Michele is world famous because of her love of William Morris and his designs. Michele has designed fabrics, lead tours to UK, designed quilts and published books - all focused on William Morris and his designs. You can find Michele's blog here - William Morris and Michele.
I haven't made any of Michele's patterns myself, but my mum has made two and would have loved to have seen her quilts up close.
The details in Michele's applique are amazing when you get up really close.
I enjoyed see Michele's design process, and studying her sketches.
I also attended Michele's special lecture where she spent one hour showing us many photos from her William Morris tours through England and Iceland. I can tell that the tours would have been a lot of fun because Michele is a very happy person.
Michele is retiring from teaching at the end of this year, but she is going to lead some very special William Morris tours in Adelaide, Australia, next year. Adelaide has the largest collection of William Morris memorabilia outside of the UK. You can find out more about the tours here.
