Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! It’s the second day of the week, but the first day back for us Canadians. It was an absolutely fantastic long weekend, with the weather being absolutely gorgeous – the perfect amount of coolness and sunshine = my kind of weather! As well, Quilt Market was this weekend and it was such a great market!! We hope you enjoyed all the pictures we posted on our Instagram; lots more to come soon! It’s also the last day to enter our Marvy/Uchida x Camelot Fabrics Giveaway – enter HERE if you haven’t yet. Good Luck! :)

We’ve got an absolutely brilliant How To’s Day for you. Today we are sharing our tutorial for our Lattice Table Runner – a gorgeous quilted table runner that will instantly add some sparkle to your dinning or coffee table! We absolutely LOVE switching up and playing around with room décor, because they are a fun way to change up a look quickly, and at a lower cost. We really love sharing our home décor projects with you because, not only are they great for sprucing up a room, but they are so much fun to make. Triple win!

Our Lattice Table Runner is such a beautiful centerpiece to add to any table; it is a statement piece on its own! The intricate latticework on the table runner makes for a very pretty, fun, and modern feel that would look great with any fabric choice. We really love how it looks with our What’s Cookin’ by Allison Cole, as we think it’d be the perfect attention-grabber for a dazzling dinning table! Match it up with some bright and colorful kitchen accessories, and you’ve got yourself a kitchen with a contemporary, but retro vibe. Absolute LOVE! We are in the mood for some ice cream sodas now ;)

Hi everyone!

We have our Thankful Thursday, and today we are featuring one of our wonderful quilt designers…Swirly Girls Design! The creative gal behind Swirly Girls Design is Susan Emory. With Susan’s love for quilting, graphic design background, and artistic knowledge, Swirly Girls Design is a modern, fresh, and beautiful quilt pattern company dedicated to creative designs with clearly written & illustrated instructions. Susan’s patterns are sold worldwide, her quilts have been featured in several well-known magazines, and has hosted many Schoolhouse programs at Quilt Market.

As well, she has provided trunk shows, workshops, and classes for quilt shops and guilds, is a member of the International Association of Creative Arts Professionals, a founding member of Richmond Modern Quilt Guild, and an Aurifil Thread Specialist. And on top of all that, she runs her quilt pattern business seamlessly! What a very busy girl!!

We had the privilege of partnering up with Susan, who created an absolutely stunning quilt design for our Free Projects Program! The quilt she created is called Flying High, a very geometric and modern quilt design – we especially love the ‘flying geese’ element to it! This pattern has worked so wonderfully with all of our collections, such as our NEW Spring 2014 Spectrum Collection (shown below!). You can find the free pattern for Flying High here.

We wanted to take the time to thank Susan for creating such a wonderful quilt design for us. We absolutely adore it, and we had a great time working with you! Be sure to check out Swirly Girls Design on their website for more, as well as their Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Twitter accounts. We hope to work with you again Susan, and are excited for what’s to come! Have a great day everyone – stay tuned for another collection launch today :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. It’s Day TWO of our Spring 2014 Collections Launch. Have you seen the collections we’ve launched so far? Be sure to check out Star Wars III, Ultimate Spider-Man II, and Girl Power II. Lots more prettiness to come! :)

We have our How To’s Day for you!! Today’s tutorial is on a really adorable, fun kid’s tote – Our Tot’s Triangle Tote!! We remember being little girls always wanting to be just like our mommies; wearing her heels, putting on her makeup, dowsing ourselves in too much perfume, and of course, strutting around with her clothes and handbags. Now our kids don’t have to go through mommy’s things (although, they probably still will!) because we can make them their very own tote – kid-sized and friendly, but just as chic!   Our younger selves would feel so pretty and grown-up with our very own bag to match our mum’s, putting all the important things inside – like chapstick, animal crackers, and crayons – of course! ;)

We can even imagine little girls and boys going to the playground with our kid tote – the perfect companion for carrying all their park essentials (bubble, sand toys, and band-aids!). They can keep all of their newfound treasures inside too. And there’s even an interior pocket to keep all their special things safe! :)

We used Our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection for this tutorial; a happy and playful collection inspired by another thing we miss most about our childhoods – going to the park to play with friends, swinging to our heart’s content, and hanging on the monkey bars. So many wonderful memories that make Playground especially nostalgic.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day. We are celebrating Mother’s Day all this week because we love our mums! Today we are going to share with you a wonderful gift idea for that special mom who deserves to feel pampered.

This week’s How To’s day is our elegant Trellis Edged Robe featuring our Iconic Collection. This robe is luxurious and beautiful, complete with stunning trellis detailing on the sleeves and edging, as well as a satin lining. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a cup of coffee or tea, with the daily newspaper or favorite television show, snuggled up in this robe? There is no better way to spend the morning, we think. Our Trellis Edged Robe will make anyone feel pretty and like royalty, as our mums should feel every day!!

This is such a beautiful project, and we are so excited to share it with you! To complete the “day-in” look, you can check out our Pajama Pants tutorial to make your mom her very own Iconic pj set.

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! Great way to the end the week with a pretty day – a lovely change from the wind and rain we’ve been getting lately. There are also two more days until #StarWarsDay and in honor of May the 4th, we are hosting a Glow-in-the-Dark Star Wars fabric giveaway on our Facebook Page – Click here to enter!

To round up another wonderful week, we have our Fan Friday for you all today! Marion Omont used our Fleece Fox Hat & Tail Tutorial to create an absolutely adorable fleece fox hat and tail for her son. Marion’s son had a school carnival to attend and the kids were able to dress up! She remembered seeing our fox hat & tail tutorial on our Pinterest – a project she had wanted to make for a while but never got the chance to. She showed the costume idea to her son, who eagerly approved, and in a couple of hours his fox costume was created! Finishing the look with a cute nose and some whiskers, Marion’s son is one of the most precious foxes we have ever seen!

Marion – you did an absolutely incredible job with the fox hat and tail! Your little gray fox is so cute and we hope he enjoyed his school’s carnival all decked out. Thank you so much for sharing your project with us and for letting us know you enjoyed our tutorial! We are so happy that it came out wonderfully. You can check out the full tutorial here, as well as a free printable on our website.

If you decide to use one of our tutorials or use our fabric for a project, you could be featured in a future Fan Friday post! Please email us at info@camelotfabrics.com – Seeing all of your projects always makes our day!! :) Have a great weekend!

Happy Sewing!
