{"title":"Fabric Designed by Michelle Yeo","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"font-weight: 2; font-size: medium;\"\u003eMichelle Yeo was born in the leafy eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, where she still lives with her husband and 3 of her 4 children. From a young age Michelle was interested in sewing and crafts, but it wasn’t until 1984 that she made her first quilt after her then fiancé, now husband, told her that he hated doonas and wanted sheets, blankets, and a patchwork quilt. He now regrets he spoke those words as he never dreamed what a monster that comment would create.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-weight: 2; font-size: medium;\"\u003eMichelle has been designing quilts and teaching for 20 years and began running her own business, Michelle Yeo Quilt Designs, in 2006. In early 2017 she stopped working part time as an Occupational Therapist to concentrate full time on her quilt and fabric designing business, as well as pursuing her passion for teaching. She is an enthusiastic quilt designer \u0026amp; teacher \u0026amp; teaches throughout Australia and internationally having taught in Europe, Norway, England and the USA.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-weight: 2; font-size: medium;\"\u003eInspired by antique quilts and the challenge of design, Michelle uses reproduction fabrics to achieve a timeless appeal. But she is a contemporary artist who takes advantage of the increased speed and accuracy that is possible using modern tools and piecing techniques such as freezer paper foundation piecing, while also loving the more traditional techniques including hand \u0026amp; machine piecing, appliqué \u0026amp; broderie perse. Michelle has a range of acrylic templates for ease and accuracy of cutting and piecing which accompany a number of her designs.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-weight: 2; font-size: medium;\"\u003eMichelle has been designing fabrics since 2015 and her lines are inspired by fabrics from her collection of antique quilts and textiles from the 18th and 19th century. Michelle is extremely excited to have the opportunity to design fabrics for Henry Glass \u0026amp; Co. which are inspired by her love of antique quilts and the fabrics within them.\u003c\/h2\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fabric-henry-glass-cream-abstract-whole-cloth-lost-gardens-of-heligan-108-wide-back-by-the-quarter-yard-3602w-44","title":"Fabric Henry Glass Cream Abstract Whole Cloth Lost Gardens of Heligan 108\" Wide Back by the Quarter Yard 3602W-44","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFabric is cut to order in \u003cb\u003econtinuous\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003equarter yard increments\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cbr\u003eExample:\u20281 unit = ¼ yard, 4 units = 1 yard, 10 units = 2½ yards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-weight: 2; font-size: medium;\"\u003e100% premium quilting cotton, 108\" wide for quilt backs. \u003cspan\u003eLost Gardens of Heligan by Michelle Yeo was created to celebrate her wonderful friendship with Ingrid. A few years ago, Michelle met Ingrid at a sewing group and they bonded over their shared passion for quilting, especially early 19th-century antique quilts. Ingrid’s family name, on her father’s side, is St Austell-Moyle. After googling her family name, they stumbled upon the Lost Gardens of Heligan. This collection is a tribute to their friendship and Ingrid’s generosity in allowing Michelle to reproduce some of her antique prints.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"Henry Glass \u0026 Co.
