always user-friendly, and decided to try her hand at pattern-making. From there, Swoon Sewing Patterns has only grown – from Etsy to quilt shops – to become many sewers’ preferred, “go-to” pattern shop. And we couldn’t agree more!

Alicia chose our Design Studio Collection to be on the cover of her Dorothy Day Tripper Bag Pattern. We got super excited!! She had made this bag for one of our past QM shows, and everyone LOVED it…so we are so happy that she chose to feature it as the cover. It is stunning, and would be the perfect, stylish weekend or diaper bag!

Thank you so much, Alicia, for featuring our Design Studio Collection on your cover. We have had so much fun working with you, and hope we get to again soon!! You can find more from Swoon Sewing Patterns on her website, Facebook Page, Instagram, and Pinterest. Have an amazing rest of the day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
