Jerre Reese: Quilts with a Sense of Humor
2021-03-18 13:00 UTC | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The Horry County Museum will host a program on Quilts with a Sense of Humor by local quilter Jerre Reese. From holidays to animals, join us for a light-hearted trunk show of amusing quilts made by Jerre. Jerre’s talk will be held at the Horry County Museum (805 Main Street, Conway, SC) on Thursday, March 18th at 1 pm.
Jerre Reese grew up in Detroit, MI and began sewing at around ten years old. She began quilting about 42 years ago and has been doing it ever since. 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!
She 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. Reese loves quilting and enjoys sharing the knowledge she’s picked up along the way with others.
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.

The 2021 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Chicken Bog: The Chicken Bog King of the Pee Dee.
In Latta, South Carolina in the historic Pee Dee region, a southern stew tradition that served the appetites of rural families located in the swamp communities of Lowcountry South Carolina, is maintained by the Mayor of Latta who has long held the mantle of “Chicken Bog King of the Pee Dee”. Filmmaker Stan Woodward follows him as he and his crew prepare a chicken bog (chicken, rice and secret ingredients only known to the stewmaster) for serving at a stump meeting rally for a local US Congressman running for re-election. Such stews are used in conjunction with political rallies in this part of the state, with the chicken bog tradition tracing back to the late 1800s and the democratic stump meeting held annually at Gallivants Ferry, SC.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, March 17th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

Featured Quilter-Deanna Holter
2021-03-17 11:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
Join us Wednesday, March 17th at 11 AM as we continue our celebration of textiles with local quilter Deanna Holter. Deanna will share her experience quilting and show off pieces that she has made.
Deanna Holter started her quilting career around 1982 with Eleanor Burns and Quilt in a Day. In that program, quilters didn’t use long arm quilts, but instead sewed an ‘x’ from corner to corner. She has since altered her original piece and quilts on her long arm machine. After her first piece, Deanna didn’t make any more quilts until moving to South Carolina in 2005. She found a cute pattern and went to town making quilts for each of her sister in laws. Those quilts got her started on a quilting journey in which she connected with the Grand Strand Quilters. There she met Joan Wobbleton and began volunteering to make Quilts of Valor quilts. Wanting to be a part of a more close knit guild, Deanna joined the Conway Quilt Guild. Deanna feels very grateful to be part of a group of who she calls wonderful and caring ladies that have also been involved in many ceremonies to present quilts to veterans in the Conway area.
The program will begin at 11 AM 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. To view a full list of programs, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.

Kathleen Stuart: Wholecloth Quilts
2021-03-10 10:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The Horry County Museum will host a free program by quilter Kathleen Stuart on March 10th on Wholecloth Quilts. When it comes to “traditional” quilts, Kathy prefers to make wholecloth quilts using the traditional medallion style, however, she likes to use luxe fabrics such as silk dupioni or sateen and often incorporates machine embroidery. Kathy also likes to use fabric paints on her wholecloth quilts and Swarovski crystals.
Originally from Regina, Saskatchewan, Kathy now lives in North Carolina so that she can enjoy the warmer weather. She has been interested in every aspect of fiber since the age of four, having tried almost every technique including knitting, crochet, needlepoint, tatting, macramé and quilting, although she didn’t begin to quilt until 2001.
Kathy began to compete in quilt shows and found that her style of quilting didn’t fit into any of the categories….people just don’t do wholecloth anymore. Because of this her work was put into the “other” category, which she realized was a good thing. It has allowed her to try new things and stretch the idea of what a wholecloth quilt can be by adding more paint and beading, while still maintaining the traditional aspects of this type of quilt.
Kathy has won many awards for her work including Best of Show for her machine quilting at Machine Quilters Showcase. Her work has been featured in magazines, newspapers and video presentations, one of which was a vidcast by B. McCaffery of the Houston Quilt Show. At the Asheville Quilt Show, she was asked to do a short video for the series “Go Tell It At The Quilt Show” for the Quilt Alliance, a group that documents, preserves and shares the stories of quilters and their quilts.
The program will begin at 10:00 am 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. To view a full list of programs, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.

Tina Harr-Wrapped up in Quilting
2021-03-09 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
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 9th 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.

Museum Matinee: Carolina Hash
2021-02-24 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The 2021 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the documentary, Carolina Hash: A South Carolina Folk Heritage Tradition. Hash is only cooked primarily in South Carolina. If you travel across the border into NC or Georgia, you find that few have ever heard of hash. Filmmaker Stan Woodward discovered this anomaly while researching the difference between Brunswick stews cooked regionally. He gathered footage while shooting the Brunswick stew documentaries that led to this unusual film. Updated with new content that answered questions about the unusual place that mustard had in the barbecue sauce and hash ingredients found in the midlands of South Carolina, the story of has was enhanced to include the records of French Huguenot writers who wrote of “hashiers”, which was cooked in Carolina Rice Kitchens by African American artisan cooks who were given poor parts of the hog and told to make an edible concoction that provided a high-protein content for slaves working in the scorching heat. We learn that Hash-cooking migrated inland from plantations to small farms and became commonplace-along with puddin’ and liver mush-as a byproduct foodway cooked as part of the hog-killing that took place in the winter months. Hash today is a common side-dish eaten over rice along with barbecue in South Carolina.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, February 24th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2021. For a full 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.
