Artist Talk – Tina Harr: Every Quilt has a Story

A quilt on a bed shows simple line drawings of a woman in a hoop skirt and bonnet with a parasol.

We’re celebrating textiles throughout the month of March at the Horry County Museum! Join us March 4 at 11 a.m. as local quilter Tina Harr shares the stories behind a variety of quilts.
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 ’70s, rotary cutters, thick plastic templates, etc.
