Louise Veverka: Pieces to Pieces, Blocks to Blocks
to
Horry County Museum 805 Main Street , Conway, South Carolina 29526
We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us March 13 at 2 p.m. for a presentation by local quilter Louise Veverka.
Ever wonder what those quilters are talking about when they use words like “flimsy”, “sandwich”, “batting and backing”, “sashing and cornerstones” or even the letters HST, WOF, LOF?
This program is an introduction to quilt blocks and how they are constructed from pieces and the language used by quilters, along with piecing names that go into the standard blocks used to construct the quilt top. Topics will include half square triangles, strips, or square in a square, and what it takes to make a “Log Cabin,” “Courthouse Steps,” or “Cathedral Windows.” Become familiar with the terminology used while quilting and see some of the most used blocks.
An avid quilter, Veverka is the current president of Coastal Carolina Quilters and a member of the Grand Strand Quilters program committee, along with being a member of Myrtle Beach Shorebirds Quilts of Valor. She has been quilting over four decades and has been a longarmer for about 10 years.
Veverka is a Navy veteran and learned to sew in high school in New Jersey. She raised a family in Ohio and was owner/president of her own survey company, “L.V. Surveying, Inc.”. She and her husband retired to the Myrtle Beach area in 2021.
The program will be held at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (843) 915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.
