A crafting enthusiast from a young age, the enterprising Mickey Depre earned spending money by making and selling handmade doll clothes . . . to her sisters! In this episode, the accomplished quilt artist, teacher, and author shares a sampling of her wonderful quilts, demonstrates the basics of traditional English paper piecing (including a nifty trick or two), and then opens the door on the infinite variations possible for those fabulous pieced hexies. The episode concludes with Jane Knight, who takes us on a tour of our day's location, The Charleston (SC) Tea Plantation, the only operating tea plantation on the US mainland. Brew up a pot of your favorite variety, settle in, and enjoy!
The show debuts July 15, 2013.
