Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday everyone! We hope everyone is feeling fantastic! We are hosting another awesome Winsday this week, we are giving away our Itty Bitty FQB and two coordinating Aurifil spools!! Such a great prize pack, so if you’d like to enter the giveaway be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page.

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a wonderful and delectable craft magazine, Craft Ideas! We are such huge fans of Craft Ideas Magazine, not just for their incredible content, but also the people are the sweetest. We want to take a moment to thank Annie Niemic for being such a lovely person to work with and get to know! We have featured Craft Ideas on the blog previously, which you can check out here, but there can never be too much praise for this magazine. We love this magazine for its creative crafts, from beading to sewing to crocheting and everything else in between!

Yes, it’s still Summer but it’s never too early to start thinking about Fall and Winter decor ideas (am I right? haha!). We absolutely adore Craft Ideas’ Autumn-inspired magazine, which is giving us so many fabulous ideas for upcoming crafts for the fall season. It’s so lovely to flip through the vibrant pages and see all the warm autumn hues! There’s even a Halloween section (we are big fans of Halloween in the Camelot Design Studio…dressing up = the best thing ever!), and are excited to make the mini dracula ornaments – too cute!! If you continue to flip through the magazine, you’ll find two of our projects – our Herringbone Quilt by Christa Quilts (p.72) and our Roonie the Raccoon Pillow (p.68)!

Thank you so much Craft Ideas for featuring our projects!! They look absolutely amazing and we are so excited to see them in print. Be sure to check out Craft Ideas on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest for lots more, as well as their website for more craft inspiration! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday everyone! We hope you are having a lovely day. We have been getting milder weather here lately, and we’ve even seen a bit of green…but alas, we’re heading towards another snow storm here. It seems like Winter just does not want to end yet. We are just longing for Spring!!

To put us in a better mood, we are excited to announce our Roonie the Raccoon Kit Giveaway winner! For last week’s giveaway, we wanted to know what everyone’s favorite solid plush fleece from our basics collection was your favorite. We got an array of color favorites!! We are so thrilled that you all enjoyed our solid plush fleece colors; all of your comments were super sweet. The winner of our Roonie the Raccoon Kit giveaway will be receiving black, stone, and white plush fleece from us to make their very own soft friend.

And now, it’s time to announce the winner!! The winner of our Roonie the Raccoon Kit is…

Congratulations, Robin Johnson!! We are super excited for you, and we hope you enjoy our tutorial and making your very own Roonie the Raccoon!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Today is How To’s Day on the blog, and we’ve got one of the most adorable DIY tutorials to share with you.

Today’s tutorial is on our DIY Raccoon Softie Pillow. He’s soft, he’s squishy, and he’s super sweet. He is the perfect cuddling friend for all your little (and big!) loved ones! A person can never have too many plush toys or pillows, and this little guy is the perfect mix of both and would make anyone happy. Whether as a newborn baby’s first stuffie, a cuddler for a little one, or a pillow friend for anyone…no one will be able to resist his absolutely charming and friendly face!

How absolutely cute is this little fellow? We would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Camelot Fabrics Design Team Studio…Roonie the Raccoon! He would definitely love some new friends from all around the world though. To see how you can make your very own raccoon softie, click more to see the full tutorial and template! :)
