A New Deal for Quilts explores how the U.S. government drew on quilts and quilt-making, encouraging Americans to create quilts individually and collectively in response to unemployment, displacement, and recovery efforts. Quilters shared their perspectives on New Deal programs such as the Tennessee Valley Authority and the National Recovery Administration, which sent quilts as gifts to the Roosevelts and other officials. Federal programs used quilts' symbolic heft to communicate the values and behaviors individuals should embrace amid the Depression, perceiving the practical potential of crafts to lift morale and impart new skills. The government embraced quilts to demonstrate the efficacy of its programs, show women how they could contribute to their families' betterment, and generate empathy for impoverished Americans."-- $c University of Nebraska Press. 650 0 $a Quilts $x History $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Quilting $x History $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1933-1945 $v Exhibitions. 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. 710 2 $a International Quilt Museum, $e host institution. $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240314011551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6F93BE9EE1C811EE94D662C22BECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
