The Horry County Museum will host a free quilt turning featuring wall hangings and large quilts by local quilter Tina Harr. Tina’s talk will be held at the Horry County Museum (805 Main Street, Conway, SC) on Tuesday, March 9^th at 1 PM.

A native of the Hudson Valley in New York, Tina Harr is proud to call Conway her home for over 10 years. Her first sewing experience was with her grandmother making 9 patch blocks the old fashioned way: marking the fabric with a pen and square cut from a cereal box and doing all the cutting with scissors. The quilts they made were tied and a bedsheet was the backing material.

In 2000, Tina joined a quilt group in NY and learned about all the innovations that had happened since the early ’70’s, rotary cutters, thick plastic templates……etc.  Being part of the Serendipity Stitchers was something she missed when she first moved to Conway, and when her friend Patsy Ray told her about the Conway Quilters she joined them in their second year. The things Tina loves most about the group are their charitable endeavors and being part of the Quilts of Valor program.

This program is free to the public. For more information, call 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org. To view a full list of programs, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.
