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 Trail | Shiner, Texas, "Spring Into Quilting"

The excitement is building! People will be coming from distant places to the Shiner, Texas, 2009 Heritage Quilt Show!

There will be entries from Brenhem, Houston, Hallettsville, Yoakum, Moulton, Cuero, Belton, Seguin, and Mountain Home, as well as Shiner.

The unique Quilt Car will be on display.





Have you ever seen a "quilt car?" The Shiner Heritage Quilters have sewn a car cover made of many pieced quilt blocks that completely covers a car. I have included the picture. This car will also pull a small trailer that will be decorated with quilts and carry a manikin rocking in a chair and, of course, quilting as well!

The car will be parked in several locations in downtown Shiner to promote a quilt and needle art show on Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st, at the United Methodist Church Activity Center, 102 W. Church St. (off Hwy 90A). There will be over 100 quilt and needle art items, vendors, quilting demonstrations, food and drink concession, and a very special Bible-themed entry section in each category.

March 21st is the first day of spring, March is International Quilting month, and March 21st is National Quilting Day. Shiner is celebrating it all!

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.

Shiner Heritage Quilt Show 2009 | Antique Friendship Quilt

These pictures are from an antique friendship quilt that will be in a special display at the Shiner Heritage Quilt Show 2009.

The names are of community leaders during the early and middle 1900's. Because all are now deceased, it is quite a special quilt. The embroidered and appliquéd block also depicts hand work methods of the early 1900's.

Join us on March 20 - 21. We'll all have a great time!

2009 Shiner, Texas, Quilting Show | The Scissor Guy

Well, I spoke directly to The Scissor Guy, Hayward Erwin, and he said he sharpens a lot of things other than all manner of scissors.

• Pinking Shears
• Knives - all kinds
• Some yard & lawn implements, such as hedge clippers, etc.

Unfortunately, he doesn't do chain saws. But I suppose they aren't used much in the sewing, quilting, curtain, or upholstery businesses ... at least not in their manufacture.[weak grin]

Anyway, he will be there all day long on both days of the Shiner Heritage 2009 Quilt Show,“Spring Into Quilting,” March 20-21, so bring anything you've got that needs a sharp edge.

By the way, he says he is able to get everything done during the shows, but will mail any back to you, if he isn't able to handle the work load, so don't worry about overloading Hayward.
