Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. You can definitely feel the frost in the air today. We’ve had a couple of “sweater weather” days, but now have been abruptly hit with the cold haha. Oh well. There are so many exciting things ahead – Quilt Market, Halloween, and Christmas. It’s also the last day to enter our giveaway! You can enter HERE for a chance to win an Imaginarium FQ Bundle!

 

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been excitedly packing up everything for Fall Quilt Market, getting all our projects (in-house and outsourced) ready for the booth. We cannot wait to share all of our projects, but we have decided to give some little sneak peeks. Today we are featuring our Foldover Wedding Clutch in our Nightfall Collection. This absolutely stunning foldover clutch is the perfect little accessory for a Girls’ Night Out, Date Night, or any other glam event. Perfect in size to fit all your essentials – cell phone, lipstick, and money – this clutch will add some extra pizzazz to any outfit. The foldover design makes it super easy and convenient to use, and the wrap-around string is another unique detail.

We have previously shown this foldover clutch with our Neon & On Collection, which is a perfect statement piece for the summertime, but as we transition to fall and winter, our clothing choices and accessories are, in correlation to the weather, also getting darker.

We love our foldover wedding clutch with our Nightfall Collection because it’s so chic and glam, especially with the gold detailings. This clutch would be perfect with an LBD, but also with any other color because the gold really does pop! This clutch would be a perfect bridesmaid’s or birthday gift, especially along with our Trellis Edged Robe (free tutorial here).

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s How To’s Day feature. You can find the full, free tutorial for our Foldover Wedding Clutch on our blog, as well as the free PDF printout. We’d love to know what you would pair with our foldover wedding clutch in Nightfall, as well as what your ideal night out would be. Have a great day, everyone!

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.

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!! 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!
