Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having an awesome day so far. Sew Sisters Quilt Shop is hosting their annual Blogathon Canada and we are proud to be one of the sponsors. They are giving away our Kate FQ bundle as one of the prizes – the giveaway ends tomorrow so be sure to enter :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our incredible pattern designers, Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa is a wife and stay-at-home mommy of five by day, quilting enthusiast by night. Melissa and her family have moved several times across the country, but before the first move, she asked her mom to teach her how to quilt. She wanted a new hobby to keep her busy, and through it, found a new love. She began sewing baby blankets for her friends, and her passion for sewing only grew. She started Happy Quilting in 2010 and, soon after, started to design and sell her own quilt patterns.

We had the opportunity to collaborate with Melissa for our Free Projects Program, and Melissa created two fantastic projects for us. The first is our Hang Time Quilt (above in our Fresh Solids), which is a unique and modern cross quilt that features different fabric patterns and colorways perfectly. We love the intricacy of the design, which would make for a stunning quilt as a bedspread or wall decor.

As well, Melissa designed a Peaks and Valleys Table Runner for us which is a fun zig-zagged table runner that would add a bit of oomph to any coffee table or dining table decor. It looks so pretty in our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee Collection.

Thank you so much, Melissa, for the wonderful collaboration and for the gorgeous project patterns! We are excited for what’s to come. You can find the free PDF printouts for both of Melissa’s patterns here. As well, be sure to check out more from Melissa at Happy Quilting. As well, check out her Facebook Page, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Cheers to a great rest of the day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. So much wind here today! The sun is out and there’s snow on the ground…but it’s freezing out there, so we’re glad to be inside. It’s the last day to enter our Fresh Solids Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. It’s a good one, guys!

And speaking of our Fresh Solids…this week’s How To’s Day features our stunning solids in our New Bohemian Quilt by Sarah Laws Made. Sarah Laws created a couple of wonderful exclusive free quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program, which we are so incredibly enthused to share with you. Sarah’s style is modern and fresh, characteristics that embody who we are at Camelot Fabrics so we were thrilled to work with such a creative pattern designer. Our New Bohemian Quilt is a quilt of triangles sewn together to create a really cool pattern of intricate details and geometric shapes. The colors from our Fresh Solids are vibrant and exuberant, and work perfectly together to create this boho-inspired design.

Our New Bohemian Quilt is a stunner, and would look amazing as a bedspread or even as wall decor. We love this one, and are so happy to have gotten to work with Sarah. Click MORE to see the full tutorial for this quilt!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday!! Today we are featuring one of our lovely project designers, Melissa Stramel of Lilac Lane Patterns! Melissa Stramel is a lover of all things floral! Whether it is tending to her garden, flower arrangement, or creating with floral fabrics, Melissa is always up for the challenge. While staying at home and sewing for her children, Melissa decided to combine her love for fabric & creating patterns by starting a business called Lilac Lane Patterns. After its success, Lilac Lane grew into a store in her hometown of Colby, Kansas called Creations Gallery. A pharmacist by training, Melissa has found the industry that encapsulates her skills and her loves perfectly! Melissa creates and sells her patterns under Lilac Lane, has a blog, and also has published a book! A very busy gal, indeed!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa of Lilac Lane Patterns for a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Melissa has such a creative mind, and created some really unique patterns for us. The first project is her Butterfly Quilt, which has a very cool, scrappy look with adorable little “butterflies” in the quilt design. We absolutely adore it with our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection. As well, her genius “The Sky is Falling” Table Runner with our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham Collection is so modern and fun!

We want to thank Melissa for the incredible patterns for our Free Projects Program!! You can find the free tutorials for the Butterfly Quilt and The Sky is Falling Table Runner on our website. As well, you can find more from Melissa on her website, blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Etsy. Have a good one, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a splendid day. We want to take a moment today to commemorate the incredible and brave men & women for protecting our country. We thank you for all that you have do. Happy Veteran’s Day & Happy Remembrance Day!

It’s time to share another project with you, for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing our Boxy Shift Dress Tutorial. This simple, but elegant dress is the perfect thing to slip into for your next cocktail party! The shift-style of this dress is chic and pretty, and also super comfortable so you’ll be able to dance the night away…and try all the yummy food. The dress is perfect for wearing to the office, and then quickly switching it into a nighttime outfit with some fun accessories! As well, the accented trim adds an extra bit of pizzazz!
 

 
We absolutely love this dress with our Nightfall Collection; the gold and black combination will make you feel so glam in your Boxy Dress and you will definitely stand out, in the best way. Complement your outfit with a matching Foldover Wedding Clutch in white and gold, and you will be the ‘belle of the ball’.

Nikki has created three custom projects for us, the first is her Octagon Pillow which is very geometrically pleasing and showcases a collection wonderfully, such as our Mixology prints.
