In our Moody Monday we spoke of the new Star Trek collection that is launching soon and showed the panel we made in trapunto. A few people asked me what I meant by trapunto so I thought I should explained this technique on our How To Tuesday!
more.More from Camelot Fabrics’ Fall 2014 Collections Launch! We love that all our fellow Trekkies adore our Star Trek collections, but we have been getting lots of requests for a The Next Generation collection. Well, you asked…and we listened! This one is for all our fellow TNG enthusiasts. Our Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection brings you everything you adore most – the classic red/yellow/blue colorway, your favorite and most loved characters, and the coveted logo. We really wanted to make our Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection special and one that our fellow TNG enthusiasts would love. We hope we have made you proud. This collection would make an awesome tote bag or neck-tie for you, or the TNG fan in your life.
Why not add your love for TNG to your room with our Elevation Pillow by Kristy Daum? We think it looks super awesome, and supports your Star Trek love in a very cool way.
We hope you enjoy our Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection – we’d love to know what all our fellow Star Trek enthusiasts think. What would you create with this collection? We’d love to know! :)

more.Hi everyone!
Happy Monday everyone! How was everyone’s weekend? :) Can’t believe it’s already the last couple of days of April – We are super excited to be heading closer to warmer weather!! It’s still been pretty cool and rainy here, so we are hoping the “April showers brings May flowers” holds true this year (and therefore, we should we expecting LOTS of flowers blooming haha!).
It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Star Trek Universe collection’s moodboard – this one is for all you trekkies! Our Star Trek Universe collection is a 13 SKU collection, immersed in the iconic blue, red, and yellow colors that vividly represent Star Trek. Divided up by color, just as in Star Trek, the different skus represent the members correlated with each ‘team’. As well, accompanying shields and space silhouettes designs coordinate with the colors too! We have got all your favorite characters from the Star Trek original series; trekkie fans – we’ve got you covered. So, are you team blue…team red…or team yellow? :)
Recently, there’s been a couple of fantastic, memorable interviews with legendary Star Trek cast members, including William Shatner and Patrick Stewart. Back in February, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen sat down for one of the most incredible interviews ever with Buzzfeed Brews. During their interview to publicize their Broadways No Man’s Land and Waiting for Godot, they managed to play The Newlywed Game together…and honestly, the whole interview is golden. I’m sure all the fellow trekkies have seen it already, but if not – go watch it right now! You definitely will not be disappointed.
Another recent interview is that of William Shatner. In the two-part interview, Shatner discusses everything from his later endeavors: Wacky Doodle, Shatner’s World (one night, one man show!), his latest book, and of course all things Star Trek related. The interview is will StarTrek.com, and you can read part one and part two here. Shatner is such a brilliant man, with many words of wisdom, and is an icon. And the fact that he Montreal born, like us, makes all the more awesome! ;)
We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! Stay tuned for some exciting things coming these next few weeks. There’s always something new happening at Camelot Fabrics! Until then…
Happy Sewing!
