Workshop with Michelle Yeo
We are delighted to announce a very special event at Reproduction Fabrics.
Michelle Yeo—internationally renowned Australian quilt designer, historian, and master of traditional techniques—will be joining us for two days of hands-on workshops, May 17 & 18, in celebration of classic quilting and the launch of her newest fabric collection, Lost Gardens of Heligan.
Michelle is admired worldwide not only for her beautiful work, but for her patient, enthusiastic teaching style and her generosity in sharing traditional quilting knowledge. She is highly sought after as a teacher and guest speaker, having taught extensively throughout Australia and internationally in the UK, the United States, and Europe. We are honored to welcome her to Northfield for this intimate learning experience.
What You’ll Learn
Michelle will be teaching a variety of techniques drawn directly from her two new quilt patterns. You can choose to focus on one pattern or explore techniques from both.
-
Hand Appliqué, the Broderie Perse Method - A beautiful, meditative technique perfect for fussy cutting and showcasing special motifs.
-
Freezer Paper Foundation Piecing - Michelle’s precise, intuitive approach to achieving crisp, accurate blocks.
Experience Level
Whether you’re a confident beginner or a seasoned traditionalist, you’ll leave with new skills, new inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind Michelle’s designs.
Quilt Inspiration
Class registration includes your choice of Ingrid’s Garden (Broderie Perse center medallion) or St Austell (with an amazing LeMoyne Stars), Michelle’s newest quilt patterns created to showcase her Lost Gardens of Heligan fabric collection.
Quilt kits will be available to support each pattern, or you are welcome to visit ReproductionFabrics.com and select your own fabrics to make the project uniquely yours. You are also welcome to use fabrics from your stash. WE WILL SEND YOU A SPECIAL-ORDER FORM FOR KITS FOR THIS WORKSHOP after you register.
