Horry County Museum Quilt Gala
Myrtle Beach, SC -
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 quilt Gala is not a judged or juried show, anyone can participate by entering a quilt. Applications to enter a quilt can be obtained at the Museum, through the mail, or the Museum’s website. Registration for the quilts is held at the Museum two weeks prior to the Gala. (All quilts are fully insured and secured while in our possession.)
Hosted by The Horry County Museum and held in 17,000 sq. ft. Ocean Lakes Family Campground Recreation Center. Our annual quilt gala has grown to be an event that show more than two hundred quilts and quilted items per year. Hourly demonstrations will be held on this fine craft. The event is co-sponsored by Grand Strand Quilters.

Quilt Gala - Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 16:38.
Two years ago I entered my first quilt in your quilt show. I understood that there would be several catagories for exibiting quilts, eg. "first quilts", original designs, etc.
When I brought my quilt, there were no catagories that I was made aware of except by size. The winning "best in show" was made from a kit that could be purchased for about $50 and included the fabrics. It was a moose head. Yes, it was lovely and well done, but did not take the talent or effort put into so many quilts on display for the show.
I am planning to bring a new quilt to display and hope to find more catagories that recognize the many talents and efforts of the people who make them.
Thank you for your consideration of my suggestion.
