Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a restful weekend. As well…Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! May your day (and all the days forward) be filled with good health, good luck, and happiness – the three virtues that represent each leaf on a shamrock. We hope you find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow today! :)

To start our week, we are going to share with you some fabric and color inspiration with today’s Moody Monday post. Today we are going to inspire you with our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection. Just as the name implies, this is a stunning neon infused collection. Yup, you read right – a neon fabric collection!! Our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection is a lovely array of neon pink, green, and yellow geometric prints against a white background to really make the colors pop. There is no shying away with this fabric collection, as the neon colors are very vibrant and luminous – exactly as you would imagine neon to be!

Our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection is perfect for adding pops of color to your outfit with a neon bag, skirt, or headband while keeping the rest of the outfit neutral (unless you’re even more bold, then neon all the way!). As well, our neon fabric collection would look stunning as a pop of color in any room décor. This collection screams fun, effortless, and vivacious – and that’s just how you will feel with Neon & On by Jackie McFee. You can check out the full collection here!

Spring is just around the corner (at least according to our calendar!), so we have been excitedly filling our wardrobes with pretty things to wear for the upcoming season. Neon colors are always “in” for Spring and Summer, and a perfect way to break away from the many darker colors and layers of the colder months. After being bundled up for that long, bring on as much color as possible we say! One collection that we especially loved for Spring 2014 was Lulu Frost’s latest collection. Although Lulu Frost is an accessories brand, their NYFW display was a color-infused, show-stopping experience. Their latest Spring collection is called “Neon Baroque” and they grabbed inspiration from that for their show. The models were dressed in ethereal neon tulle skirts and crop tops, their décolletages and wrists saturated with stacks of the glistening jewels that also carried on the neon trend. You can check out the full collection here, as well as the Lulu Frost website for more!

Thank you so much for checking out this week’s Moody Monday! We hope we have inspired you. Wishing everyone a luck-filled day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!! We hope you are all having a great day. Today is March 14th…or 3.14! Physicist Larry Shaw took a look at the calendar, noticed the correlation between the day and π (3.1415…), and made the day official! The day has now been celebrated for 26 years…because I mean, who wouldn’t want a reason to celebrate and eat piE too! So, kick back and relax (it’s just about the weekend!), enjoy a piece of pie, and Happy Pi Day! :)

To end our week, we have our weekly Fan Friday for you all. Today we are sharing with you a project using our Gray Matters by Jackie McFee Collection. Nancy, from Cache Creek Quilts, absolutely loves all things quilt-related. Nancy began her love for the craft of quilting when her sons left home, and though she started sewing at a young age, got her passion for quilting from a friend and never turned back!

Nancy also has a blog where she shares her quilting projects and stories, as well as an Etsy shop to display her new creations. Along with quilting, Nancy does enjoy sewing other projects too, such as her potholders. She uses pretty floral and nature-inspired fabrics for her potholders, which can add a feminine flair to any kitchen display. Nancy loves our Gray Matters by Jackie McFee Collection and used our fabric for some potholders that she made. With Gray Matters, the potholders are fun and would make any kitchen décor more lively and bright!

You can check out all of Nancy’s creations at her Etsy Shop, Cache Creek Quilts, and follow her quilt stories on her blog. Thank you for sharing your beautiful project with us, and for loving our fabric!

If you have created a project with one of our fabric collections or using our Free Projects Program, please email us at info@camelotfabrics.com – You could be featured in a future Fan Friday post. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. We are getting excited for Saint Patrick’s Day next week, lots of crafty and green ideas stirring in the office :)

Today we’ve got a new project to share with you; it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been sharing lots of incredible quilts from our quilt designers on our website. All the quilts are beautiful, featuring our fabric collections perfectly, and they are free projects (including detailed instructions, diagrams, and patterns!). Be sure to check out all of our recent quilt designs!

This week’s How To’s Day is sharing with you a tutorial on a simple, but modern quilt design! This tutorial is such a great one for the beginner quilters because there aren’t too many pieces, the instructions are clear & concise, and the end result is a stunning quilt to call your own! :)

We used our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection for this quilt, which makes it very fresh, vibrant, and pretty. This would be the perfect quilt for snuggling up with a book on those cooler nights, to use as an esthetic piece to vamp up a room, or even as wall décor!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! Sending everyone positive vibes to a great start to the week :) Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. The weather here has been slightly gloomy, and now with the holidays officially over, we’re here to share a bit of brightness with today’s Moody Monday. Today we are inspiring you with our Bright Now by Jackie McFee moodboard!

Bright Now by Jackie McFee is a festive collection of vibrant, strong, and yes, bright colors – fun hues of pink, yellow, and blue. This is an especially on-trend collection with the surprising leopard print, bold floral, and chevron patterns. This would be the perfect collection for a flirty skirt to add to your wardrobe or to vamp up any stylish girl’s room! Our Bright Now collection is youthful, playful, and fierce. You can check out the full collection here!

With the weather still being super chilly here (ie. parka weather!), we were in need of something vivacious to liven up the day. And considering a hot beach vacation is not in the near future for us, our Bright Now by Jackie McFee moodboard is just that perfect inspiration for today. We hope you enjoyed our Moody Monday and have been inspired, and we hope you have a great rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!
