Sweet Repeats

We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us on Tuesday, March 3 at 11 a.m. as Certified Quilt Appraiser Brenda Grampsas shares a trunk show featuring quilts and a few garments made from or embellished with vintage/antique linens or lace. This includes doilies, dresser scarves, embroidered pillow cases, hankies, tablecloths and other textile treasures we often inherit. These items are too precious to discard but what is to be done with them? Inspiration is the goal.

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.

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 hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov .
