Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a brilliant end to the week. Know what we’re craving today? Flaky, buttery croissants. YUM! And it just so happens to be National Croissant Day. So down for one, or some, haha. We are also hosting our Elixir FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so you can enter here.

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a darling quilt we found on Instagram by Jessica Ewing of Always a Crafty Lady. Jessica started her blog, Always a Crafty Lady, at the start of 2015 – a goal to share her handmade projects & inspirations, after seeing the tag “A Year of Making” going around on Instagram. From quilts to clothing for her adorable girls, Jessica shares her passion for handmade items on her blog and gives her experience/tips with each project.

Jessica chose our Fairyville Collection for her super sweet Fairies Quilt that she made as a nap blanket for her daughter. She used a quilt pattern she found on Cluck Cluck Sew. It was also her first time machine quilting, first time binding a quilt, and first time sewing with minky. And the best part? Her daughter adores it!! She also made a second quilt using another of our Heather Rosas’ collections, Folklore.

We are so in love with your Fairies Quilt, Jessica, and are so glad you love our Fairyville Collection. You can check more from Jessica on her blog and Instagram. And if you’re loving our Fairyville Collection, you can check it out here. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a lovely day…TGIF!! To kickstart the weekend, have you entered our Paddington Bear Giveaway yet? Enter to win 3 1/2 yards of our Paddington Bear Collection. It’s the North American premiere of the movie in theaters today, so we’re super excited about that too!

Ending the week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an amazing quilt done by the super talented Katy J that we spotted on Instagram. She has always been a sewing enthusiast, doing something crafty everyday whether it be something for herself, for a gift, or for custom items. She had opened an Etsy Shop for her creations, but has taken a break from it. She sews all sorts of things from quilts, baby quilts, table runners, camera strap covers, to passport and bi-fold wallets. And, she shares her new items on her Facebook Page.

Katy’s husband is an Army pilot and, being inspired by him, has sewn almost 40 Fly Army Baby Quilts in the past four years. She had recently found our Take Flight Collection at a local fabric shop, and was so thrilled by our helicopter prints. When we saw the Take Flight quilt on Instagram, we got SO excited!!

It is an absolutely stunning quilt – the reds, blues, and yellows vibrant and cheery, and would make any future pilot-in-training very happy!! You did such a wonderful job, Katy! :)

Thank you so much, Katy, for the fabric love! We are so happy to have found you and your Take Flight on Instagram, and thank you for letting us share. You can find more from Katy on her Instagram, Facebook, and Etsy. And if you have created a project using one of our collections, we’d love to see. You can send all of your pictures to info@camelotfabrics.com and you could be one of our future Fan Fridays! Have a lovely weekend, everyone! :)

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!
