The Landrum Quilters will sponsor a quilt roundup from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. during the Saturday, May 28 Home and Garden Stroll in downtown Landrum. The LQ tent will be set up in front of Elaine’s Attic at The Coach House, located at 227 E. Rutherford Street.

Residents are encouraged to bring their treasured quilts for pattern identification and pictures. They will also receive educational materials on how to care for their quilts and can make informational quilt labels. Flyers on the upcoming Landrum Quilt Show, June 9 – 11, and tickets for the 2011 fund-raiser quilt will also be available.

To promote the quilt show, scheduled every two years, a number of Landrum businesses are participating in a quilt stroll by displaying both vintage and contemporary quilts until June 13.

The Mail Room, First Citizens Bank, Body Sculpture, Expressions, Architectural Warehouse and stores on Trade Street will display quilts. East Rutherford Street businesses taking part are Treasures Old and New, PJ’s, American Design, Covington and Company, The Landrum Antique Mall, Elaine’s Attic and Foothills Amish Furniture. Market Antiques on Thrift Avenue, the Landrum Library, Landrum City Hall and Hospice of the Carolina Foothills will also exhibit quilts, most of which are provided by the Landrum Quilters.
