Key Points
- This resolution would create a new yearly event called the Congressional Quilt Show. It aims to celebrate the history and skill of American quilters who have been making quilts for more than 250 years.
- Each year, a lottery would pick quilts from every congressional district to be sent to Washington. To be eligible, a quilter must have already won a ribbon at a county fair or received a similar award in their home district.
- The chosen quilts would be displayed in the hallways outside of the offices of members of the House of Representatives. The Architect of the Capitol would be responsible for setting up and looking after these displays.
- Supporters say this program will help people appreciate the hard work and artistic skill that goes into quilting. It is also meant to build a sense of community and pride in local crafts across the country.
