Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a fantastic day. It’s sunny, it’s cheery, but it’s still cold here haha. Spring, where are you? We promise to greet you with open arms.

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday. Today, we wanted to share a couple of projects from one of our pattern designers – The Cloth Parcel. Run by a dynamic mother-daughter duo, Audrey and Diane, The Cloth Parcel is an online sewing, quilting, and crafting supplies shop. From a beautiful selection of fabrics to all of your notion-needs, The Cloth Parcel is dedicated to supplying you with all your crafting needs. As well, they sell wonderful kits  for some awesome projects. In addition to running their online supplies shop, Audrey and Diane also create and sell their own quilt patterns!

We have had the pleasure of working with Audrey and Diane, to create a quilt pattern for our Free Projects Program. Their Tumbling Jewels Quilt is a stunner, and has definitely been a favorite on the interwebs! We decided to have a physical Tumbling Jewels Quilt made up with our London Fog Collection (as seen above!), and it looks absolutely fantastic. As always, beautiful quilt work by the girls. We had a blast styling it, and we can’t wait to feature it in upcoming events.

As well, the girls recently launched a new quilt design on their website called Theory of Refraction. Aside from the super cool name (any fellow physics buffs?), their Theory of Refraction Quilt is so lovely to look at. They chose to feature our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham Collection on the pattern cover, and it looks wonderful! Inspired by a prism, we adore how the colors and patterns intertwine with one another in this quilt design, to create a beautiful look. Great choice, girls!

Thank you, girls, for sharing your talents and creativity with us! It’s been wonderful working with you both. You can find the free pattern for Tumbling Jewels here. As well, find more from The Cloth Parcel on their website, blog, Instagram, and Facebook Page. Have a great rest of the day!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! We hope you are all having a wonderful day. We have been sharing our Winter 2015 Collections with you all this week. You can check them out here! As well, we’re hosting a Winsday this week – enter to win a Red Panda Pattern & Felt Prize on our Facebook Page.

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Because it’s Valentine’s Day this Saturday, we wanted to dedicated this week’s post to “love”. Whether you’ll be spending the day with your significant other, family, friends, or catching up on some sewing projects…the term “love” can mean so many different things. Yes, Valentine’s Day has been commercialized as a day to celebrate your love with your significant other – flowers, chocolate, dinner – but the root of the day, to us, is about the love you have and the love you give. We’ve heard the term “S.A.D.” (aka single’s awareness day) coined for those who don’t have a partner to celebrate with. But, NO! You don’t need to be in a relationship to feel love ♥

We feel love when we’re doing something we enjoy (sewing, shopping, baking…), are hanging out with our significant others & friends, and come into work everyday in our fabric wonderland haha. We also feel the love when we get comments from all of YOU, on our projects, blog posts, and new fabric collections. Hearing all of your positive and sweet comments makes our DAY!! So, thank YOU for making us feel loved. We hope we do the same when you stop by the blog everyday ♥

Remember that Valentine’s Day isn’t a day just for couples, and it shouldn’t be the only day to commemorate love either. Hug, kiss, compliment, and laugh with the people who make you feel loved today, and everyday!! ♥ And remember, never forget the person in the mirror = YOU!! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! We hope you have a love-filled weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

It’s our official Winter 2015 Collections Launch Week! Yesterday we launched our first collection, Zoey by our Camelot Design Studio, and we’re so glad you all have been loving it.

Let’s keep the launch week going with collection #2. Today we are launching our Gypsy Lane Collection by Jane Farnham for Camelot Fabrics. Gypsy Lane is just as the name suggests, a collection that is colorfully boho-inspired and full of dreamy & fluttery prints. Florals, dragonflies, and leafy foliage decorate this collection, in bright hues of orange, pink, and turquoise.

Any wanderlust would love our Gypsy Lane Collection. Decorate a bedroom or tree house with a plethora of pillows, such as our easy No-Sew Pillows, and add a stunning quilt backdrop for some wall eye candy.

We hope you love our Gypsy Lane Collection by Jane Farnham as much as we do! We’d love to know your thoughts. You can also check our more sneak peaks on our Facebook & Instagram. More to come tomorrow…

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! Woot woot for it being the end of the week! We’ve made it through our first week of February…it can only get better (weather wise!) from here. Cold fingers and toes crossed!

Time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some awesome Beyond the Backyard projects made by Reece Montgomery. We were tagged on Instagram by Reece, and when we saw her pictures, we had a “oh-my-good-so-cute” moment lol. We absolutely adore the projects that Reece decided to create with our floral and leaf, Spring-inspired collection. She also featured these projects on her blog, Happy Okapi, which you can check out here. In addition to sharing her projects on her blog, she is Canadian-based (like us!!) and shares upcoming fabric collections & sales!

She used Swoon Sewing Patterns’ Dorothy Day Tripper pattern to create a stunning Beyond the Backyard bag – the pattern that actually features our Design Studio Collection as its front image! She also made some other cool accessories with Beyond the Backyard – a coffee cozie, a couple of key fobs, and an eyeglasses pouch. We love how versatile our collection is, and that it looks so great in each project!!

Thanks so much, Reece, for the tag! You can find more from Reece on her blog and Instagram. And with that, we are ready to rock this weekend! Have a great one, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!
