Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a lovely day. Today is Shark Awareness Day! Cool shark fact of the day? Sharks’ ears are located inside of their heads, and can hear up to 3000 feet away!! Wow. They’ve definitely got supreme hearing skills!

On to our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our High Tide Pillow by Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter. The High Tide pillow is a fun design, comprised of different sized triangles and trapezoids. Together they create an awesome, scrappy and whimsy feel. This larger, 20″ x 20″ sized pillow is perfect as an accent pillow for a serene living room space, or to jazz up some plain outdoor wicker chairs. We chose to feature this pillow with our London Fog collection, and had fun mixing the different teal & grey prints together. The finished pillow is fun, but would still fit perfectly into a contemporary space.

Hi everyone,

Happy Fri-YAY!! So excited for the weekend!!! And do you know what’s even more exciting?! Today is National Doughnut Day!! Oh yes, that is right. We donut mess around ;) Hahaha!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a gorgeous bag made by Becky Proffitt Wright, featuring our London Fog Collection. London Fog is our moody and cool grey/blue collection with a pinch of yellow. This collection reminds us of those temperate, cloudy days better spent indoors with a hot mug of earl grey tea, curled up in bed with a good book. And, if we’re feeling snazzy, maybe a donut too haha. We’d love to be whisked away to London to see the London Eye and Big Ben, but for now, London Fog satisfies that craving.

Becky Proffit Wright made a bag for her friend, using a pattern from Noodle Head Patterns. The lovely Super Tote Bag featured two thick straps for easy travel, an outer pocket, pinched sides, and lots of interior space for your goodies. Becky chose to feature our bold London Fog prints, and we think it looks SOOO beautiful!! We are in love with the mix of blue and grey prints, to create such a fun and stylish tote.

Thank you for the fabric love, Becky! We hope that your friend loves her new London Fog bag, because we are obsessed! If you’d like to make your own Super Tote, you can find the pattern here. And with that, donut forget to have a fantastic weekend (yup, we had to ;))!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are doing wonderfully today. It’s been absolutely beautiful outside today – a high of 6 °C (oh my!). Here’s hoping for a continuous uphill in temperature!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our modern Slanted Wrap Wallet by Marion of Made by Marion. Our Slanted Wrap Wallet is a stunner, and features lovely binding details so you can choose different fabrics for each block. Our wrap wallet includes an attached loop, so it would also make for a great clutch, especially for a girl’s night out. Carry your essentials – cards, keys, phone, and lipgloss – and you are good to dance the night away! We chose to feature our Slanted Wrap Wallet in our London Fog Collection, and think it looks super sleek and fun!!

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 everyone is having a brilliant day. It’s National Cookie Day – and all we can say to that is…where are the cookies?! Haha! Bring on the oatmeal, chocolate chip and macadamia nuts cookies pleaseee. YUM!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! This week we are featuring one of our fantastic project designers…Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter! Together Stephanie and Michelle, both fabric and quilting enthusiasts & mums, own and operate Late Night Quilter – a professional longarm quilting and pattern design company, and accompanying blog! The Late Night Quilter blog is a wonderful quilting haven that is dedicated to quilting projects and tutorials, all things modern & pretty, and longarm quilting services. They are focused on sharing their quilting tips and tricks, their latest quilting creations, and inspiring others with their love for fabric.

We had the lovely opportunity of working with Stephanie on a couple of quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. Stephanie created three modern, whimsical quilt designs for us and we adore them all! They all embrace the esthetic that is Camelot Fabrics and showcases our fun fabric collections wonderfully. The first is a beautiful quilted pillow pattern called High Tide – a pillow design of diagonal pieces that create interesting triangle and trapezoid shapes. It’s a great pillow for showing a multitude of patterns, such as our London Fog Collection, in a cool way.

The second pattern is a stunning quilt design called Summer on the Sound, a pattern of pretty starbursts. We adore how it looks with our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection, focusing on the beautiful pinks and greens while keeping the rest neutral. Saybrook Island is another quilt pillow that creates a gorgeous, symmetrical  “leaf like” pattern – we think it looks perfect with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection! [CLICK TO SEE MORE]
