More About Diane Moro: Vintage Quilts
We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us March 28th at 1:00 PM for a presentation by local quilter Diane Moro as she shares the stories behind vintage quilts from her personal collection.
Diane grew up on a farm and ranch in Northwest Kansas and made her first quilt at the age of seven. She was surrounded by people who quilted and prints were often ordered from Montgomery Ward catalogs that would be ironed on to the quilt top and embroidered. Aunts, cousins, and neighbors would then come together to hand quilt around the quilting frame. One of Diane’s vintage quilts includes a “State Quilt” made in the 1940s. The quilt features the state birds and flowers of the 48 states in the Union at the time.
The 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. To view a full list of programs, visit our website at Click for Details.

More About Horry County Museum
The Horry County Museum was established in 1979 and opened its doors to the public in 1981. The Museum focuses on the history, pre-history, and natural history of Horry County, S.C., and educates the public about these subjects through exhibits, outreach programs, and events. In 2009, the Museum opened the L. W. Paul Living History Farm. The Farm is a re-creation of life on a one horse family farm between the years of 1900-1955. Visitors to the farm can experience what life was like in a farm community during those years and attend quarterly events at the Farm. In 2014, the Museum moved into the renovated 1905 Burroughs School. The school is on the National Register of Historic Places. The move includes increased exhibits, a freshwater aquarium featured on Animal Planet’s hit reality show “Tanked”, and a 600 seat auditorium that hosts public presentations and programs.
