Hello and welcome to Michelle Yeo Quilt Designs. Please use the menu to the left to purchase quilt designs ( we can deliver by post, or you can elect to download), subscribe to my free newsletter, or generally navigate around the website. If you are a lover of vintage and antique quilts, I hope you enjoy my site. I specialise in the design and creation of quilts, which are inspired, by quilts of the past. You can view my full catalog here. I am in total awe of the ladies in centuries gone by who designed such magnificent quilts without the modern technologies we have available to us today. I would struggle to design many of the patterns I draft if I had to depend on pencil and paper, not to mention a compass and protractor!
Many of the patterns on Michelle Yeo Quilt Designs can be downloaded in pdf. format directly from the site using Paypal, an extremely secure method of payment. This results in instant gratification with no postage attached, so you can start a project as soon as you have organised the fabrics! All you need is Adobe Reader on your computer, which can be down loaded from Adobe at no cost to you. Remember to tape the relevant pattern pieces together, if required, by matching the dotted lines at the edges of the pages. However, if preferred, a printed pattern can be ordered and posted to you. No postage will be charged at the Checkout. Correct postage will be requested via Paypal once the goods have been packaged and weighed at the Post Office. This will ensure accurate shipping costs are charged. Goods will be posted once the postage has been confirmed as paid by PayPal. Perspex templates are available for some of the projects and can be ordered from Michelle Yeo Quilt Designs. A range of Adjustable rulers with a locking fabric guide, ensure that rotary cutting both straight cuts and triangles have never been more accurate. These rulers are designed and made in Australia and were “The New Inventors People’s Choice Series Final Winner in 2008″. I hope you enjoy your visit to Michelle Yeo Quilt Designs and that you become a regular visitor. I welcome your feedback. Wholesale enquiries for patterns and templates welcome. Classes and workshops available. Please contact Michelle to organize. We have several designs for you to select from. All patterns are available for purchase via credit card and immediate download as PDF files ( click here to purchase ), or printed via post ( click here to purchase )
Templates are available for some of the patterns on this site ( click here to view the list ). These are custom made from 3mm translucent fibre-optic plastic and are great for quick rotary cutting and accurate marking of seam allowances and, therefore, more accurate piecing. All templates come with the seam allowance included and laser marked and with holes at the junction of the seam allowances. They can be used for hand and machine piecing. Rotary cut around the edge of the template, mark through the holes using a fine mechanical pencil, and, if hand piecing use the corresponding edge of the template to join the holes and mark the stitching line. |
We are lucky enough today to have many wonderful fabric designers who specialise in reproduction fabrics. It is these fabrics that I use in my quilts to try and achieve a similar timeless appeal to that of antique quilts. However, the patterns would be just as stunning in more modern fabrics, if this is more the style that suits your décor.
