Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. Today is National Mulled Cider Day…yum! And just perfect for the cooler weather, we definitely could use a mug of mulled cider this morning.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been busy expanding our Free Projects Program on our website, and have been getting such amazing responses from all of you. We thought we would share our newest additions, to our website, on the blog. Today we are featuring our Twist on Tradition Quilt by Larene Smith of The Quilted Button. This is a beautiful, whimsical, and scrappy-like quilt design that would work wonderfully for a baby’s nursery or as an accent quilt on a sofa. The wispy design makes this quilt look very intricate and exquisite, and we think it would be remarkable as wall decor. As well, it looks just fabulous with our Pastel Me More collection, making this quilt happy and popping.

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having an excellent day! We are super excited for Mother’s Day weekend: Moms (and future moms!), what would be your ideal day of relaxation? :) We would love to know!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of wonderfully kind and talented quilt designers, Larene Smith of The Quilted Button! Larene began her for sewing at a very young age – when her mum warned her not to touch her sewing machine, as a child, Larene only became even more intrigued. As she got older, she asked her mum to teach her to make a quilt and learnt to a 9 patch quilt. From there, Larene’s love for sewing, quilting, and fabric only grew!

But it was her connection with the Material Possessions Quilt Shop that really got her started. They saw the creative spark in Larene – her designs were unique and she had a lot of different techniques, and she should be teaching a class! She met with Wendy, and started off with her first teaching class. From there, Larene has continued her passion for quilting, creating so many beautiful quilt patterns, and of course teaching!

We had the privilege of partnering with Larene, who has created some really lovely quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. All of her patterns are easy to follow and concise, and it has been an absolutely pleasure working with Larene thus far. She has been very guiding and sweet to us, as we are still learning new things everyday about the quilting and pattern world! Some of Larene’s quilt patterns include Border Blast, Diamond Sparkle, and Whimsical…and there are more to come!

Aren’t these quilt designs just stunning? We are so happy to have found Larene and are so ecstatic for what’s to come!! And yes, there may possibly be a physical quilt coming very soon ;) Stay tuned! Thank you so much for the wonderful partnership thus far, Larene, we adore working with you!  You can check out Larene’s website for more goodies. Have a good one everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a great day so far. Today is the last day to enter our Chalkboard Fabric Giveaway on the blog. Let us know what you would make with our chalkboard fabric for a chance to win. Enter here!

As well, one of our biggest projects as of late has been our Free Projects section on our website and blog! Since the launch of our Camelot Fabrics blog back in September 2013, we have been posting a new free project every week! From adorable baby shoes to DIY chalkboard banners to plush stegosauruses…we’ve crafted a multitude of amazing projects for you all, with free instructions, diagrams, and patterns. One of the greatest things has been the positive feedback and the pictures sent to us of our projects, from you all! So thank you, keep sending them to us! :)

Along with our free projects, we have been partnering with some very talented quilt designers to create one-of-a-kind quilt patterns for our website. Our fabric collections have a fresh and modern twist to them, and all the quilt designs reflect our style perfectly. All the free quilt designs include the instructions, diagrams, and necessary skus in PDF format which you can check out here. We wanted to thank all our wonderful quilt designers for creating some incredible quilt designs for us! You guys rock!! :)

Today we are featuring one of our quilt designs for this week’s How To’s Day. Larene Smith, from The Quilted Button, designed this sweet baby quilt called Diamond Sparkle. You can use any fabric of your choice, but we think this quilt looks especially darling with our Dream a Little Dream Collection by Heather Rosas. Today we thought we’d provide a step-by-step on how to create your very own Diamond Sparkle Quilt – the perfect blanket for all the little ones you know!
