Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a marvelous day! It’s the last day to enter our Make a Wish Giveaway, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing our Play Date Quilt by Tamarinis tutorial with you. Play Date is a fun, lap-sized quilt that features a mix of windmills to create a unique pattern. This playful quilt is perfect for a newborn or little one to snuggle up with. Originally inspired by our Take Flight collection, Play Date also looks great with our With Love Collection – the whimsical floral and happy heart prints are perfect in this quilt design!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. The weather is absolutely gorgeous here this week, and we are loving it!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Quilt Bars quilt by Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis. Quilt Bars is a modern and clean quilt design of layered rectangles to create a “multiplying” illusion of symmetrical space. It’s a great pattern for featuring a multitude of different fabric designs, because of the separating blocks. We chose to feature our Disney Princess collection with this quilt, and adore how the pink hues blend together. This would be such a sweet quilt for a little princess-in-training, tucked in and ready to dream about fairytales!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Today is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day… we’ll gladly have ice cream of ANY flavor, any day. If we could, of course haha ;)

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic quilting read, the McCall’s Quick Quilts magazine. McCall’s Quick Quilts is the McCall’s magazine dedicated to the beginner quilter, those who have just found an interest in quilting and aren’t quite sure where to begin or those who are looking for some easier-leveled quilt patterns. As the name suggests, this magazine is all about modern quilting, and focuses on patterns. Each issue includes a good number of quilt patterns to choose from, so you may have some future WIPs coming up ;) “Make fresh, fun, fabulous quilts” is this issue’s motto, and we couldn’t have summed it up better ourselves.

In the latest issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts, Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis (also one of our amazing pattern designers!), designed a quilt pattern for them called Morning Stroll. Morning Stroll focuses on a lesson on quick and easy curves, using templates to create pieced wedges. The quilt pattern features our Folklore Collection by Heather Rosas, with the pretty red and blue feminine prints creating such a stunning bed quilt.

Thank you Tammy for choosing our Folklore collection, and for McCall’s Quick Quilts for featuring the wonderful quilt pattern. You can find the Morning Stroll pattern in their latest issue, so be sure to check it out!! Have a fantastic rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone’s Thursday has been going well so far; the weekend is just about here! Be sure to check out our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Facebook Giveaway HERE to enter a chance to win a Penelope FQ Bundle and coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spools Case!!

We’ve got our Thankful Thursday for you all!! Today we are featuring one of our incredible quilt designers, Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis! Tammy has been quilting since 1991, and has a continued love and passion for fabrics & sewing. She loves to work with all sorts of fabrics, but she admits that her favorites include batiks, bold prints, and chicken prints. Tammy is the owner of Tamarinis, a quilt pattern company dedicated to unique and fantastic quilt designs. Tammy has a wonderful mix of traditional and more modern quilt designs, all of which are aesthetically beautiful and influenced by her art & literature background. We had the awesome opportunity of collaborating with Tammy on a couple of quilt designs, and even had some sewn up for Spring Quilt Market!

One of the exclusive quilt patterns Tammy designed for us is Quilt Bars – a clean and bordered quilt design that works well with a multitude of fabric designs. We love how the design draws the eyes towards the middle, but isn’t busy because of the quilt’s simplicity. We had Quilt Bars done with our Iconic Collection for Quilt Market, and it looked absolutely incredible in our Iconic room! Soso stunning!!

The second quilt design that Tammy created for us is Play Date – a really fun, baby-sized quilt with adorable pinwheel details! We had the quilt sewn up with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis Collection, and it was perfect for our Take Flight boy’s room set-up at Quilt Market. We love how the blues, reds, and creams in this collection work perfectly – and the pinwheels are even reminiscent of propellers! What we were in awe by was the cloud embroidery that Tammy did on this quilt; so detail-oriented and absolutely beautiful!!

We wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Tammy of Tamarinis for creating two absolutely incredible quilt designs for us. All of Tammy’s quilt designs are clear and concise, and really wonderful to work with and understand. We heard so many positive comments on these two quilts at Quilt Market!! We are so incredibly thankful for your partnership, Tammy, and cannot wait for some future collaborations!! Stay tuned for some more beautiful things from Tamarinis, exclusively for Camelot Fabrics, coming soon. You can check out Tammy’s website, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest for more. Have a lovely day! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. It’s rainy and dreary here today, but you know what they say…April Showers bring May Flowers! But for now, to brighten our day we still have our Bright Now Giveaway going on! Today is the last day to enter, so if you haven’t yet – be sure to here!

Today we are bringing to you another stunning quilt tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day! The quilt design we are sharing with you is Quilt Bars by Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis – a simplistic, yet fresh and versatile quilt that works with a multitude of different fabric designs.

The clean cut lines of this quilt design by Tammy give a very modern and geometrically pleasing look, perfect to showcase coordinating fabric colors and patterns. For this tutorial, we have used our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection and the mint & grey patterns compliment each other perfectly in this quilt!

This would be a great quilt to gift, for both genders and any age! We can imagine this quilt with some soft pastels for a “baby’s first quilt” or this quilt in dark navy hues for a boy quilt. So many possibilities! You can get the PDF version of this tutorial on our website, in the our Free Projects Program section, but today we are going to share the tutorial with you on the blog. Be sure to also check out Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis, as well as her Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Etsy!
