Treasures from Granny’s Attic

There are treasures to be found from days gone by in Granny’s Attic. Come take a peek at some treasures Brenda Grampsas has found that tell stories of how things used to be. She will share a nice collection of Granny’s personal items and quilts that are now heirlooms.

We wish each item had a voice of its own to share where it has been up until now. Brenda Grampsas is an American Quilter’s Society Certified Quilt Appraiser and will be sharing quilts from her collection of vintage and antique quilts on March 28 at 11 a.m. at the Horry County Museum.

Brenda 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. Brenda is very 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 Brenda’s website www.thimbletales.com.

The program will begin at 11 a.m. at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. This event is free and open to the public.
