Warm, Fuzzy Quilts of Childhood

Brenda Grampsas, certified quilt appraiser, asks, “Don’t you just love all the cute items purchased and made for a new baby in your family or circle of friends?” Baby and  children’s quilts often give us a warm, fuzzy feeling and this trunk show features many vintage/antique quilts and coverlets from Grampsas' personal collection that do just that. Join us on March 24 at 1 p.m. for a trip down memory lane. You may be inspired to make your next baby or child’s gift a quilt.

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 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 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.
