Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! With the weekend just around the corner, we hope you all have had a terrific and productive week thus far! Today we bring to you our weekly Thankful Thursday post and this week we are taking the time to thank the Glimpse Reviews blog.

The Glimpse Reviews blog is run by two lovely ladies, Andrea and Julie, from the Canadian Prairies. Their blog focuses on local, Canadian-based stores and businesses – something we definitely support and appreciate being Canadian-born! Both being mommies, their blog posts focus on kid-friendly, DIY, and natural products (and everything in-between!) that are all Canadian-based. As well, they host a multitude of different giveaways to their readers (and who doesn’t love giveaways, right?). We definitely think you will love all their informative postings and recommend you take a little glimpse at their blog (see what we did there? ;))!

The Glimpse ladies chose their favorite fabric designs from us, and created some very special projects that they shared on their blog! Julie chose our Stitched Garden Collection and she sewed a darling, ruffled skirt for her little daughter. The Stitched Garden designs are girly and innocent, and made the perfect little twirl skirt.

Oh how adorable!!

Andrea decided to go in the opposite direction of the gender spectrum, and chose our beloved Star Trek Collection to make something for her little boy. She sewed a backseat car organizer for him, so now he can easily store away all his toys from his three sisters. Such a functional and useful project, and it looks fantastic with our Star Trek fabric! Be sure to read the Glimpse review blog post on Camelot Fabrics here.

Thank you so much to the Glimpse girls for the wonderful blog post and projects with our fabric! We are so thrilled that you love our designs. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Thankful Thursday post!

PS: Have you seen yesterday’s Winsday? You could win our Birds of a Feather FQ Bundle by telling us what you would create with the fabric. Comment and enter on the blog post here. Good luck! We will be announcing the winner on next week’s Winsday post.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

We hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday! By the near end of the workweek, we simply just want the week to be over without realizing that wishing for the weekend would mean wistfully passing through the many moments leading up to it. Sometimes we need to stop and recognize the beauty that life truly holds, even in those stressful and long but brief periods of time.

That is why we’ve decided to dedicate our Thursdays to appreciating the people around us. We truly are so lucky and blessed. In the heart of another Thankful Thursday, today we are proudly taking the time to thank our selfless #SewSocial partners, Quilts for Kids.

We launched our #SewSocial Project this Summer, partnering with Quilts for Kids, Mary Fons, and the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players. It has been such a fantastic journey thus far, and we hope we can continue our #SewSocial for years to come. In collaborating with Quilts for Kids, we have been able to create lapquilts that will comfort children in need. Our goal is to brighten these children’s days by giving them something loving and warm. It truly has been such a heartfelt and inspiring experience working with such an altruistic group of people.

Quilts for Kids launched in 2000 by founder Linda Arye when she started out using fabric samples from landfills to create quilts for children in need. 13 years later, it is now an international organization that donates over 30,000 quilts every year. The Quilts for Kids mission statement is “transforming fabric into patchwork quilts that comfort children with life-threatening illnesses and children of abuse”. They have since been able to bring so many smiles to children every year and we are so proud and honored to be partnered with such a beautiful cause.

We are also donating 10% of the proceeds from our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis fabric collection to Quilts for Kids! Check out the full collection on our website here.

And here are some of the exquisite quilts being created using our fabric:

Hello everyone!

First of all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Whether you are all decked out in a fabulous costume today or going out with the little ones for Trick-or-Treating, we wish you a boo-tiful and safe Halloween!

Being that today is Thursday…it is also Thankful Thursday! Today we have decided to take the time to thank one fantastic and vivacious lady, the beautiful Mdm Samm from Sew We Quilt. Mdm Samm has been such a wonderful supporter to us, has created many amazing projects for her blog using our fabrics, and overall has been the best cheerleader! We absolutely adore her!!

Here are some of her projects:

…Using our Simply Fashionista fabric, Mdm Samm created the most darling sewing bag (named the Tammy Bag) and a sweet thread catcher to match. We just adore the ruffles!!

As well, Mdm Samm sewed the perfect, hero-worthy quilt using our  Man of Steel fabric for her eldest who is a big Superman fan!! It is absolutely amazing, and would make any Superman fan swoon! We also featured her quilt in a past Fan Friday, which you can check out here.

And this is just the beginning! We are so ecstatic to be working with Mdm Samm and there is lots more to come. We are also the official sponsors of her next blog hop, The Boys Blog Hop, which will run from November 6th – 13th, 2013. We are SOO incredibly excited to see all the amazing and creative projects that will come from the blog hop!

Thank you Mdm Samm for being the ultimate cheerleader!! We are sure you have heard of this lovely lady, but here is her blog link to check out all her posts and blog hops.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a lovely Thursday thus far. On Thursdays we like to take the time to appreciate those who have lovingly supported us…and there truly are so many!!

One project that we have been proudly working on this year is our #SewSocial Project. This is the first year that we’ve launched it, so it’s still in its infancy, but with the resounding positive feedback from many, many people it has grown wonderfully in such a short period. Our #SewSocial Project partners up with Quilts for Kids, a fantastic organization that sews lap quilts for children with long-term illnesses and children of abuse. We feel so honored to be working with such an inspiring organization. We also have the privilege of working with Mary Fons, creator and founder of Quilty Magazine, who will be creating the lap quilts – a quick {for now!} thank you to her! We hope to continue our #SewSocial Project in the following years, to only grow more and comfort as many children in need as we can.

This year, we have partnered up with the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players (MPBP). They have been an integral part in helping our #SewSocial Project grow. On August 4th, 2013 we hosted a #SewSocial Launch Party in Orlando, Florida with the MPBP, Mary Fons, and the lovely ladies from Quilts with Kids. There was lots of yummy food, many laughs and happy tears, and a bustling of creativity and sewing…amongst beautiful company. It was such a lovely and successful event, for such an incredible cause.

Our wonderful NBA fabric!
