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….
“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:
Whooowhooooo!
Don’t you love these?!
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!
Hexies look great. Would love to play around with some of those designs, Thanks for chance to win the book.

ReplyDeleteI am just finishing up my first hexie project. I love the look of Mickey's designs.

ReplyDeletePleas add me to the book draw
What a neat idea with hexies. Yes always something new in the quilting world isn't there.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this twist on hexies! Can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeletePS - WRT your lament on the boring bow-tie assembly - why not assemble them as leaders / enders? I did an entire queen-sized quilt that way after reading your book. Even included the borders (which might be considered a stretch :) )
Katie Teague - kemteague@comcast.net
Ooh,don't those look like fun! Even if I don't win, Christmas is coming...
ReplyDeleteCount me in, they look very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI discovered Mickey Depre when I did a sampler quilt featured on the Fairfield World website and one block was her design. I fell in love with her work! Very innovative. I'm definitely intrigued by these hexies and would certainly enjoy winning her new book!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh would I love to have this book. I've been piecing a GFG, and am almost done. I'll need something else for hand work, and these variations would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought that piecing the individual hexies would lead
ReplyDeleteto such fantastic designs. Guess that is why you are the experts
at what you do. This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing this with us,

I have been watching on fb as Mickey has been showing her hexies during the summer and I am hooked on what she is doing... I am working on 2 Grandmother's Flower Garden quilts but she is definitely taking the process to a new level... would love to win her book
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book.
ReplyDeleteWow--what an innovative idea! I've been doing just plain, regular hexies for about a year--I use them as handwork to do if I'm on vacation or waiting for my mother at the doctor's. Not sure I'm ready for this level of complexity yet, but I'd like to try.
ReplyDeleteawesome. looks fun
ReplyDeleteOMG...what could be better...scrappy hexies?!?!?! I love love love it!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! What an interesting look of the hexie flowers. I love those ideas. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of her book.

I love Mickey's designs and love yours as well... perfect combo!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those ingenius ideas that makes you think - why didn't someone think of this before? My friend and fellow quild member has been doing hexes for a while now and if I won I would give the book to her (I know she would share it with me).
ReplyDeleteAll sorts of possibilities are flying through my head! I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI love this technique. My one and only hexagon project used pieced hexagons and it gives so much more dimension to the design. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteLove love love!!! So inspiring! Would love to win the book!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great new and fun idea for hexagons! I have the hexie quilt my mother-in-law made when she was a teenager...she called it Diamond Mine...it was well loved (as in tatters now).

Bonnie, I am usually proud of my blind hem stitch; but when I recently tried joining some hexies, I did not like how my stitches showed. I need some tips or to take a class. Maybe if my hexies were as creative as Mickey's, I would not mind seeing my stitches joining them. I would love to win a copy of her new book. Thank you for all your inspiration for design possibilities, sewing and quilting.
ReplyDeleteExciting idea! I'd love to win.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten that far into hexies yet. . . .but I think it will be a great portable project (after I finish some of my UFO's).
ReplyDeleteFantastic, contemporary twist on ancient designs! And I think your hexie project is, at least in part, responsibile for the hexagon revival in our world. You've taken this around the world for 10 years and thousands have seen it. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI love making and collecting anything with hexagons! These pieced hexagons are such a great idea. Have a good trip, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea! I'm still just a hexie beginner, but I'm having a great time with my plain ol' one-color ones! I'd love to win this book!
