Quilting Artists

Mickey Depre

Textiles have always fascinated artist Mickey Depre. From vintage to current, her tastesincludes themALL! Sewing in general, mending to garment making, were never a chore for her. But when she pushed herself beyond traditional quilt making, she found the road less traveled was inviting.

Mickey's quilts have been described as whirlwinds of color, with oranges residing next to purples of all shades in harmony. Dots, swirls, and stripes intermingle with florals and prints in an outlandish yet exciting visual parade.

Her work mixes traditional quilting techniques with bold, innovative machine appliqué and threadwork. Fabric choices include her own hand dyed cotton with commercial cottons for a special spark of color and depth. Pieces are heavily machine quilted on her APQS George quilting machine.

The images are meant to spark thought and a smile, as humor is a great gift to share.
