Welcome!

Hi again!

This is the second part to our Teeny Tiny Play Set Tutorial! If you haven’t seen Part 1, click HERE to see the full tutorial for the Tunic Dress. This tunic and bloomers set make the perfect pair for a little gal who wants to be comfortable and stylish! The colorful, bright prints of Our Petite Plume Collection are fresh, happy, and oh-so perfect for this little tunic and bloomers set. You can also mix-and-match the top and bottom with other items, but together they are just too cute!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Frolicking Forest Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet.

It’s time for our weekly How To’s Day!! Today we are sharing another one of our fantastic project collaborations with you. Jennifer Hagedorn from Tie Dye Diva Patterns created the most adorable Tunic Dress and Bloomers Play Set for us, for our Free Projects Program, and we are launching the pattern for you today on the blog. Our Tunic and Bloomers Play Set is perfect for your little girl to play around in and be comfortable, while being absolutely adorable and girly at the same time. We absolutely love the bow and ruffle details on the tunic…and pockets? Yes, please! The bloomers are just as sweet, with the added ruching and bows – oh so cute!! We chose our Petite Plume Collection because it reminds us of Spring and Summer – we can imagine a little girl playing at the park in this play set, but then also strutting her stuff at a garden party or BBQ.

Because this tutorial includes two pieces, we thought it would be easier to split it into two posts. We are going to share the Tunic Dress Tutorial in this post, and the Bloomers Tutorial should be following suite. We are so thankful that we got the chance to work with the incredibly talented Jen from Tie Dye Diva – thank you SO much for creating the sweetest of play sets for our projects. Be sure to check out all of Jen’s other patterns.

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day – we are having a gloomy thunderstorm here, unfortunately, but have our pretty fabric collections to brighten our day in the office. Be sure to check out our latest How To’s Day on the blog; we shared our adorable Endearing Elephants Tutorial by Sweetbriar Sister for Camelot Fabrics that are sure to warm your hearts :)

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday. Today we are featuring one of our incredibly talented and wonderful pattern designers, Anne Sullivan of Play Crafts. Play Crafts is a one-stop destination for crafters and quilters of all skill-levels, a place where sewing enthusiasts can find the necessary tools dedicated to crafters. The goal of Play Crafts is to inspire everyone’s creativity and inner (and not-so-inner) artist! Play Craft provides crafters with fun patterns and tutorials that are easy-to-follow and beautiful, as well as a wonderful “Quilt Design a Day” (QDAD) group that allows quilters to showcase their latest quilt designs/creations influenced by different color combinations. Such a fantastic way for quilters to let their imaginations run wild.

Play Crafts is run by some very crafty people too: Anne Sullivan, Gillian Smith, and Jane Pinckard. Anne Sullivan, the Creative Director, is a creative, quilter, pattern designer, artist, and has a PhD in computer science. We had the privilege of partnering with Anne, who created some very modern and beautiful quilt designs for us. We absolutely love Anne’s clean, yet playful design style and are so thrilled with the patterns she created for our Free Projects Program. The Farm Stand Quilt is a pretty and simplistic design that showcases a fabric collection perfectly in its vertical cascade. We love how versatile this design is; we can create an ombre effect or interchange patterns of similar color palettes to create a fun look! We used Farm Stand to showcase our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham for Camelot Fabrics Collection, and we absolutely love it!

You can download the free PDF for the Fruit Stand Quilt on our website. Be sure to check out Play Crafts for lots more – on their website, Twitter, Facebook, flickr, and Instagram. They have so much creative and innovative content, that you are sure to get inspired!! Thank you Play Craft and Anne for an amazing quilt pattern. There’s more to come as well, so stay tuned. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone’s Thursday has been going well so far; the weekend is just about here! Be sure to check out our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Facebook Giveaway HERE to enter a chance to win a Penelope FQ Bundle and coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spools Case!!

We’ve got our Thankful Thursday for you all!! Today we are featuring one of our incredible quilt designers, Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis! Tammy has been quilting since 1991, and has a continued love and passion for fabrics & sewing. She loves to work with all sorts of fabrics, but she admits that her favorites include batiks, bold prints, and chicken prints. Tammy is the owner of Tamarinis, a quilt pattern company dedicated to unique and fantastic quilt designs. Tammy has a wonderful mix of traditional and more modern quilt designs, all of which are aesthetically beautiful and influenced by her art & literature background. We had the awesome opportunity of collaborating with Tammy on a couple of quilt designs, and even had some sewn up for Spring Quilt Market!

One of the exclusive quilt patterns Tammy designed for us is Quilt Bars – a clean and bordered quilt design that works well with a multitude of fabric designs. We love how the design draws the eyes towards the middle, but isn’t busy because of the quilt’s simplicity. We had Quilt Bars done with our Iconic Collection for Quilt Market, and it looked absolutely incredible in our Iconic room! Soso stunning!!

The second quilt design that Tammy created for us is Play Date – a really fun, baby-sized quilt with adorable pinwheel details! We had the quilt sewn up with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis Collection, and it was perfect for our Take Flight boy’s room set-up at Quilt Market. We love how the blues, reds, and creams in this collection work perfectly – and the pinwheels are even reminiscent of propellers! What we were in awe by was the cloud embroidery that Tammy did on this quilt; so detail-oriented and absolutely beautiful!!

We wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Tammy of Tamarinis for creating two absolutely incredible quilt designs for us. All of Tammy’s quilt designs are clear and concise, and really wonderful to work with and understand. We heard so many positive comments on these two quilts at Quilt Market!! We are so incredibly thankful for your partnership, Tammy, and cannot wait for some future collaborations!! Stay tuned for some more beautiful things from Tamarinis, exclusively for Camelot Fabrics, coming soon. You can check out Tammy’s website, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest for more. Have a lovely day! :)

Happy Sewing!
