The Scissor Guy | Shiner Quilting Show And Exhibit

Hayward Erwin has accepted the title of "The Scissor Guy." He said so many people referred to him this way, he simply found it easier to answer to that name than anything else.


Hayward Erwin, The Scissor Guy, Sharpens Scissors And Tools At Shiner, Texas, Quilt Show.


Erwin goes to quilt shows around the country sharpening scissors. However, he doesn't limit himself to scissors. He encourages people to bring anything that needs sharpening: pinking shears, knives of all types, and some lawn & garden tools, such as hedge clippers.

Nope, no chain saws. ... But if enough people ask ...

Bring all your scissors and anything that needs an edge to the 2009 Shiner Quilt Show, March 20 and 21.

2009 Texas Quilt Show & Summer Youth Quiltmaking Project in Shiner, TX

The Shiner Heritage Quilters who are sponsoring the 2009 Spring Into Quilting Show have a very successful and active program of quiltmaking classes for the youth of the area in the Shiner Public Library.

Here are some pictures from the 2008 classes.






The Guild provides all fabric and instructions free of charge. It is our way reaching the community's youth and encouraging appreciation and understanding of quiltmaking. We teach the classes at the Shiner Public Library for four days in July. Students complete a quilted wall hanging. The Guild members provide instruction and "tlc". The pictures were taken at the close of the classes when parents were invited to a little closing ceremony and reception at the library.

For more information about the March 2009 Quilting Show in Shiner, Texas, or the Summer Youth Quiltmaking Classes contact Irene Cerny - igcerny@gvec.net, or 361-594-3185.
