Welcome!

This fall Camelot teamed up with Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts to create The Force Quilt pattern, which Julie sewed for us in our new Star Wars: The Last Jedi collection. We revealed the quilt at Fall Quilt Market in Houston, and we were blown away by Star Wars fans’ positive response!

The Force Quilt is made with the letter block patterns from Alphabet Soup by Jaybird Quilts. Julie offers a  free pdf extension on her website, showing how to make The Force Quilt with the letter blocks from the book.  Be sure to visit our website for the project’s yardage requirements. Fabrics are from The Last Jedi cotton collection, which is in stores right now.

Read on for quilt specs, links, and details on The Force Quilt fabric Giveaway.

This is a very special FAN FRIDAY!

In June, I  went to Vermont with some friends (see previous blog) to visit the Vermont Quilt Festival!  And they have a special category dedicated to kids!  I always love seeing that section as I know how much work it can be to get our kids excited about quilting.  My two eldest boys have already made a quilt that was featured in this section and next year my youngest one wants to participate.  So I always view this section with great interest!

And this year I got a nice surprise!  I got to see a quilt made by a 9 years old boy using Camelot Fabrics Star Wars Glow in the dark fabrics!  He loves Star Wars and picked out the fabrics AND decided where they would go.  He also quilted the piece on a home machine.

Congratulations on a job well done!  We hope you enjoy your quilt for years to come.

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a brilliant day. Be sure to check out our last two posts – both giveaways, and both equally amazing!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a super awesome basket created by Krysta Higgins. Krysta is a craft and sewing enthusiast, and shares her latest finds and creations on her blog and Instagram. She recently made herself a basket – using the Hour Basket Pattern from Hearts and Bees – and chose our Star Wars fabrics as the main attraction. And oh man is it coooooool. It is such a handy basket to have – one can never have too many things to organize with! She currently uses it to store some of her fabric stash. Great idea, Krysta!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Krysta!! We absolutely LOVE seeing your projects with our fabric. You can always tag us on Instagram or email us your photos. You’ll make our day! And with that, have a great weekend!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a wonderful one!!

Time to end this week with our Fan Friday! In honor of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie launch today, we thought it would be perfect to share a Star Wars Quilt created by Ashley Tabatha Quilts. Ashley realized she had a mishmash of pieces of our Star Wars fabric, and decided to do something with them rather than to keep hoarding them. Her idea? A quilt! She chose a geometric, repeat pattern quilt and mix-and-matched the prints. All of the designs are different, but we love how the colors still blend well together – those blues, reds, yellows, and blacks – it truly encompasses everything we adore about Star Wars. Her quilt still needs to be sewn and quilted… but we just couldn’t wait to share it!! Especially on this most anticipated day!

All of the Star Wars fabrics can be found here. And yes, we have Star Wars: The Force Awakens fabric. Be sure to check out your local quilt shops for your favorite design! Have an amazing weekend!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are having a great one. Today is National Cinnamon Raisin Bread Day, and as fall is a week away, it sounds like the perfect afternoon treat to us (fresh out of the oven, with lots of butter of course!).

Last week, we hosted an exclusive Star Wars: The Force Awakens Giveaway on our Facebook Page. We launched our new Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection on Force Friday, and we were so enthused by the incredible response by our fellow Star Wars enthusiasts. SO glad you think our new collection is cool and epic – we agree!

And in anticipation for the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie, we wanted to know which Star Wars character you were looking forward to seeing most. We enjoyed reading all of your comments – as well as seeing all the adorable photos you shared!! Thank YOU for making our week, as always! It was SO difficult choosing ONE (so many great comments!), but our Star Wars: The Force Awakens bundle winner is…

Congratulations, Staci Hill! We are so excited for you, and can’t wait to see what you create! Please send us your mailing address to info@camelotfabrics.com by September 23rd, 2015. And a big thank you to everyone who entered!! Until next Winsday…

Happy Sewing!
