Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a great day. Have you entered our Nordic FQB Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter here!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Peaks & Valleys Table Runner by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. The Peaks & Valleys Table Runner is a simple, but elegant table runner that will add a fun pop to your dining or living room table. The “zig-zag” designs are made up of smaller triangles to resemble peaks & valleys, while the clean white space makes it an easy mixing piece with your current decor. How pretty does it look with the color colorway of our Beach House by Jack!e McFee collection? Gorg!

We also had this table runner made up for our Quilt Market Mickey Mouse & Friends section. We adore how the bright, primary colors look together. Shannon Fraser did such an amazing job!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! It was super sunny and hot this weekend for us; the humidity was definitely at its high…but it was the perfect weekend for sitting by the pool, with a summer cocktail (or jumping into the pool too!). Have you seen our What We Love post? We are starting a new feature on the blog sharing with you all what we, the Camelot Design Studio, loved most for the week! :)

It’s time to start off this sunshine-filled week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Cove by Camelot Design Studio collection for Spring 2014. Encapsulated in a calm colour palette of powdered blue, tan, and muted grey…this collection is very ocean-inspired. The clear waters, the gritty sand, and the smell of the salty air…these are some of things we love most about the beach, and Cove brings us back to that place. Cove mixes calming colors with modern prints of ikats, fretworks, and hexagons and would be the perfect setting for a ocean-themed room. Think tide colored pillows, a cozy blue and tan quilt, and some decorative sea glass pieces to finish off the look. If you can’t get to the beach, then creating something or decorating with Cove is the next best thing! Check out all the full Cove collection HERE!

One collection that reminds us of our Cove Collection is that of M.Patmos’ Spring 2014 RTW line. Soft hues are always on-trend for the Spring and Summer, but we have been seeing a lot of powdered blues on the runways for Spring 2014, such as at the Nina Ricci and Marchesa shows too.

There is just something so calming and serene about this muted blue color that we especially adore, which is perfect for contrasting against the hot summer temperatures. M.Patmos’ collection is a mixture of blues, greens, and tans which reminds us of clear, tropical waters. This look especially reminds us of Cove, with the stunning woven sweater and accompanying tan & powdered blue accessories. Such a beach-y look! You can check out the full collection here.

Happy Sewing!
