Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It’s Victoria Day here in Canada, so we’re enjoying the long weekend. The weather has been absolutely pristine….and we have an extra day to enjoy it! :) Oh, have you entered our Chalkboard Fabric & Chalk Markers Giveaway yet? You can enter here! The giveaway ends tomorrow.

To start off our week, we have our Moody Monday! Because we launched our Spring 2014 Collections last week, we are continuing the trend by talking a bit more about each one. Today we are going to share and inspire you with our Spectrum Collection by Camelot Design Studio. When we think of a perfectly crisp Summer day complete with a pretty frock, a bike ride to the farmer’s market, and some freshly squeezed lemonade…that is what Spectrum exudes to us! The citrus-inspired hues of tangerine, lemon, lavender, and mint green makes us crave a cool, summer drink! Spectrum is bright, vibrant, and happy…and you can’t help but feel that way too when creating a project or wearing a piece using this collection.

With Spring officially here, we are bringing out our favorite Summer dresses and playsuits! We are so excited not having to bundle up into a thick scarf and down coat anymore. One collection that reminds us of Spectrum is Nina Ricci’s Spring 2014 RTW collection. Complete with citrus-infused colors (yellows, oranges, and grapefruit) and playful silhouettes, we absolutely adore this one.

Ricci’s collection is a mixture of texture and strong colors; exquisite ruffle details, delicate eyelet, pretty tweed, and playful print combinations make this collection reminiscent of a summer in the Hamptons! We especially love this outfit, as well as this one, and this one. You can see the full collection here! Be sure to check out all the designs of our Spectrum Collection, and let us know your favorites! We hope we have inspired you today :)

Happy Sewing!

We’ve got one more Spring 2014 collection to share with you all!! Last, but definitely not least, we are sharing our Singin’ The Blues Collection by Jackie McFee for Camelot Fabrics.

Jackie McFee’s Singin’ The Blues is ornate and vibrant collections of, as the name suggests, blue tones! The beautiful mix of cobalt blue, topaz, and mint colors makes this collection very light, breezy, and ocean-inspired. This collection reminds us a beach vacation somewhere near the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece – the rustic architecture, the clear waters, the rich culture, and the delicious food! Wouldn’t that be an exquisite vacation? Singin’ The Blues is decorated with elegant designs of medallions, ogees, hexagons, and lattices all in wonderful blue hues. So, so pretty! We can imagine a Singin’ The Blues summer frock, a room with a Mediterranean theme complete with flowing curtains, and a tote bag to carry all your beach treasures.

This stunning quilt design is our Tumbling Jewels Quilt by The Cloth Parcel. You can find the free pattern for it on our website here!

We really hope you enjoy our Singin’ The Blues by Jackie McFee collection! You can check out the free projects with this collection here, here, here, here, here, and here.

We really hope you have had as much fun perusing our newest Spring 2014 Collections as we have enjoyed launching them. We would love to know which collection is your favorite, and if any has inspired any project ideas! :)

It’s time for another Spring 2014 collection launch!! The next Spring collection we are sharing with you is…Folklore by Heather Rosas!

Heather Rosas’ Folklore is the epitome of festive happiness with its eclectic color palette of poppy red and bright turquoise. The colors together create a unique combination that is both modern and folk-inspire, with the leaves, floral blooms, and bird prints. With a Scandinavian influence, this collection is vivacious and charismatic, reminding us of festival season and our love for the outdoors. This collection reminds us that we need to start planning our Summer garden party! We can imagine a beautiful Farmer’s Market tote (imagine picking up fresh produce & cut flowers with this collection?), a cute summer frock, or some cloth napkins for your Summer gatherings!

This stunner is our Framed Quilt by Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. You can find the free pattern for this quilt here!

Be sure to check out the rest of Folklore by Heather Rosas here! As well, you can find free patterns for project ideas here, here, here, here, here, and here. There’s one last day of our Spring 2014 Collection Launch Week, and two more collections to share. See you tomorrow, fabric enthusiasts! :)

It’s Day FOUR of our Spring 2014 Collections Launch Week, and we are sharing two more beautiful collections with you all! The first one we are sharing with is Cove by Camelot Design Studio.

Cove reminds of a cool, summer breeze by the ocean or lake. The colours of light blue, sand, and taupe are subdued and soft, making the palette very pretty and ethereal. You know that peaceful feeling you get when you are by the ocean, with just the perfect amount of breeze, breathing in the fresh, salty air? That’s what Cove reminds us of. We could take a calm, relaxing vacation…or create some lovely projects – decorated in fun hexagons, fretworks, and ikats – with Cove. We can imagine a delicate shrug, some pillows for a beach-themed room, or a calming quilt for the bedroom. So many possibilities!

This incredible quilt here is Flying High by Swirly Girls Design – you can find the free pattern for it here!

We really hope you enjoy our Cove collection! You can check out the full collection and all of its prettiness here. As well, be sure to check out all our stunning free projects with Cove here, here, here, here, here, and here. One more collection to share today, so stay tuned!

It’s time for another launch from our Spring 2014 Collections! We have got another delicious, vibrant collection for you with Spectrum by Camelot Design Studio!! Infused with citrus-inspired colors of bright yellows, oranges, purples, and greens, Spectrum will definitely quench your thirst for all things sweet and summery. A mixture of ikat, chevron, tessellation, and fretwork patterns…this pattern is fun and vivacious, and makes us happy. Spectrum brings us back to the nostalgia of younger years, wearing pretty summer dresses & drinking sour lemonade…actually, we still love those things today ;)

We can imagine lots of pretty summer frocks in citrus-infused prints and colors with Spectrum, as well as a tote for the Farmer’s Market! We also love bright home décor, so a couple of chevron pillows in this collection would make any space delightful! Or how about a quilt, such as our Tumbling Jewels Quilt by The Cloth Parcel – super modern and pretty! You can find the free pattern for this quilt here.

We hope our Spectrum Collection has brightened your day!! You can check out the free tutorials using Spectrum on our website here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. We really hope that you have been enjoying our Spring 2014 collections…there’s more to come too :)
