At its regular meeting on April 29, the PA State Grange Executive Committee agreed to support a project urging the State Museum of Pennsylvania to publicly display the collection of 200 antique quilts which they have in their collection.
This project was started by Phyllis Shipman of Fayetteville and Peggy Armstrong of Chambersburg who approached the Grange about supporting the project in a meeting with the PA State Grange President Betsy Huber on April 7, 2009.
These ladies have been able to get a House Resolutions declaring March 21, 2009 as "Quilting Day in Pennsylvania " as well as House Resolution #137 to "Honor our rich heritage of quilt making in Pennsylvania reflecting with great pride on the contributions that quilt makers have made in their local communities."
