The Palmetto State

Welcome to South Carolina!

Beginning around the 17^th century, European women of some affluence brought quilting to the United States and the Carolina’s. At that time the fabrics used in making quilts (chintz and broderie perse) were imported and quite expensive. Plus, the wealthy women of the age had plenty of time on their hands. In fact, quilting was used to show off their wealth.*

One quilting technique made popular in Charleston during the early days was English style paper piecing or ‘mosaic patchwork.’ Many of these quilts have survived even to today.

South Carolina is a not so hidden gem waiting for your visit!

Some points of interest not to be missed:

• Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail – Over 140 Barn quilts spread throughout Anderson, Oconee, Pickens and Greenville Counties.
• The Charleston Museum – one of the largest Quilt collections in the Southeast!
• McKissick Museum in Columbia

get ready to shop hop!

There are several ways (and excuses) to visit these awesome quilt shops. Many of them participate in the Row by Row Experience, now known as the Quilters Trek. You can learn more, and plan your trip by visiting their website HERE.

Also, several South Carolina Quilt Shops participate in the annual Carolina Shop Hop. You can find all the details about this years events and participating shops on their website.
