Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful end of the workweek. We have been launching our Fall 2014 Collections today on our website and blog, as well as our social media sites, so be sure to check them. We’d love to know what you think, and which ones are your favorite!! We definitely couldn’t choose just one! We’re also in Houston for Fall Quilt Market, so if you’ll be there too, be sure to stop by Booth #1824 to say “hello!”

 

It’s time to end a great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful online shop who makes the sweetest of quilts, Now and Then Quilts. Dana is the owner of and creative behind Now and Then Quilts, an Etsy Shop that was launched as a way to share her love for quilting. Dana enjoys the whole process of quilting, from choosing the fabric to seeing the quilt “come to life”, which makes each quilt all the more special. Dana is a loving wife, mother to four, and a grandmother to three…all whom she loves to sew and quilt for. Now and Then Quilts is all about beautiful quilt designs, from adorable but modern baby quilts to Christmas stockings and other fun accessories. All items are made with love, the perfect addition to any little ones’ nursery. She has quilts for girls and boys in a variety of colors, sizes, and fabric designs to appeal to everyone.

Dana created a beautiful baby quilt with our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection. This Modern Baby Girl Quilt is absolutely stunning, the different patterns from What a Gem in a block patchwork design. This modern, whimsical quilt is perfect for a baby girl who is as fierce as she is chic! As Dana says “because every now and then you just need that special quilt“, and we think her What a Gem quilt truly is special.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday!! We hope you are having a fantastic of the week. Does anyone have any plans for the weekend? It’s supposed to be raining tomorrow, but that is not stopping us from taking this last opportunity for apple and pumpkin picking, before the season is officially over. So excited!! Another exciting thing is our Imaginarium Giveaway on our Facebook Page – click HERE to enter! :)

 

Time to end another great week with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring Pillow Loft Home Decor who creates fabulous pillows and home decor accessories for all your interior decorating needs! From bolster pillows to decorative pillows to curtain valances, they’ve got everything you need to make any space super stylish. Cheryl Britton is the owner and creative mind behind Pillow Loft Home Decor, a business idea that sparked from a young age. Cheryl would sell her handmade potholders door-to-door as an elementary school girl, and her love for creating things only sparked as an adult. Together with a business background and a passion for creating, she decided to start her Etsy Shop. She had already been making her own valances and pillows for her own home, so it was a perfect avenue for her to start something new. Cheryl loves all types of fabric styles, from nature-inspired prints to florals to more contemporary patterns. And to top it all off, one of her pillows has been featured in Good Housekeeping!!

Cheryl chose our Design Studio Collection for her Bolster Pillow, and it looks amazing. The wonderful grey and yellow chevrons design would be a perfect accent pillow for any neutral living room or bedroom space – a subdued way for some color pop! All of her creations are of amazing handmade quality and this pillow is no exception. We love that the pillow insert is included with it too, so no need for searching for a “right fit”.

We want to thank Cheryl for the fabric love! We are so happy you love our Design Studio Collection and have used it in your designs; the Bolster Pillow is a stunner. You can find more from Pillow Loft Home Decor on Etsy, as well as on Twitter and Facebook. Have a great weekend!!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful end to the work week. It’s Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so we are so excited to spend time with our loved ones, have some great laughs, and of course, eat lots and lots of delicious food. We are thankful for so many things in our lives, it would be an endless post, so we keep it short and sweet. We want to take the time to thank our wonderful family, friends, and supporters…and of course all of you; we appreciate all of our fellow fabric enthusiasts so much. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to stop by the Camelot Fabrics blog to say hello; it really means so much to us! :)

 

And speaking of fabric enthusiasts, it’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring Rocking Horse Design, an online shop dedicated to making handmade Lolita-style dresses and skirts in bright and fun comic & cartoon fabric designs. As well, they create customized cosplay garments which can be tailored and suited for different needs. With a love affair for cartoons and comics, it is no doubt that they would also translate that love in their fabric choices. They love Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, Adventure Time, and other popular comics…and choose fabric collections that represent who they are, with a modern twist.

Rocking Horse Design loves the Lolita-style of clothing, which is translated in all their designs, with a vintage flair. Their dresses have sweetheart necklines and their skirts are full, girly, and flirty. Using cartoon and comic prints, the dresses look absolutely adorable and so much fun to wear! Who wouldn’t want to look fabulous, rocking their favorite comic book or cartoon? They love our Marvel, Star Trek, and Star Wars fabric collections and chose some of our prints for their dresses. We absolutely LOVE how they turned out!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday!! TGIF!! We hope everyone had a wonderful first week of October. If you haven’t entered our Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page, be sure to head on over now. We are giving away 11 assorted sheets of our hard felt, and we are so excited for whoever wins this one. You can find lots of felt projects inspiration on our Pinterest.

 

It’s time to end another great with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring some wonderful projects featuring our What a Gem Collection, from Julie of Mackenzie Monroe. Mackenzie Monroe started from the need for a creative outlet. Interior designer by day, sewing enthusiast by night, Julie decided to channel her love for sewing in a fun way. She found a passion for sewing and fabrics in her seventh grade home economics class, a love that only sparked further in college and adulthood. Julie started Mackenzie Monroe in 2011, where she sells her beautiful creations – bags, totes, doggie accessories, and much more can be found at her shop. Julie also attends local craft markets where she also sells her lovely creations.

 

Julie loves fun and whimsical fabrics, and has chosen our What a Gem for some of her tote bags. They look so lovely, we just had to share them with you all!! She used our What a Gem by Allison Cole Collection for the main print, choosing to highlight the prettiness of the designs against a canvas accent fabric. We think they look oh-so pretty, and would be beautiful everyday bags to carry your essentials…

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday! How has everyone’s week been? It’s been pretty nice here weather-wise, so definitely no complaints…a great way to start off the Fall season. As well, it’s National Pancake Day so we’re thinking pancakes for dinner tonight? Why not haha! We love us a good ol’ stack of blueberry (or chocolate chip…or pumpkin spice…or plain for that matter, we won’t say no) pancakes! Oh yum!! :)

 

It’s time to end another great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful little business that has recently made its way online to Etsy. And, as always, this shop features lots of stunning items in delicious and beautiful fabric selections. Lynn, of Lynn Patricia Designs, absolutely adores to sew and finds joy in her sewing studio, playing with all her colorful fabrics and making her sewing machine hum. Because of her passion, she decided to start Lynn Patricia Designs to start selling her designs. She loves bright and colorful patterns, and chooses them to make fun handbags, key fobs, wallets, and other accessories. As well, Lynn can be found at Arts & Crafts Fairs in the Ohio area selling all her lovely designs…

Lynn created these awesome insulated water bottle totes that are great for on-the-go, road trips, and diaper bags! We really love the idea of this water bottle tote, and such a brilliant idea that it is insulated (great for hot and cold drinks). Lynn used our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection for her insulated water bottle totes, and they look fantastic! Our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection makes this water bottle tote bright, fun, and adorable.
