Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope you all had an awesome week!! Today is Friday the 13th…ooh! Is anyone superstitious or have any ‘freaky Friday” stories to share? As for something not so scary, we’re hosting our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page! Be sure to head on over there to enter! :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some incredibly beautiful quilts created by the talented Sharon Challenger, of ShaShaLaRue Quilts. ShaShaLaRue Quilts is Sharon’s online Etsy Shop, a place where she shares her latest quilt creations, all handmade – and made with love. Sharon’s quilt esthetic is modern and colorful, and she shares a multitude of different quilt styles for boys and girls, babies and toddlers. She mentions that quilts can be used for so many things – as playmats, for tummy time, for a picnic at the park, on the beach, for cuddling with on the sofa, or when you need a hug – and we couldn’t agree more. There’s nothing more comforting than snuggling up with a cozy quilt – and some pretty fabric!

Sharon chose our Rise & Shine Collection to create some amazing quilts for her shop. We found her through Instagram, and just had to share! The first is her geometric Triangle Quilt – our yellow, turquoise, and grey designs working perfectly together in the interchanging triangles pattern. Soso pretty and would make for the perfect gift for a mama-to-be!

Sharon also created a quilt designed by Andrea Johnson, from the book “Modern Designs for Classic Quilts”, featuring Rise & Shine. Loving how the quilt still looks fresh and light, perfect for a nursery or little nugget’s room! Her quilts have a modern and crisp look, so they are also perfect for a home that is more contemporary or current in esthetic.

We are so happy that you love our Rise & Shine Collection, Sharon. Thank you for the fabric love, and for sharing them with us on Instagram. Be sure to check out more from Sharon at her Etsy Shop // ShaShaLaRue Quilts, on Facebook, and on Instagram. And with that…another week has come and gone! Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!! Did anyone work on some fun sewing projects? We would love to know!!

It’s time for some daily inspiration with this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Rise & Shine by Camelot Design Studio collection. Rise & Shine is a gorgeous collection of lattice, diamond, and trellis, and tweed geometrics. This collection is just bursting with wonderful turquoise, grey, and yellow hues that make you feel calm and happy. Our Rise & Shine designs would make for a beautiful mod-styled dress or circle skirt. As well, we adore the idea of fresh pops of turquoise and yellow in a neutral room, such as a Rise & Shine quilt or pillow.

Erdem’s Pre-Fall 2015 Collection is getting us super excited for fall fashion! The warm navy, burgundy, and grey hues are stunning together and make for a very polished look. This collection consisted of lots of lovely floral prints, preppy stripes, and 50s silhouettes. We are in love with this cute dress, that reminds us of the diamonds print from our Rise & Shine Collection. You can find the full collection here.

We hope you have been inspired this week. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. Just to make your day even brighter, we’ve got our weekly Winsday on our Facebook Page. We are giving away some of our adorable Paddington Bear fabric!

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our tutorial for our absolutely gorgeous Venn Placemats. Our Venn Placemats are the perfect mix between clean design aesthetic and keeping your surfaces, well, clean. We know that our mathematicians and designers will especially adore the style of our placemats. Have fun choosing different and unique print combinations! The simplicity and modernity of our Venn Placemats would work in any interior space. And because they are oh-so pretty, you’ll want to leave them as added decor on your dining table.

We offer two sizes of our Venn Placemat in this tutorial – a larger mat with the full Venn diagram look and a smaller mat, that is equally stunning. We chose to style ours with our Rise & Shine Collection, and think the blues, greys, and yellows would work wonderfully in any space.

More from Camelot Fabrics’ Fall 2014 Collections Launch! Amidst the gloomy and darker days of autumn, it’s still nice to have little sparks of sunshine and happiness. If not weather-wise, we’ll take fabric as a close second. Our Rise & Shine by Camelot Design Studio does just that for us; it’s happy and spirited in both prints and color palette, and is sure to brighten up any project. Rise & Shine is a exuberant collection of bright yellow, teal, and grey complete in modern geometric patterns. Spirited with a retro twist, Rise & Shine would make for a pretty 50’s-inspired circle skirt or men’s neck tie for an upcoming party or wedding. We also love the idea of a neutral space, with lots of yellow & teal pillows to liven the atmosphere.

We are loving our Tumbling Jewels Quilt by The Cloth Parcel with our Rise & Shine Collection. The yellow and teal colorway makes for a very fun and happy quilt design, a perfect gift for a graduation or bedspread. So, so pretty!!

We hope you adore our Rise & Shine Collection, and that it added a bit of brightness to your day. We’d love to know what you think, and what you would create with this collection. Stay tuned for more collections!
