Welcome!

We have introduced our Mixology Collection for Fall 2014 today, a collection of four beautiful blending prints with our Fresh Solids colors. The second in the collection is our… Herringbone Collection!

You can check out the full Mixology: Herringbone Collection on our website.  We’d love to know your favorite! Stay tuned for more…

A new season calls for new fabric collections!! Get ready for our Fall 2014 Collections, all set to launch at this year’s Fall Quilt Market in Houston. (PS: If you’ll be there, be sure to stop by Booth #1824 and say hi – we would LOVE to see you and share with you all our latest collections & projects!).

Because we are just too excited, we’ve decided to launch something that we have been busily and eagerly working on. Get ready for our…Mixology Collection!! Mixology is a stunning 4 part collection of blending patterns in a delicious and punching mix of our Fresh Solids colors. They are perfect for all your project and quilting needs, to perfectly mix with our other collections (ie. any forgotten leftovers?) or just as pretty on their own. See our moodboard below for some inspiration! We bring to you our Mixology Woven Collection, Tonic Collection, Honeycomb Collection, and Herringbone Collection.

Following this post, we’re going to share a preview of each collection here and we’d love to know which are your favorites. You can also head on over to our website to see the full collections and all their prettiness. We hope you are as excited we are about our Mixology Collection!! Stay tuned for more…

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday everyone! We hope everyone is feeling fantastic! We are hosting another awesome Winsday this week, we are giving away our Itty Bitty FQB and two coordinating Aurifil spools!! Such a great prize pack, so if you’d like to enter the giveaway be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page.

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a wonderful and delectable craft magazine, Craft Ideas! We are such huge fans of Craft Ideas Magazine, not just for their incredible content, but also the people are the sweetest. We want to take a moment to thank Annie Niemic for being such a lovely person to work with and get to know! We have featured Craft Ideas on the blog previously, which you can check out here, but there can never be too much praise for this magazine. We love this magazine for its creative crafts, from beading to sewing to crocheting and everything else in between!

Yes, it’s still Summer but it’s never too early to start thinking about Fall and Winter decor ideas (am I right? haha!). We absolutely adore Craft Ideas’ Autumn-inspired magazine, which is giving us so many fabulous ideas for upcoming crafts for the fall season. It’s so lovely to flip through the vibrant pages and see all the warm autumn hues! There’s even a Halloween section (we are big fans of Halloween in the Camelot Design Studio…dressing up = the best thing ever!), and are excited to make the mini dracula ornaments – too cute!! If you continue to flip through the magazine, you’ll find two of our projects – our Herringbone Quilt by Christa Quilts (p.72) and our Roonie the Raccoon Pillow (p.68)!

Thank you so much Craft Ideas for featuring our projects!! They look absolutely amazing and we are so excited to see them in print. Be sure to check out Craft Ideas on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest for lots more, as well as their website for more craft inspiration! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful, blissful, and relaxed long weekend filled with love, family time, and chocolate :) As well, Happy Earth Day! We always try to do our part to help out our planet as much as we can, and sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference. For example, using a reusable tote at the grocery store, reusing fabric napkins, and a fun fabric ring stacking toy game are some ways you can “stay green” too! Any of our DIY projects are some easy ways to be crafty and use/reuse some fabric in your stash! :)

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing another of our quilt patterns from one of our quilt designers, Christa Watson of Christa Quilts. The Herringbone Quilt, featured with our Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee Collection, is a very classic and clean design. This quilt would look spectacular with just about any fabric collection, but it features our gray- and yellow-hued collection perfectly by showcasing all the designs in a lovely uniformed manner.

Christa showcased this quilt on her blog, with a couple of really great tips, including how to work with directional fabric! We love this post because it really helps fine-tune the details of a finished quilt’s look. We are also very excited because this will be one of our featured quilts at Spring Quilt Market – we cannot wait to showcase it at the show because we know it will surely be a showstopper!

You can check out the free printable PDF of this quilt pattern on our website, but we are going to break it down for you in this post. We hope you enjoy! Click MORE to see the rest!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day so far. We woke up today to a Winter Wonderland this morning…yup, lots and lots more snow and cold. It looks like Spring isn’t upon us any time soon. We love our Winters, but we are ready for blooming flowers and green grass! We hope everyone is having a better weather day than us!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are sharing a very talented and special quilt designer…Christa Watson! Christa began her love for quilting in 1994, and never turned back! From there, her love for the hobby translated into teaching quilting, and eventually, a full-time business. Christa now teaches quilting, creates stunning quilt patterns, sells fabric and supplies at ChristaQuilts.com, and runs a quilting blog. Christa’s creativity for quilt designs goes both ways with traditional and more modern esthetics, providing a fantastic range in many different quilt patterns!

Christa’s talent has been published in Quilty Magazine, as well as being the featured cover quilt for the November/December 2013 edition, and works with many fantastic companies and partnerships. Christa is even one of the Modern Quilt Guild’s recent contest’s finalists, with her quilt design Modern X, as the March 2014 member spotlight. Christa’s intuitive eye for color and design is definitely spot-on! Congratulations, Christa!

We have the privilege of partnering with Christa as one of our quilt designers. Christa created a wonderful and modern quilt design for us using our Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee fabric collection. The quilt design is called the Herringbone Quilt, and perfectly highlights the different gray and yellow designs perfectly. The quilt is absolutely amazing – it seriously is a piece of art. Christa will also be sewing up this quilt for us. We will be featuring it at Spring Quilt Market this year in Pittsburgh, and we are very excited about that! It’s going to be a real stunner in person!!

All of our quilt designs are free projects on our website, so you can create your very own Herringbone Quilt by finding the full instructions here. Christa’s instructions are clear and concise, easy to follow, and the end result? A beautiful and modern quilt! Thank you so much, Christa, for creating this lovely quilt design for us. We are very thankful for your partnership, and are very excited for all the future endeavors to come! You can find Christa on her blog, website, and Facebook page.

Happy Sewing!
