Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! That’s right…it’s Friday!! Remember when we said that we were excited that the weather was getting nicer yesterday? Well, we woke up to SNOW this morning. Madness. It’s the end of March, and we are still getting Winter weather! Let’s hope it all melts away before April comes! :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday post! Today we are sharing with you a couple of adorable baby quilts sewn by Heather K. The two baby quilts use different color-ways from our Day at the Zoo Collection, one highlighting the rustic orange bark design and the other mixing greens & blues. The craftsmanship of the quilts is stunning, and the choice in quilt patterns are so lovely! It goes perfectly with the collection. Our Day at the Zoo Collection features charming lions, owls, hippos, and other friendly critters with a mix of neutral colours that would be perfect for any baby- or kid-friendly project.

Heather made these two quilts for two cousins who each have baby boys. Noland was born in January and another cousin adopted an infant, Michael, last Fall. Heather is from a big Irish, Catholic family, and her and her cousins were all the first born daughters! She decided to make baby quilts for the newest little ones in the family – such a sweet gift! :)

We are big cat lovers here at Camelot Fabrics, so this photo just warms our hearts!! Heather’s kittie, Steve McQueen (umm, epic name by the way!), definitely approves of the quilts, shown here helping Heather with the binding:

We absolutely adore how soft and lovable these baby quilts are, with our Day at the Zoo collection…Heather did an incredible job!! You can check out Heather’s blog for more, and she is also on Twitter and Instagram! Thank you so much for sharing the quilts with us, Heather!! Have a great weekend :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic and restful weekend. It is officially the last week of February…wow, this month honestly flew by! We are very excited for March to arrive, as Spring comes along at the end…and we’re hoping for reflective weather. Here’s to a great end to February!

It’s time to kick-start this awesome week with some Moody Monday inspiration. With Spring on our minds, today we are inspiring you with our Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham collection. Beyond the Backyard is a vibrant and cheerful collection of brilliant purple, pink, orange, and green hues. The designs on this collection are very Spring inspired, infused with leaf and floral prints. The colours are warm and comforting, with the patterns having a retro-vibe. Such a wonderful collection for a cute, Spring dress or nature-inspired bedroom set!

Keeping with the color scheme of Beyond the Backyard, we are sharing an eclectic Fall 2013 RTW collection by Rag & Bone. A little bit more fall inspired, but bursting with great mixes in color palette, Rag & Bone‘s collection is very structured and streamlined with a masculine twist. The rugged feel from the tougher textures from the leather, tweed, and herringbone are juxtaposed with fun colors (purple, olive green, and orange)! The unique mixes of colors in each outfit remind us of our Beyond the Backyard collection. You can check out the full collection here!

We hope you have been inspired with today’s Moody Monday! Have you entered our Chalkboard Fabric Giveaway? Let us know what you would create with our chalkboard fabric for a chance to win here :)

Happy Sewing!
