The Horry County Museum hosted the first annual quilt gala in 1994 on the lawn
of the old County Courthouse with 40 beautiful quilts waving in the breeze. The
event has grown into a two day show exhibiting nearly 200 quilts and quilted
items. The show also has a Merchant Marketplace with lots of quilting notions,
fabrics and supplies for sale. The gala is held in the 17,000 sq. ft.
