We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Countless quilt designs made by our ancestors are still being made today. Join us on March 17th at 11 AM as Brenda Grampsas presents quilts from her collection of antique and vintage quilts with modern examples of those same designs. Quilt designs we love today were loved in by gone eras. Be inspired to make your own updated version of a quilt that our Grandmothers made so long ago.

Brenda 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.
