Hi everyone!
Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. It’s the Fourth of July for our American friends tomorrow, and we’ve posted our last minute DIY gift ideas last week. Be sure to check it out HERE if you haven’t for lots of festive DIY gift and party ideas! :)
It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are featuring one of our quilt pattern designers…Jessie Kurtz of Harding Hill Designs! Jessie Kurtz is the incredibly talented pattern designer and founder behind Harding Hill Designs, a pattern company dedicated to creating unique and vibrant project patterns that are easy to follow & fun to make! Her stunning patterns can be found on Etsy and Craftsy, as well as some quilt shops!
We had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Jessie of Harding Hill Designs to create a quilt design for our Free Projects Program! Jessie created this beautiful and modern digital quilt pattern with our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk from Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection called Crossroads. We adore the simplicity of the over look, with the cross pattern, and the intricate triangle detailing within the cross. It makes for a very interesting and eye-catching quilt, and would be beautiful as wall décor! You can download the free PDF for the Crossroads Quilt on our website HERE! :)
You can find Harding Hill Designs’ patterns on Etsy and Craftsy, and you can learn more at Jessie’s blog, Facebook Page, and Twitter. We want to say a big thank you to Jessie for creating such a gorgeous quilt design for us, and her wonderful partnership. We had an amazing time working with you!! We hope you really love Crossroads as much as we do – be sure to get the free pattern for it! Have a lovely day, everyone!! :)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday everyone!! Happy Canada Day to all our fellow Canadians! We hope you all are having a great day. Our #PetitePlume Pinterest Giveaway ends this Wednesday!! Be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet :)
It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! It’s no secret that we love all sorts of sweets and yummy food here at the Camelot Design Studio. Have you seen our What We Love Board? :) We enjoy baking sweet treats, and more importantly, eating them…it’s always a good day when someone brings in something delicious to the office. So inspired by all of our sweet tooths, we decided to make macaron pillows with our fleece…and boy did they turn out exceptionally sweet!!
Our Macaron Pillows are soft, comfy, adorable…and almost good enough to eat! We can imagine a bunch of our macarons, in different pastel colors, decorating a daybed or little girl’s bedroom – oh how cute, right? Because we used our plush fleece, they are perfect for cozying up with, either with a good book or for a little nap. We used our rose, turquoise, and white fleece making our macarons a cascade of pastel confectionary!

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our fantastically talented quilt designers, Marta of From Marta With Love! Marta has always been a sewing enthusiast, but she found her true passion with quilting in 2010. A friend had shown her how to piece a quilt block, and from there, she began reading books and blogs on quilting…and found her quilting calling! From there, she started quilting more and created her blog, From Marta With Love, as a way to document her sewing adventures. Her blog is dedicated to both quilts and crafts, and she shares sewing tutorials for quilts and bags, patterns, giveaways, and more. From Marta With Love is bright, colorful, creative, and fresh…and that’s what attracted us to the blog!
We had the pleasure of working with Marta on a quilt design for our Free Projects Program! We loved Marta’s modern design esthetic and knew she would be a wonderful addition to our pattern designers family. Marta created her Chevrons Arrow Quilt for us, and boy is it a stunner!! We absolutely love the perpendicular alignment of the chevrons in this quilt design, and the cleanness of the rest of the space. Marta used our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection from our Spring 2014 lines, with our Au Natural Fresh Solid, and it is soso beautiful. You can find the free PDF download for the Chevrons Arrow Quilt HERE!
We want to thank Marta for creating a gorgeous quilt design for us. We absolutely loved working with you, and hope to continue a wonderful partnership in the future. You are awesome!! :) Be sure to check out more from Marta on her blog, From Marta With Love, as well as on Flickr and Instagram. She also posted about the Chevrons Arrow Quilt on her blog, so be sure to read it here. Thanks again, Marta!! Have a wonderful day! :)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. It isn’t the greatest of weather here today, but gosh is it hot and humid!! It’s days like these where all we want to do is stay indoors with the good ol’ AC :)
To liven things up a little bit here, we have our How To’s Day for you! With Summer officially here, that definitely means enduring in more outdoor activities…especially all things water-related! So excited for Summer days of swimming at the lake, catching up on a good book at the beach, and maybe even having a jet-ski adventure (…depending on how brave we’re feeling that day haha!). We always love a little nautical for the Summer, especially in fashion and décor. Who wouldn’t want to wear a navy and white striped dress and big floppy hat while cruising on the lake in a boat? Um, where do we sign up? :) But if you aren’t planning an adventure of the sorts this Summer either, have no fear…today’s How To’s Day is bringing the water to you!
Today we are sharing our tutorial on our Anchor Pillow, featuring our In The Navy by Jackie McFee Collection. And these two couldn’t be more fitting; our In The Navy collection features anchors, stripes, and dots in a fun navy, pink, and metallic gold color combination! We love the idea of a nautical-inspired guest bedroom or family room – add some decorative shells, some wood paneling, and a couple of our Anchor pillows on a striped couch…and you are all ready to set sail (…or at least it will feel that way haha!). Finish off the look for a nautical-inspired quilt, or two.
Check out the full tutorial for our Anchor Pillow HERE! :)
