As the nation gears up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (the Semiquincentennial), you might be wondering how Americans celebrated the Bicentennial, or America’s 200th birthday in 1976? Many did by sending patriotic gifts to the White House!

From 1975 through 1976, President Gerald R. Ford received a deluge of gifts (as many as fifty a day) from individual citizens, companies, Native American nations, Girl Scout troops and other organizations, intended to commemorate and celebrate the Bicentennial. The range of gifts were, in the words of White House staff, “as wide as imagination will permit,” including numerous quilts, commemorative coins and plates, red, white, and blue clothing items, sculptures of eagles, patriotic dog collars, and a pipe in the shape of the Liberty Bell. President Ford treated them not as personal gifts but rather as gifts to the nation. On February 2, 1976, White House staff assembled several hundred of the gifts in the State Dining Room for President Ford to view, while reporters captured the moment. Afterwards, the gifts were put on public display in the Commerce Building, then sent to the National Archives. Today, they are part of the collection at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum.

There’s nothing better than a new hat.

Your logo would look so good on a Richardson 258.

Fun fact about me: I have had a lifelong obsession with the Statue of Liberty. My mom had to stop putting me in time out because I would wrap the curtains around my body and hold a book in one hand while I would proudly puff out my chest, lift my chin and raise my hairbrush as high up into the air as possible. In my little mind she had the best job ever, she got to welcome people into America. I wholeheartedly wanted to be the Statue of Liberty when I grew up. Five, that’s how old I was when I realized she’s a statue not an occupation, and I have been disappointed in that reality ever since. Hey, we’ve all got quirks, this one is the least of mine.

As a quilter I make a lot of quilts for others. Today, I was given one that was made for me!
How amazing is this?
My sweet daughter made it for me! She’s a new quilter, but she caught on quickly.
