Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. It’s almost the weekend!! Three days into the new year, and we are feeling great. So ecstatic and happy for all the amazing things to come in the new year. What is everyone’s plans for the upcoming weekend? It’s the first weekend after the holidays, so we think a sit-down by the fire with a good book sounds just about right.

Today is Fan Friday on the blog, and we’ve got another great person to share. Coral, quilter and crafter (we adore her already!), shared with us her “Boldly Go” pillows with us using our Star Trek fabric and we absolutely love them! After Coral’s sister-in-law saw an advertisement of Star Trek fabric at a local quilt shop in Australia, Coral thought it would make a great project idea. She bought the fabric, used Design Sponge’s Pillow Tutorial, and thus two Trek-worthy pillows were created!

She designed one with our Blue Space fabric, and one with our Characters fabric. Coral and her mother-in-law bonded over their mutual love for Star Trek (both big Trekkies…though her mother-in-law prefers the newer series to the original), and will be gifting them to her for her birthday in January! Check out the pillows below:

Thank you so much Coral for sharing your amazing projects with us, and for allowing us to share them! We are so happy that, as a true Trekkie, you adore our Star Trek fabric! You can check out Coral on Twitter. Thank you so much for reading today’s Fan Friday. Happy Weekend everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day, we’re more than half-way through the work week. Today is National Cookie Day (yummers!)…so be sure to have a cookie (or dozen…) on us! “Sometimes seeing is believing. And sometimes the most real things in the world are those things we cannot see” – The Train Conductor, The Polar Express.

Time for our daily, holiday question! Today’s question is: What is your favorite holiday movie? :) I would have to say mine would be Miracle on 34th Street…such a classic and it’s always on the top of my Christmas movie “to watch” list. Here are our design studio team’s favorites:

Valeria: Love Actually

Andra: Meet Me in St. Louis 

Juan: Joyeux Noël

Marion: The Grinch (The Original Version)

Shannen: Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer (1964 Version)

Today we are announcing the winner of our Star Trek fabric giveaway! A big thank you to everyone for participating and for sharing our giveaway.

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We are super excited that it’s just about the weekend. We hope everyone has had a fantastic week. We can’t believe that December is just about here, though our weather isn’t denying us of the winter weather (we’ve been hitting below 0°C and have gotten snow already!). You know what they say: if you can’t beat ’em, then join ’em – here’s to the upcoming months of skating, skiing, and tobogganing! :)

Today is another appropriate blog post with the American Thanksgiving being amongst us with our Fan Fridays! Our Fan Fridays are dedicated to all our loyal supporters who share their beloved projects with us using our fabric designs. We ADORE seeing all the crafty projects! :)

Today we are sharing with you someone who equally loves all things “geek”, Ellie from Vampire Bunnies. We also have a current Star Trek fabric giveaway happening right now too! You could win 6 yards of some pretty incredible Star Trek fabric…click here to enter!

Aside from her absolutely incredible name, Ellie adores both a vintage-esque style and the geekery world, and combines her two loves in her store. She designs and creates sweetheart dresses and accessories using fun, colorful prints…including many of our designs such as Star Trek, Girl Power (DC Girl Comics), Marvel, and Star Wars. Check out some of our favorites:

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! With the weekend just around the corner, we hope you all have had a terrific and productive week thus far! Today we bring to you our weekly Thankful Thursday post and this week we are taking the time to thank the Glimpse Reviews blog.

The Glimpse Reviews blog is run by two lovely ladies, Andrea and Julie, from the Canadian Prairies. Their blog focuses on local, Canadian-based stores and businesses – something we definitely support and appreciate being Canadian-born! Both being mommies, their blog posts focus on kid-friendly, DIY, and natural products (and everything in-between!) that are all Canadian-based. As well, they host a multitude of different giveaways to their readers (and who doesn’t love giveaways, right?). We definitely think you will love all their informative postings and recommend you take a little glimpse at their blog (see what we did there? ;))!

The Glimpse ladies chose their favorite fabric designs from us, and created some very special projects that they shared on their blog! Julie chose our Stitched Garden Collection and she sewed a darling, ruffled skirt for her little daughter. The Stitched Garden designs are girly and innocent, and made the perfect little twirl skirt.

Oh how adorable!!

Andrea decided to go in the opposite direction of the gender spectrum, and chose our beloved Star Trek Collection to make something for her little boy. She sewed a backseat car organizer for him, so now he can easily store away all his toys from his three sisters. Such a functional and useful project, and it looks fantastic with our Star Trek fabric! Be sure to read the Glimpse review blog post on Camelot Fabrics here.

Thank you so much to the Glimpse girls for the wonderful blog post and projects with our fabric! We are so thrilled that you love our designs. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Thankful Thursday post!

PS: Have you seen yesterday’s Winsday? You could win our Birds of a Feather FQ Bundle by telling us what you would create with the fabric. Comment and enter on the blog post here. Good luck! We will be announcing the winner on next week’s Winsday post.

Happy Sewing!
