Rubba Dub Dub: Does Your Quilt Belong in the Tub?

We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us March 1 at 1 p.m. as Certified Quilt Appraiser Brenda Grampsas answers questions about the care and storage of quilts. Grampsas will present methods of treating stains and laundering quilts that have worked for her and her clients for years. Questions are welcome!

Grampsas is an American Quilters Society Quilt Appraiser, certified in 2005. She has a lifetime of sewing and quilting experience with a passion for all things quilted. Her experience in teaching the “how to” of quilting extends not only to adults but many years of quilting classes with children and teens. Watching others catch the “quilt bug” through her shared trunk shows, lectures and workshops feeds the natural teacher in her.

She is inspired by quilts from many eras and is especially fascinated by scrap quilts because of their wide range of fabrics. Grampsas is  involved in the restoration of quilts. Teaching others the art of restoration has become advantageous due to the many requests for restoration service. More information can be found on her website at thimbletales.com.

The program will begin at 1 p.m. at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. This event is free and open to the public.
