SUMMARY:When Rice Was King.
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with When Rice Was King. Part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV\, this film tells the story of how rice became a major cash crop in South Carolina. The cultivation of rice in South Carolina began in the late 1600s. By the time of the American Revolution\, it had created the largest concentration of wealth in the American colonies. The knowledge and labor of slaves from Africa’s Windward Coast were major factors in the making of this wealth. However\, South Carolina’s rice culture experienced heavy tolls due to the Civil War\, emancipation and hurricanes. Its passing\, along with that of the grand cotton plantations\, ended a way of life. The economic and social impact of the state’s rice culture created a legacy that remains today. \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, March 2nd\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2022. For a list of films\, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org. For more information\, call the Horry County Museum at 843-915-5320 or e-mail hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.

SUMMARY:Mini Trunk Show by Jerre Reese
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum will host a ‘Mini Trunk Show’ by local quilter Jerre Reese. Join us to view just a few of her miniature quilts and learn how she makes them.

At first she did everything by hand but\, as machine work became more acceptable\, she switched to machine work.  Also\, because she wanted to finish more than two quilts per year! \nShe has taken classes with many big-name quilt teachers over the years and has tried just about every quilting technique there is. Her quilts have won ribbons in numerous shows and three have been published in various publications. She also had five quilts juried into the prestigious American Quilter’s Society shows.

Those interested in helping Myrtle Beach Shorebirds make quilts can contact Kathleen Williams at memawssewing@gmail.com. \nThe mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation (QOVF) is to cover all service members and veterans\, touched by war\, with a comforting and healing quilt. In 2003\, Catherine Roberts\, the founder of the QOVF\, had a son deployed to Iraq. She struggled with how to stay busy and keep her mind busy while he was in harm’s way. As a nurse and quilter\, Roberts decided she would make and send quilts to Kandahar. Each stretcher that had a wounded veteran got a red\, white and blue quilt placed on their stretcher. After six years\, the foundation decided to award a quilt to any veteran who served during wartime era\, from WWII to present. Since 2003\, the foundation\, now a national organization\, has awarded over 267\,000 quilts. \nTo view a full list of programs at the Museum\, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.

Some techniques include basic dyeing\, cross dyeing\, resists\, shibori\, ice dyeing\, painting dye\, parfait dyeing\, and uses for your hand dyed fabric. She will also bring some of her quilts that she made from her dyed fabrics and show examples of printing on dyed fabrics. \nJudy Lyons has a degree in Textiles from RIT\, School for American Craftsmen. There she learned to weave\, spin\, and dye anything and everything fiber related. While raising three kids in Maryland\, she started her first business\, Sunflower Hill Dyers in 1998. Her hand dyed fabrics were sold at quilt shows up and down the East Coast as well as Houston\, TX. But life\, and three kids playing competitive hockey\, got in the way and she had to close the business. She also taught Quilt in a Day and dyeing classes for the county’s continuing education program. In 2015\, Lyons and her husband retired to South Carolina and she finally had time to put into her dyeing again. Dyeing for Happy Hour was created and she started with hand dyed clothing. Then\, she started fabric dyeing again and has sold her hand dyed fabrics at quilt shows in the area. Lyons has also hosted weekend Dye Camps that teach many facets of dyeing. Her quilt kits are also sold on her Etsy shop under Dyeing for Happy Hour. Lyons also makes art quilts and enjoys fabric printing on gel plates and mixed media pieces. \nThe program will be held at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC. This event is free and open to the public. For more information\, call 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.

SUMMARY:Featured Quilter Kathleen Armel
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us Tuesday\, March 22nd at 11 AM as local quilter Kathleen Armel shares quilts from her personal collection. Kathleen has been married for 45 years\, and has been piecing and quilting for 44 of those years! Her college roommate\, Brenda\, introduced her to quilting in October of 1977 when she took Armel to her favorite quilt shop\, The Quilt Patch\, in Fairfax City\, Va. \nKathleen’s quilt journey mirrors all the moves she and her husband made while she was employed by JC Penney\, and ending here in Conway\, with Belk. Starting in West Virginia\, and moving through Indiana/Kentucky\, New Hampshire\, Massachusetts\, Maine\, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Armel’s progress in quilting grew with every move\, and each quilt made has a story. Kathleen considers herself a traditionalist\, as she favors simple blocks and basic colors.

Almost every room has a quilt or more. \nKathleen is also one of the founding members of the Conway Quilt Guild\, which was started in 2013 by the late Kim Parker of Horry County Parks & Recreation Seniors Program. She is thrilled to see the group grow from 9 members to over 70 these past 9 years and feels that her piecing and quilting has grown even more with the sharing of knowledge this group shares! \nThe program will be held at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC.

SUMMARY:Featured Quilter: Kay Rutherford
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us Wednesday\, March 23rd at 10 AM as local quilter Kay Rutherford shares a variety of rag quilts\, long arm\, and hand and machine embroidered quilts from her personal collection. She will also feature several quilts hand quilted by her mother. \nKay Rutherford’s quilting history began twenty years ago when the women at the hospital she had retired from were making totes and pillows for cancer patients. Kay decided to join the group. Her first quilt didn’t quite turn out as expected when the person who quilted it used large roses in his quilting. Rutherford was so upset with the quilt that she donated it to Goodwill. Kay then started taking classes at a quilting shop in Chillicothe\, Ohio. This led her to joining a quilt group at home in West Virginia. Kay joined the Conway Quilters whenever she and her husband moved to South Carolina permanently three years ago. \nThe program will be held at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC. This event is free and open to the public. For more information\, call 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.

SUMMARY:Warm\, Fuzzy Quilts of Childhood
DESCRIPTION: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?”  One of the reasons baby showers are so fun is the wonderful gift items we all ooh and ah over. Baby & children’s quilts often give us a warm\, fuzzy feeling and this trunk show features many vintage/antique quilts and coverlets from Brenda’s personal collection that do just that. Join us on March 24th at 1 PM for a trip down memory lane. You may be inspired to make your next baby or child’s gift a quilt. \nBrenda Grampsas is an American Quilters Society Quilt Appraiser\, certified in 2005.  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. \nThe program will begin at 1:00 PM at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC.
