Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. This week, we are giving away our Neon & On FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page. We want to know what back to school inspired project you would create with this bundle. Let us know for a chance to win HERE! :)

For this week’s Thankful Thursday, we are featuring a blog that we are sure all our fellow sewers and bloggers visit as their go-to crafting manual – Sew Mama Sew! It has been a couple of months, but we are ever so thankful that we wanted to properly thank everyone involved for the incredible feature. Sew Mama Sew is the motherboard of all things craft and sewing-related, from easy-to-follow and creative tutorials, fun and engaging sew-alongs, and the best of giveaways! Their tutorials include stunning dress patterns to quilted projects to tips & tricks for beginners, and everything in between. If you’re looking for it (at least craft-wise), Sew Mama Sew has got it!!

One amazing thing about Sew Mama Sew is the consistent contributors on the blog, featuring fellow bloggers and crafting enthusiasts alike. Sew Mama Sew partnered up with Warp & Weft and Thread Riding Hood to showcase an amazing project (and a giveaway!) with two of our fabric collections. We were so thrilled and over-the-moon to the see our fabric collections used, and featured on some very cool blogs. Made us feel pretty cool ourselves, haha. The fantastic project was sponsored by Warp & Weft, a fabric retailer and fellow Canadian (yay, represent!), so thank you SOSO much for the fabric love.

Sherri of Thread Riding Hood (um, how adorable is her blog name?!) is the creative behind the project. She created a beautiful Fabric Tray, perfect for holding all your project items (thread, thimble, scissors, etc), or for keeping all your essentials in one place before you leave. The pretty patchwork design gives this Fabric Tray a modern and fun feel, which goes fabulously with the bright colors of our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio and Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham collections.

Love it!!! This Fabric Tray tutorial is perfect for any extra fabric scraps (we all know we hoard a bunch of those!) laying around. Your scraps will find a new home and will be made into something really pretty and functional. You can find the full tutorial for this Fabric Tray on Sew Mama Sew’s blog, as well as at Thread Riding Hood.

We know we are a little late, but we want to say an official HUGE THANK YOU to Sew Mama Sew, Warp & Weft, and Thread Riding Hood for choosing our collections to showcase a wonderful project. We were so ecstatic to see our pretty collections, and are so happy you love them too. You can check out our Beyond the Backyard and Petite Plume collections on our website. Please be sure to check out their blogs for lots more creative and beautiful goodness!! Have a great one! :)

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for our What We Love #14 ♥ We really enjoy sharing what we have loved most every week on our Pinterest, and we hope that you have been liking our pins. This week, the Camelot Design Studio went to see the Lion King Broadway at Place des Arts, and it was incredibly beautiful and full of amazing talent. It was definitely one of the greatest musicals we have been to, and it was even more special getting to see it with each other. Watching the musical has inspired us with its brilliant costumes, empowering storyline, and magical adornments. On to some other things that we’ve loved this week… ♥

Shannen: The Lion King Broadway
Valeria: Adorable Hedgehog
Juan: Guitar Case
Marion: Wicker Chair, Linen-White, & a Graphite Wall
Vanessa: Re-purposed Tea Can Vase + Sunflowers

We’d love to know what you have enjoyed most this week!! You can check out our Pinterest for lots more inspiration. Have a fantastic day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day so far. We cannot believe that we are in the last few days of August, but are excited for the long weekend.

For this week’s Thankful Thursday, we are featuring one of newest, favourite sewing magazines: Love Patchwork & Quilting. Love Patchwork & Quilting is a modern quilting magazine based in the UK dedicated to bringing us fresh, inspiring, and bold projects. They’re a relatively new magazine (they are on their 11th edition), but have quickly become number one in the UK – with good reason! They love to showcase new, fresh fabric collections and collaborate with awesome project designers.

As you turn to each page, there’s always something to catches your eye and inspire you. Their pages are filled with beautiful images, helpful tips & tricks, inspiring projects and fabric collections. There’s something for everyone, from quilting projects to smaller project ideas; even those who are intimidated by sewing will feel encouraged. As well, each issue features a free, mini project to follow along to, to make your very own craft. You can’t help but get inspired and happy flipping through an issue of Love Patchwork & Quilting, and their editor Jenny Fox-Proverbs definitely makes that happen!

We were so thrilled when we saw that our Love Letters by Jane Farnham Collection was featured in their latest edition, in their Love Life section, which is dedicated to celebrating the fabric of life. If you flip to page 13, you’ll see a very familiar collection – Love Letters! There’s a fantastic writeup on the collection, and we are so happy that it was chosen as one of their favorites this month. Our Love Letters Collection embodies cherishing your loved ones, and embracing your time with them, so we definitely think it fits perfectly with the theme.

We want to say a big thank you to Jenny and Love Patchwork & Quilting for featuring our Love Letters by Jane Farnham Collection. Love Patchwork & Quilting is a stunning magazine, so we definitely feel honored to be included. We absolutely adore Jane and her beautiful designs, and are so happy to call her one of our own, so it’s so wonderful to see the amazing response.

You can check out more from Love Patchwork & Quilting on their website, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. We can’t wait to see what’s next! Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you’re all having a great day so far. If you didn’t see yesterday’s post, we are giving away our Petite Plume FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page this week. Head on over there to let us know which of our Summer 2014 Collections is your favorite, so a chance to win Petite Plume.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are taking the time to thank one of our wonderful project designers, Jen of Tie Dye Diva! Jen didn’t start off her career path in the sewing patterns world, but has always had a love for crafting and sewing. Jen was working a 12-hour desk job before realizing she wanted to do something of her true passion. In 2007, she started to create downloadable sewing patterns that were easy-to-follow and fun…and she was able to turn her passion into a business!

Jen is now a designer of sewing patterns, focusing on classing clothing designs for babies and kids. There is also a good mix in difficulty level, from patterns for a beginner sewer to an advanced seamstress. Jen has a wonderful library of sewing patterns, from adorable little girl dresses, to little boy pants, to cute plushies, and more. Her patterns have also been featured in several publications, such as Sewn Hats by Carla Hegeman Crim and Stash Books’ Hat Shop: 25 Projects to Sew, from Practical to Fascinating (Design Collective) , compiled by Susanne Woods, and is a workshop instructor at Craftsy.

Jen’s sewing patterns can be found on her Etsy Shop, as well as on her website.We got into contact with Jen after Spring Quilt Market, and had the absolute pleasure of partnering with her on a sewing pattern project. I LOVE ruffles and bows, so Jen created the most *adorable* Tunic Dress and Bloomers Play Set…featuring, yes you guessed it, ruffles AND bows. LOVE!! They are the absolute cutest things ever, and look even more sweet with our Petite Plume Collection. We are so in love with this play set! How adorable would a little tot look in this? *Swoon*

You can get the full patterns for our Teeny Tiny Play Set HERE and HERE. This pattern is available as a free project from our Free Projects Program. We want to say a HUGE thank you to Jen for the incredible partnership, and of course for the sweetest of play sets! We cannot wait for what’s to come in the near future, so stay tuned! Be sure to check out Jen’s sewing patterns on her Etsy Shop and website, as well as her Facebook, Twitter, blog, and Craftsy Pages. Have a wonderful day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a wonderful day so far. We are excited because today means that it’s one day closer to the weekend – YAY!! :) If you haven’t seen our latest How To’s Day, we shared our adorable, new Teeny Tiny Play Set project by Tie Dye Diva Patterns. You can find the full tutorial, with patterns, HERE and HERE!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are taking the time to thank one of our wonderful project designers. This week, we are featuring Veronica Koh Eischeid of VeronicaMade. VeronicaMade is the blog created by Veronica to share her passion for all things creative, fabric-, and sewing-related. Veronica graduated with a degree in journalism and a double minor is Spanish & design, and was an editor for the Better Homes & Gardens Creative Collection for 3 years! Along the way, she has continued to pursue her love for crafting – sewing, quilting, making jewelry, paper crafting, hand lettering, knitting, crocheting, cooking, and more. As well, she started an Etsy Shop to share her little handmade trinkets. On her blog, VeronicaMade, Veronica shares her latest creations, unique tutorials, and as well as some more personal ventures.

We had the pleasure of partnering with Veronica on a quilted project for our Free Projects Program! Veronica created a wonderful quilted pillow design called the Modern Cross Pillow with our Birds of a Feather Collection and we absolutely adore the modern and simplistic look of this pillow. The main pattern is a floral cross made up of equilateral triangles to give a fun, pinwheel effect to the design. We love how this pillow looks with our floral-infused Birds of a Feather Collection, but can imagine this pillow with our Fresh Solids or any of our other collections. Add this stunning accent pillow to your sofa or bed to add some freshness to your decor!

Thank you SO much, Veronica, for working with us and for creating a wonderful quilted pillow for us! You can find the full, free pattern for the Modern Cross Pillow HERE. As well, be sure to check out Veronica’s blog, Etsy Shop, and Flickr for lots more!! Have a terrific rest of the day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
