Welcome!

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!
 

 
Happy Sewing!

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!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We’re hosting our Star Wars: The Force Awakens Giveaway on our Facebook Page – be sure to enter!!

Keeping up with our Star Wars theme these past two weeks with our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of the awesome projects we had created with our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection – our Bucket Bag! Stephanie Baldwin, a fellow Montrealer, member of the Montreal MQG, and voice behind this blog, is one of our favorite people in the city to sew projects for us. She is super talented, efficient, and creative – and every project she has done for us…. we all smile with excitement and say “wow!”.

For the launch of our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection on Force Friday, we wanted to share some projects created with the designs. We chose our Bucket Bag, one of our free projects, which is a super cool beach, gym, or weekender bag – perfect for a Star Wars fan!

Thank you, Stephanie, for bringing our Bucket Bag to life! You can find more from Stephanie at her blog – Queen of Wands Studio. And, if you want to make your own Bucket Bag (with our new Star Wars collection), you can find the PDF printout here. Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a good one. We’re getting the last couple of hot days here, but (I know I might be one of a few) I’m ready for Fall ;) Pumpkin-flavored everything!

I know we usually post our giveaways on Wednesdays, but we had a very special collection come out on #ForceFriday – our Star Wars: The Force Awakens Collection. And with the launch, we shared a Star Wars: The Force Awakens FQB Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Yup, the winner will be one of the first people to get their hands on this collection. We decided to extend this giveaway until next Winsday (winner will be announced), so today will be a friendly reminder to enter if you haven’t yet…

Counting down to the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie in December, we want to know: Which Star Wars character are you most excited to see in Star Wars: The Force Awakens? Make sure to enter and comment on our Facebook Image… which you can find here. So go on, be sure to enter! The giveaway ends September 16th, 2015. This one is for our fellow Star Wars enthusiasts!! May the force be with you…

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a relaxing, long weekend. Did anyone work on any fun new (or WIP) projects?

It’s time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing one of our free quilt patterns, our Farm Stand Quilt by Anne Sullivan of Play Crafts. Farm Stand is a very cool and clean quilt pattern, featuring “columns” of fabric separated by a solid. We chose to have our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection made up in this quilt, and absolutely adore the linear, ombred effect created with the many, different designs. Melissa Dunworth of Sew Bitter Sweet Designs quilted the quilt for us, and are obsessed with her quilt work! Thanks, Melissa… SOO much!
