Ms. Perez, Mr. Moran, Ms. Van Duyne.
Introduced in House and referred to Committee.
This resolution proposes creating an annual Congressional Quilt Show for ribbon-winning quilters. Quilts would be displayed outside congressional offices. Ms. Perez introduced this bill, supported by Mr. Moran and Ms. Van Duyne, and it is now under review by the Committee on House Administration.
Introduced Apr 9, 2026
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on April 9, 2026, and referred to the Committee on House Administration. This committee will review the resolution and may decide whether to advance it for a vote by the full House. If passed by the House, it would serve as an official expression of House sentiment.
If this resolution passes, quilters who have won ribbons at county fairs or similar events could submit their work for a lottery to be displayed in the U.S. House of Representatives. This would provide national recognition for individual quilters and highlight the historical and cultural significance of quilting in America. The displays would be administered by the Architect of the Capitol, making the craft visible to members of Congress and visitors.
