Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a brilliant day. It’s National Cookie Day – and all we can say to that is…where are the cookies?! Haha! Bring on the oatmeal, chocolate chip and macadamia nuts cookies pleaseee. YUM!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! This week we are featuring one of our fantastic project designers…Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter! Together Stephanie and Michelle, both fabric and quilting enthusiasts & mums, own and operate Late Night Quilter – a professional longarm quilting and pattern design company, and accompanying blog! The Late Night Quilter blog is a wonderful quilting haven that is dedicated to quilting projects and tutorials, all things modern & pretty, and longarm quilting services. They are focused on sharing their quilting tips and tricks, their latest quilting creations, and inspiring others with their love for fabric.

We had the lovely opportunity of working with Stephanie on a couple of quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. Stephanie created three modern, whimsical quilt designs for us and we adore them all! They all embrace the esthetic that is Camelot Fabrics and showcases our fun fabric collections wonderfully. The first is a beautiful quilted pillow pattern called High Tide – a pillow design of diagonal pieces that create interesting triangle and trapezoid shapes. It’s a great pillow for showing a multitude of patterns, such as our London Fog Collection, in a cool way.

The second pattern is a stunning quilt design called Summer on the Sound, a pattern of pretty starbursts. We adore how it looks with our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection, focusing on the beautiful pinks and greens while keeping the rest neutral. Saybrook Island is another quilt pillow that creates a gorgeous, symmetrical  “leaf like” pattern – we think it looks perfect with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection! [CLICK TO SEE MORE]

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday…and Happy Halloween!! We hope everyone is having a ghoul-d day ;) We’ve got the Halloween spirit in the office today. Who says we can’t dress up and work? So much fun! We’re also hosting our Beyond the Backyard FQB x Westcott Giveaway on our Facebook, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet.

It’s also time to end another fun-filled week with our Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring an adorable project using one of our collections from the awesome blog, Say Chez. Jen Chesnick is the blogger behind Say Chez, the name sparked from her nickname “Chez” and thus became her trademark. Jen started her blog because of her love for sewing and pretty fabrics, and found blogging as an outlet to share her projects & DIYs. Apart from her love for sewing, Jen is also a scrapbooking and photography enthusiast. Jen features the projects she makes (including adorable clothing for her daughter!) and scrapbook designs on her blog.

Jen decided to create an adorable Tilly Top from Brownie Goose Patterns, and modified it slightly for her daughter. A recent discovery of how easy sleeves are to sew, Jen had so much fun with this tunic top pattern.She modified it slightly by closing the back, extending the bodice, and adding sleeves. Such a sweet touch, and the ruffles? That gets a “yes!” from us!

Jen used our Fairyville by Heather Rosas Collection to make her adorable tunic top, and we think it is just the sweetest thing ever. The girly fairy-filled prints are perfect for a little nugget who loves to be a girly-girl and play outdoors too. Her daughter is seriously the most adorable girl ever. She looks so cute in her Fairyville top. And we hope she loves her top as much as we do!!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Jen! We are so happy you love our Fairyville Collection, and thank you for sharing it with us! Her daughter rocking her tunic is seriously the cutest thing ever. You can find more from Jen at her blog, Say Chez, as well as on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a Happy Halloweeeeen everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!

Time for another Fall 2014 Collections launch! We are bringing you as close to the beach as we can with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection. Sea Life brings to life everything we love most about the sea – playful sea creatures (starfish, fish, and friendly turtles), sea plants, and of course, a water-inspired greens and turquoise color palette. We can imagine an under-the-sea themed nursery or bedroom, complete with Sea Life star pillows and quilt. Our Wallace the Whale would look absolutely dashing in Sea Life. As well, this collection is perfect for any beach house…or beach-themed house decor!

We love all the prints in our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection that it fits perfectly with our Quilt Bars by Tamarinis Quilt. The large bars allow for all the adorable sea creatures to be upfront and center!

We hope you love our Sea Life by Heatehr Rosas Collection. We would love to know what you think, and what you would create with this sea-themed collection. Be sure to check our website for lots of proh\ject ideas. And stay tuned for more!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. We had a lovely weekend picking apples and pumpkins, which calls for lots more fall baking! Yum, yum! As well, we are still hosting our Imaginarium FQB Giveaway on our Facebook Page. The giveaway runs until this Wednesday, so be sure to enter if you haven’t. Looking forward to reading all of your responses!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Folklore by Heather Rosas Collection. This absolutely gorgeous collection reminds us all the things we love about about the springtime – fluttery birds, fresh tulip and rose blooms, and crisp leaves. The cream, turquoise, and ruby colorway of Folklore makes this collection lively and feminine, with a whimsical and Scandinavian feel. These beautiful designs would add a pop of fresh color to any interior – from bedroom to kitchen – and would also make some adorable garments (think: little tunics and aprons).

We have been excitedly following all the new collections for Spring 2015. We love seeing the upcoming trends and ideas to inspire us. One collection we have especially adored was that of Paul & Joe’s Spring 2015 RTW collection – all the garments were bold, impact-ful, and  warm in tones & patterns. We loved the bohemian feel of the whole collection…something we adore for the Spring and Summer. This ensemble especially caught our eyes, a pattern resembling that of our Folklore Collection. LOVE! You can see the full collection for Paul & Joe’s 2015 RTW here.

We hope we have inspired you today with our Moody Monday! We’d love to know if there has been any Spring collections that have caught your eye. Have a great day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone work on any fun crafting or quilting projects this weekend? We’d love to know! We are also giving away a Petite Plume FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter if you haven’t. Click HERE to enter!!

The official, last Monday of August!! Today we are sharing our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection for this week’s Moody Monday. It’s a Bird’s Life brings you the majestic-ness of a beautiful and temperate field of fresh blooms. The sounds of the birds happily chirping, the smell of the luscious florals, and the feeling of the crisp air – that is all the things that It’s a Bird’s Life reminds us of. This collection is a mix of warm grey, coral, yellow, and mint hues in whimsical designs of birds, birdhouses, flowers, and geometric patterns. We could imagine a darling little girl’s half-circle skirt or little tot’s tote in this collection. And, how about a floral & bird infused quilt or two for your bedroom or living room? LOVE! You can check out the full collection HERE.

One collection that reminds us of the prettiness of our It’s a Bird’s Life is that of Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2014 RTW Collection. Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2014 Collection  encapsulates a very whimsical, nature-inspired feel to it with floral vines decorating the clothing pieces and printed scenes from Greece. Gabbana describes the collection as “an unconscious dream”, as the clothing have a contrasting feel of real and what is irrational, which can only be found in dreams. We get that sense of fantasy and imagination in this collection, which inspired us with this week’s Moody Monday for It’s a Bird’s Life. You can check out the full collection for Dolce & Gabbana‘s Spring 2014 collection HERE.

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! Let us know what you favorite design is in our It’s a Bird’s Life Collection. Have a good one!

Happy Sewing!
