Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having a colorful day! It’s bright and sunny here, and we are feeling great! :) It’s the perfect day to wear a flowy, maxi dress such as Burda Style’s Smocked Maxi Dress. We created our own variations of the dress, and shared them on the blog this week. Be sure to check it out HERE! :)

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! This week, we are taking the time to thank one incredible company, Aurifil! Founded in 1983, Aurifil is an Italian-based company that specializes in creating the utmost quality of high-quality cotton threads. Aurifil’s threads are the leading choice for sewing and quilting enthusiasts for their wide variety in color choices, variety in thread weights, and of course, their fantastic quality. They have a great selection of wool, cotton, and invisible threads – threads for all your project needs! As well, Aurifil is modern and fresh, always coming out with new ideas and innovative products and working with the best in the industry. They also work with fabric companies and designers to create thread collections, and are very active on social media & the sewing and quilting blogging community.

We had the absolute pleasure of chatting and meeting Alex Veronelli from Aurifil at this past Spring Quilt Market. It was wonderful getting to meet him in person and, as we had already knew, was such a great person to chat with. We were super excited that they were interested in working with us, and we decided to start things off with a couple of collaborative giveaways. Our first giveaway was our Penelope Collection, along with a coordinating box of Aurifil threads that we handpicked. Our last giveaway was with our Itty Bitty by Andrea Turk Collection, and Aurifil also generously allowed us to give away some more thread goodies!! We also received a box of Aurifil threads for our projects, which we will be using in future How To’s Day posts. We are so thankful for the incredible generosity from Aurifil, we cannot thank Alex and Kim enough. And…we are also very excited for what is to come! ;)

We are so sure that all our fellow sewing enthusiasts are familiar with Aurifil threads, but if not, be sure to check out their website, as well as their Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. You’ll be happily mesmerized by all the stunning & delicious threads!! Thank you, oh so much, Aurifil and we cannot wait for what is to come. Have a fantastic day!! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday!! We hope everyone is doing awesome today. We posted our fun twist on Burda Style’s Smocked Maxi Dress pattern on the blog yesterday. We shared our maxi dress and shorter, hemmed versions with Fruit Stand and Mint to Be – be sure to see the post HERE! :)

It’s time to announce this week’s Winsday winner. Man, oh, man…we had SO much fun going through all of your summer playlist songs! Such a fantastic summer playlist, we had a blast playing them in the Camelot Design Studio! We definitely recommend going to the giveaway image on our Facebook and scrolling through the comments; it’s a great way to find some new (and old) jams. We’ll definitely be referring to our giveaway image for future playlist!

But of course there can only be one Winsday winner. There were just too many amazing song choices, we couldn’t choose ourselves, so we got some help from our friend Mr. Random.org! The winner of our Itty Bitty x Aurifil Spools Giveaway is…

Congratulations, Julie Grier!! We really hope you enjoy crafting and sewing with our Itty Bitty FQB and coordinating Aurifil threads. If you decide to create something, we would absolutely love to see what you make! It’s always fun seeing what creativeness comes from our fabric collections! Thanks to everyone who commented and entered!! We love hearing from you and are always so thankful for all the love and support. As well, a huge thank you to everyone at Aurifil (Alex and Kim – you both ROCK!) for sharing about this week’s giveaway, and for providing us with some yummy threads for you all. We cannot wait to share with you what is to come with Camelot Fabrics and our new friends at Aurifil! :)

Happy Sewing!
