Pieced Hexies Preview! ((& Give-Away!))

***NOTE!! The Drawing is now CLOSED!!***



I’ve been blessed to have many talented quilters cross my path ---and my life has been enhanced and enriched by all I have learned from them. I am re-charged by their energy, I am re-fueled by their sense of humor, or their wisdom and understanding. Some I have taught with on various occassions, but no one has crossed my path in more ways than my friend Mickey Depre!

If you’ve been lucky enough to take any of her workshops or hear her lecture, or own one of her other books, you know exactly what I mean!

We met at the Gulf States Quilting Association a couple years ago. A month later we found ourselves meeting up again and teaching for the Virginia Consortium of Quilters. From there we found we were next-door-roomies at the Road to California quilt show in 2011!

I was lucky enough to have her drop in on me this past spring when I came to Illinois – and I got to meet her other hilarious half, her hubby Paul!

And now I get to be honored to give you the heads up on Mickey’s fabulous new book!

You know how *I* Love hexies --- well Mickey’s spin on it leaves me in the dust in so many ways. As her Pieced Hexies facebook page header states: A blank hexie is just a wannabe pieced hexie!

She has taken English paper piecing and set it on it’s ear!

It’s modern,

It’s fresh,

It’s fun,

It’s addictive,

It’s fabulous!

The possibilities are endless!

In Pieced Hexies you will discover the 7 basics.

And from there discover ways to change those and watch them evolve into completely new designs.

Once the possibilities emerge, the ideas do not stop coming!

And in Mickey’s own words….

210334_476796455673288_328139235_o

“A Hexie Quilt does not have to be entirely made of Hexies!

Use your Pieced Hexie motifs as Applique!”

I had a little fun making hexie collages of my favorite of Mickeys designs:

mickey 035

Whooowhooooo!

mickey 036

Don’t you love these?!

mickey 037

The techniques are unbelievably easy ---with fantastic results!

Pieced Hexies is due out any day now and Mickey is taking pre-orders on her website.

To celebrate Mickey’s release of Pieced Hexies with Kansas City Star, we are having a GIVE-AWAY!!

Drop me a comment below and I will draw a winner upon my return from South Carolina – I’m driving back home on Sunday and should be home in the evening ---if I’m too dead tired, maybe we’ll make it Monday Morning! LOL!

If your email address is not linked to your blogger account, or if you are signing in as ANONYMOUS you must leave your name and email address so we can contact you. If there is no email address on the person we draw, we will draw someone else!

I’ll be choosing one winner to win an autographed copy of Pieced Hexies direct from Mickey Depre!

I can’t wait to see the quilts you are going to make after seeing this book!

Good luck, Everyone!


***PS*** If you have already pre-ordered Pieced Hexies and WIN, Mickey will refund and cancel your first order so you won't end up with two copies unless you want them!

Wow how fun do pieced hexies look?! Grandmother's garden is the 1st pattern that thrilled my soul as a child and made me want to learn to quilt. At 55 I still have not realized the hexie dream but I am a quilter. I still dream of learning to do hexies and completing a Grandmothers garden. I still dream of being a grandma too. Maybe your book could inspire the hexie dream to come true while I wait for a grandbaby!

Anonymous said...

Hi Bonnie! You inspired me to try hexies last year, and I've had lots of fun. I'm working on the elongated diamonds for Martha Washington's Flower Garden, using scraps of my Daiwabo taupes from other projects. Sometimes I only work on them once a month at my quilt guild meetings, but I definitely enjoy the process. This is a perfect example of "never say never," because if anyone had asked me 5 years ago if I would ever try English paper piecing, I would have laughed myself silly! Thanks for the inspiration and continued progress reports.

Just bought the accuquilt last week and receive my hexie dies today. Would love to have this book to get me started on my hexie project. Ramona from Maine sewnsew@live.com Thanks

Ok!! all this hexie talk has got me thinking I should be joining the rest of the quilting world & start a hexie project. I will definitely need this book if I'm jumping on the bandwagon.

I've been hooked on hexies since my daughter gave me a box of unfinished ones found in her DH's grandmother's closet. This book looks intriguing to say the least! What an innovative way with hexagons. Thank you Bonnie for the fun and inspirational blog. Love reading it every day.

Boonnie those are the most beautiful hexies I have seen. I would love to learn this technique and I am a scrap saver so I would have another use for my scraps besides my string quilts. Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win Mickey's book. Stitching hugs, Joyce (joycemarlane@aol.com)

I love hexies, have only done some small projects but would love chance to explore some new ideas. When I was lucky enough to take a class with Bonnie I bragged "I got to meet the hexie quilt in person"

OMG, something else to try. Another must do. The list gets longer. Beautiful. I have a quilt I want to do hexies on the border, and this will be just the ticket.

Ooh I would LOVE to be the lucky winner of this hexie book. I am working on a grandmothers flower garden king size quilt. I'm into my 5th year. I'm joining rows together now. I want to hand quilt it, too, so may be done in 2017? LOL
