Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We are back from a wonderful and restful long weekend. We hope all our fellow Canadians had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend spent with family and friends. So much to be thankful for, including all of you – our fellow Fabric enthusiasts. We are so appreciative of all your sweet contributions and kind words.

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! With the rush of Quilt Market, we have been busy with sewing up new and fun projects for our booth…and we cannot wait to share them with you all!! Today we have decided to feature one of our quilts from our Free Projects Program on our website. Melissa Stramel, of Lilac Lane Patterns, is one of our fantastic quilt designers and she created a stunning, fluttery quilt design for us with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee collection.

Our Butterfly Quilt features the subdued grey and mint patterns in a very unique way – the unexpected square placements give this quilt an intricate look, along with the little butterflies. We love how this quilt turned out, especially with our Mint Condition collection.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. It’s been a mix of weather these past couple of days – rain and sunshine periodically throughout the day – so it’s been a little difficult figuring out how to dress in the morning. That’s Fall weather for you, haha. Also if you haven’t entered our Felt Giveaway yet, be sure to enter here. It’s the last day, and we have been excitedly reading all your creative answers! :)

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! With the rush of Quilt Market, we have been busy with sewing up new and fun projects for our booth…and we cannot wait to share them with you all!! Today we have decided to feature one of our past tutorials, but in a different collection. Our Easy Pillow Slip tutorial has been previously shown here on the blog, with our Take Flight Collection. We loved the idea of an aviator-themed bedroom for a little pilot-in-training, complete with pillowcases decorated with planes, helicopters, and other fun flight gadgets.

Another kid-friendly collection, also from our wonderful Vita Mechachonis, is our Playground collection. Playground is, as the name suggests, all about having fun at your favorite outdoor jungle gym or park area. Filled with nostalgic playground rides, whimsical numbers, and fun coordinating prints in soft blue, tan, and orange hues…this collection reminds us of the carefree days spent playing outside with our school friends. Our Playground pillowcases are so easy to make, and are a unique way to add a bit of spunk to any little nugget’s bed.

You can find the full, free tutorial on our blog, as well as a printable PDF version on our website. If you decide to give this project a try, or any of our free DIYs, we would love to see! You can send all your project pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. Today is National Mulled Cider Day…yum! And just perfect for the cooler weather, we definitely could use a mug of mulled cider this morning.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been busy expanding our Free Projects Program on our website, and have been getting such amazing responses from all of you. We thought we would share our newest additions, to our website, on the blog. Today we are featuring our Twist on Tradition Quilt by Larene Smith of The Quilted Button. This is a beautiful, whimsical, and scrappy-like quilt design that would work wonderfully for a baby’s nursery or as an accent quilt on a sofa. The wispy design makes this quilt look very intricate and exquisite, and we think it would be remarkable as wall decor. As well, it looks just fabulous with our Pastel Me More collection, making this quilt happy and popping.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Happy First of Fall everyone!! Taking a walk outside yesterday, it definitely smelled and felt like Fall…and we loved it – the crisp and cool air, the smell of fireplaces burning, and the wonderful crunching of leaves!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! We’re taking you back in time to a past featured tutorial, our Insulated Lunch Hamper, that so many of you absolutely adored. So many of you loved the idea of an insulated lunch hamper for your picnics, road trips, and outdoor school games & events. Because of the Spacetex insulation, you’ll be able to use the hamper for keeping cold drinks cool, and hot drinks…well you know, hot. There’s nothing more disappointing than drinking lukewarm hot cocoa on a frigid, Winter day.

We featured our Insulated Lunch Hamper with Mint Condition – a beautiful, soft mint & grey collection of floral, hexagonal, and dotted prints. This week, we are sharing our lunch hamper in a completely different collection, and absolutely love how it turned out as well.

Our What a Gem by Allison Cole for Camelot Fabrics collection is bright, popping, and modern with its stunning dream catcher, arrows, and succulents prints in eye-catching navy, coral, and emerald. It amps up our lunch hamper to new heights, making it super stylish and fresh. Even your teens will want to carry this hamper around, we guarantee it! And now you find the full, free tutorial of our Insulated Lunch Hamper in printable PDF form on our website – just click HERE to find the full instructions.

If you decide to give this tutorial a try, we would love to see! You will find all our Free Projects on our website, including our Insulated Lunch Hamper. You can always send your project pictures, of one of our DIYs or using one of our collections, to info@camelotfabrics.com. You could be featured in a future Fan Friday post! We hope everyone has a great first day of Autumn! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today is definitely the perfect day for a pumpkin spice latte and cuddling up in a thick, warm quilt. Whether we want it to come or not, Fall will be upon us in officially one week.

We have been excitedly getting prepared for Fall Quilt Market with our projects and other goodies, and can’t wait to share them with you all. For this week’s How To’s Day, we wanted to share with you one of our past, in-house free projects that so many of you enjoyed. Our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket is an easy patchwork blanket, that mimics the look of a quilt (without the need for advanced quilting skills). It’s adorable, cozy, and the perfect size to wrap your little nugget in. We had previously shared our tutorial on our blog with our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection, with the subdued blue and tan hues making our baby blanket soothing and comforting.

We decided to create a fun version of our baby blanket with our Girl Power II collection – the bright colors make this blanket POP! As well, our Girl Power II collection makes it awesome for any little superheroine-in-training with the Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl designs decorating the blanket. We love the idea of your little superheroine snuggled up in her favorite blanket, dreaming to her heart’s content on all the *super* things she wants to do, whether it be playing all day in the yard or having a tea party with all her favorite companions. And we know, all our Girl Power fellow enthusiasts will be loving this blanket just as much (if not, more!) than she does…

As mentioned, we had featured our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket as a DIY project on the blog, which you can find here. As well, we have a PDF version on our website that can be easily printed out for you to create. You can find it here, as well as our Free Projects Program.

We really hope you love our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket as much as we do! We’d love to know your thoughts. And if you get the chance to make your own version, we’d love to see. You can always send your project pictures to us at info@camelotfabrics.com or tag us on Instagram. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
