History
The Conway Quilt Guild was formed in January 2013, as a part of the Seniors Program with Horry County Parks & Recreation, which was led by the late Kim Parker. We started with only 9 members, 5 with limited sewing experience. We currently have over 70 members. Our guild is community serving, helping with several charitable endeavors. We meet once a month for a business meeting and also hold 2 additional sessions called Free Sews, each month. At a Free Sew, members work on whatever project they want…or we use the time to cut and make kits for Quilts, animal beds and more! Once a quarter we have a teaching session for all members to learn something new, make a small project to take home, or just a refresher course. These sessions are known as “University 101”! Our members take great pride in helping our community and we hope to continue this for many years to come.
