OTHER INFO: Whether we knit, crochet, quilt, or embroider all 26,750 of these square - through this social action, and from every corner of America; we as makers of all political persuasions, believe we can employ our willing spirit and our talents to contribute to healing divisions that threaten our country. This collection of textile squares will be first displayed at Phoenix Art museum, Spring 2021, before they are sent to the new 117th Congress in late 2021. ​
