New Collection - Camelot Fabrics: VILLAGE LIFE


I’m so excited to share with you that my second fabric collection for Camelot Fabrics has launched on their website. ‘Village Life’ is a particularly special collection for me because it’s inspired by my home in semi-rural Worcestershire, UK. 


Prints include bold floral blooms from the village allotment...




... while patterns featuring hens, cockerels, pigs and runner ducks are all inspired by the farm that is a five minute walk from my home ( - I love those runner ducks so much!) 





Typography patterns aim to reflect the community spirit of the village and even feature the clock at the village centre. 


Camelot Fabrics say: 
"Let the sun shine in! Vicky Yorke’s sophomore collection is about as charming as it gets with sunny yellow flowers, roosters, geese and pigs. The show-stopper: an edge-to-edge “I love my garden” border print."


The designs are all in a super-pretty (and very on trend!) grey and yellow colourway making this perfect fabric for all your farmhouse projects. 'Village Life'  will be in stores October 2018. (Ask your local fabric store to pre-order it now!) 


 I’m also delighted to announce that Camelot will be taking 'Village Life' and my first collection, 'From London With Love' to Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon from May 18-20, so if you are heading to the show please stop by and take a look!

    Hi Vicky, I'm in the process of designing some quilt patterns in EQ8, using your From London with Love collection. However, I can't figure out the measurements for scaling the images. Where can I find the scale measurements? I'm very excited for the release of this collection.

      Hi Cheryl, Sorry for my slow response. For some reason I don't get a notification for comments on here, so will try to sort that out! Please go to: http://camelotfabrics.com/designers/vicky-yorke/from-london-with-love-collection.html and click on the thumbnail for the design you like. This will bring up a larger image at the top of the page. Next to this it will say 'Click here for a larger image' - Click on this for the measurement scales. 'From London With Love' is out now and I'd love to see what you make with it! :-)

JUST A CARD INDIE WEEK - DAY 5 - INDIE FRIDAY

Image
Today is Indie Friday - t he Colourful Independent alternative to Black Friday.   As anyone who has followed my shop will know I have never had a Black Friday sale - only colourful weekend sales! Personally, I find the whole concept of Black Friday rather depressing. It sounds so bleak and sapped of life. And actually if you look into the history, it's not that great... Many people think it refers to the day that shop keepers go into the black (- showing profit as opposed to being in the red financially), but it actually refers to the black days of financial crashes and references a day marked by disaster or misfortune. According to Dictionary.com it was first used by factory managers in the 1950s to describe the Friday after Thanksgiving because so many of their workers decided to call in sick, thus extending the holiday. The article goes on to say: "About 10 years later,   Black Friday   was used by Philadelphia traffic cops to describe the day after Thanksgiving because th

JUST A CARD INDIE WEEK - DAY 3

Image
I love visiting independent stores and gift markets at any time of the year, to wander round looking at the treasure trove of loveliness and finding beautiful presents for loved ones - and little treats for myself! But at Christmas I think independents really come into their own. The stores are beautifully decorated, the gift stalls are fabulously festive and there is always a warm welcome! They've been adding to the loveliness all year... It's just really special and I know they are waiting for you to pop along and give them their time to shine! Today is my absolute favourite day of Just A Card Indie Week, because it's the day I get to shout about my favourite independent businesses! All of these designers, makers and independent stores are doing an incredible job of enriching our lives through creativity and / or community. This year I've decided to focus on independents who are local to me. I've created a little paragraph about each, but please take a look at the

'Virtual Coffee Morning' for Macmillan

Image
On the 28 September Macmillan cancer support is holding it’s annual fundraising event – ‘The world’s biggest coffee morning.’ Support for cancer sufferers is a cause very close to my heart. Like so many people I have lost family members to cancer – and thankfully, I have family members who have survived cancer. I also have first hand experience of the disease as around 20 months ago I was diagnosed with a form of Leukaemia known as CML. Since diagnosis I have been on a clinical trial and am extremely lucky, because due to medication and the support I receive from family and friends I am predominantly able to get on with my life without major disruption at the moment. However it’s a long haul and I understand that for cancer sufferers the future is often uncertain…I spend a lot of time in the cancer care unit at my local hospital and see the impact that cancer has on people’s lives    – Thankfully Macmillan is there to provide practical, medical and financial support when cancer get
