Welcome!

It’s time for What We Love #15 ♥ This week, we’re trying to brighten things up a bit here with COLOR! As we are approaching fall weather, it does not mean that we should neglect all the pretty colors. The latest issue of Uppercase Magazine is all about color – each section inspired by and representing different shades of the rainbow. It’s such a beautiful source of creative energy to flip through. Carrying on with even more brightness, we love the idea of turning something ordinary into something extraordinary. For example: creating fruit out of balloons, freezing edible flowers into popsicles, adding a punch of color to a phone, and cool art encompassing everyday surroundings. We think it’s amazing how something so basic can become even more beautiful, with small changes; there’s something truly remarkable about that…

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone’s day is going well so far; it’s been pretty gloomy and rainy here. I guess it’s safe to say that Fall is officially upon us…here’s to apple picking, hayrides, and everything PUMPKIN!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today on the blog, we are featuring a fantastic online fabric shop that is truly dedicated & inspired by all things fabric…Hawthorne Threads! Hawthorne Threads is not only an amazing place to search for your favorite fabrics online, but it is also a source for inspiration and creative influence. Hawthorne Threads is run by a husband and wife duo, Charlie and Lindsay, who are elementary school sweethearts now married with two toddlers. That truly is the epitome of true love and soul mates.

It all started 6 years ago when Lindsay opened a small Etsy Shop dedicated to selling fabric and her handmade gems. From there, her shop quickly grew into a successful business where Hawthorne Threads was officially born. Charlie joined the team to develop and maintain the official website, as a software designer by trade. Now, Hawthorne Threads has become a favorite place for many to find fresh and modern fabric collections! Charlie and Lindsay do so much more than run an online fabric shop – they showcase the fabrics in unique and fun theme-centric ways in their photoshoots and moodboards. Their slogan truly embodies their shop and who they are – “brought to you by two love birds who love fabric” – and that love is truly shown in their work.

We are so thrilled that Hawthorne Threads loves Camelot Fabrics! We absolutely adore the featured moodboards on their website and Facebook, showcasing our fabric collections in such awesome ways. We love how they style each fabric collection accordingly, adding to the overall feel of the specific designs. As well, with each fabric collection, they showcase our corresponding projects & quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program. Here are some of our current favorites…

They’re always featuring new projects, fabric collections, and have an awesome weekly newsletter to inspire (plus giveaways, such as their Let’s Go giveaway last week!). Have a great rest of the day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

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… ♥

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! :)

Time for this week’s What We Love #13!! As always, we have been pinning what we love most on our Pinterest Boards. From creative DIY projects to delicious food to just cuteness, we’ve probably pinned it (haha). This week, we have been inspired by so many things – Fall is quickly approaching us, and we’ve been noticing autumn favorites showing up (ie. Starbucks’ PSL? Um, yum!). Not that we’re over Summer, we definitely could use another month of hot weather, but we’re also excited for all things that Fall will bring.

Our What We Love today is a mix of everything, sort of encapsulating Dr. Suess’ quote “we’re all a little weird…”. We definitely concur; where’s the fun if there is no weirdness? This week, we inspire you to embrace your weirdness…because being weird and embracing weirdness is how we should be ♥

Juan: Captain America
Marion: Dr. Suess’ Quote
Vanessa: Stretching Kitties
Shannen: White and Bronze Faux Deer Head
Valeria: Geek Cat

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s What We Love. Embrace your weirdness! Remember, we are always pinning away on our Pinterest Board, so be sure to check out our boards for even more daily inspiration ♥
