Kathleen Armel: The Five Oldest Quilt Blocks

Wednesday, March 20, 2024 - 11:00am

We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Stop by to hear from local quilters on a range of topics. In addition to the free programming, you’ll have a chance to win a door prize at every event! Join us Wednesday, March 20th at 11 AM as local quilter Kathleen Armel presents the history behind some of the oldest known quilt blocks. Many of these blocks have been used in quilts over the years and are still found in modern sampler quilts today. Kathleen’s quilt journey mirrors all the moves she and her husband made while she was employed by JC Penney, and ending here in Conway, with Belk. Starting in West Virginia, and moving through Indiana/Kentucky, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Armel’s progress in quilting grew with every move, and each quilt made has a story. Kathleen considers herself a traditionalist, as she favors simple blocks and basic colors. At last count, Armel’s home has over 74 quilts in it! Almost every room has a quilt or more. Kathleen is also one of the founding members of the Conway Quilt Guild, which was started in 2013 by the late Kim Parker of Horry County Parks & Recreation Seniors Program. She is thrilled to see the group grow from 9 members to over 70 these past 9 years and feels that her piecing and quilting has grown even more with the sharing of knowledge this group shares! 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 hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.

Clint Black

Friday, March 22, 2024 - 7:00pm

Country icon Clint Black, one of the truest traditionalists in music over the last three decades, will celebrate the 35th anniversary of his debut album, Killin’ Time, on tour in 2024. For the first time ever, he’ll play the groundbreaking record live start to finish followed by more of his legendary hits. A true triple threat singer/guitarist/songwriter, Black has sold more than twenty million records, written and recorded twenty-two #1 singles, and has been awarded nearly two-dozen gold and platinum awards, a GRAMMY, and numerous CMA, ACM and American Music Awards. He’s a member of the Grand Ole Opry and has been honored with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Nashville Walk of Fame. His musical style encompasses traditional country, honky-tonk and Western swing. From the beginning, Black’s biggest influences were Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and especially Merle Haggard, to whom his smooth baritone voice was initially compared. One-fourth of country music’s storied Class of 1989, Clint Black’s meteoric rise began with Killin’ Time, which produced five consecutive number one singles on the Billboard Hot Country charts. His break-out success put Black on a fast track to super-stardom. Eventually, Black’s wide-spread appeal and his own creative curiosity lead him into the world of acting where he earned roles in dozens of TV shows, feature films, and his own talk show, Talking in Circles. Now, Black revisits the album that started it all, Killin’ Time – a special world tour in 2024. Clint Black will be live at The Carolina Opry Theater on Friday, March 22, 2024 at 7:00pm. Tickets are on sale now.
