Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. We’re hosting another Winsday this week on our Facebook Page. This week, we are giving away our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection and want to know what makes you shine. Head on over there to enter!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are sharing some pillows that amazing pattern designer, Kristy Daum, sewed up for us! Kristy is the voice and creator behind the blog St. Louis Folk Victorian, where she shares her latest quilting creations and fabric finds. We found her blog, fell in love with her projects and style (a coworker had sent me a link to her Sherlock Quilt), and knew we had to chat! Her Elevation Pillow is available as a free pattern on our website, and is one of our absolute faves because of how much fun you can having, mixing & matching different patterns. The design creates a cool, “graph-like” design, and we like that the background is a solid, so that the middle stands out.

Kristy sewed two versions of her Elevation Pillow for us, one in our London Fog Collection and one in Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Look at how gorgeous they are? Kristy did an incredible job with the quilting too. These pillows would look fantastic tossed together on a day bed or as a big ol’ pile on the floor – comfy and pretty to look at!  You can find the free pattern for Elevation here.

Thank you, Kristy, SO much for everything! You truly are a superstar haha. You’ll definitely be seeing lots more from Kristy coming up soon, so stay tuned!! You can check out more from Kristy on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And with that, have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone!! Happy Canada Day to all our fellow Canadians! We hope you all are having a great day. Our #PetitePlume Pinterest Giveaway ends this Wednesday!! Be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet :)

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! It’s no secret that we love all sorts of sweets and yummy food here at the Camelot Design Studio. Have you seen our What We Love Board? :) We enjoy baking sweet treats, and more importantly, eating them…it’s always a good day when someone brings in something delicious to the office. So inspired by all of our sweet tooths, we decided to make macaron pillows with our fleece…and boy did they turn out exceptionally sweet!!

Our Macaron Pillows are soft, comfy, adorable…and almost good enough to eat! We can imagine a bunch of our macarons, in different pastel colors, decorating a daybed or little girl’s bedroom – oh how cute, right? Because we used our plush fleece, they are perfect for cozying up with, either with a good book or for a little nap. We used our rose, turquoise, and white fleece making our macarons a cascade of pastel confectionary!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! We are happily enjoying the sunshine and warm weather today. The pretty weather is making us daydream of taking a relaxing, tropical vacation to Turks & Caicos or Hawaii! And speaking of dreaming, we have got a DIY project to share with you today that reminds us of just that. Our heads are in the clouds today…

This week’s How To’s Day is our DIY Star and Cloud Shape Pillows tutorial! All of you fellow dreamers and astronomy lovers, this project is perfect for you. Another bonus, it is super easy to make AND is an exceptionally adorable project! Our shape pillows would be a great addition to a sky-themed bedroom (think clouds and stars scattered across a blue comforter!) or as a gift for a future astronaut! We always love to encourage creativity here, so these would be perfect playtime toys for kids – let their imaginations run free – and then a comfy accompaniment for naptime (because all that playing can wear you out, after all!). We adore our shape pillows with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis, a brilliant and bold airplane- and sky-themed collection!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. It’s almost the weekend!! Three days into the new year, and we are feeling great. So ecstatic and happy for all the amazing things to come in the new year. What is everyone’s plans for the upcoming weekend? It’s the first weekend after the holidays, so we think a sit-down by the fire with a good book sounds just about right.

Today is Fan Friday on the blog, and we’ve got another great person to share. Coral, quilter and crafter (we adore her already!), shared with us her “Boldly Go” pillows with us using our Star Trek fabric and we absolutely love them! After Coral’s sister-in-law saw an advertisement of Star Trek fabric at a local quilt shop in Australia, Coral thought it would make a great project idea. She bought the fabric, used Design Sponge’s Pillow Tutorial, and thus two Trek-worthy pillows were created!

She designed one with our Blue Space fabric, and one with our Characters fabric. Coral and her mother-in-law bonded over their mutual love for Star Trek (both big Trekkies…though her mother-in-law prefers the newer series to the original), and will be gifting them to her for her birthday in January! Check out the pillows below:

Thank you so much Coral for sharing your amazing projects with us, and for allowing us to share them! We are so happy that, as a true Trekkie, you adore our Star Trek fabric! You can check out Coral on Twitter. Thank you so much for reading today’s Fan Friday. Happy Weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!
