VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR DOROTHY BROWN GLOVER FOR THE ENDURING AND ARTISTIC DESIGNS OF HER TRADITIONAL QUILTS AND TO CONGRATULATE HER UPON RECEIVING THE SOUTH CAROLINA ARTS COMMISSION'S 2019 FOLK HERITAGE AWARD.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were delighted to learn that Dorothy Brown Glover is a recipient of the 2019 Folk Heritage Award for quilting from the South Carolina Arts Commission; and
Whereas, a resident of Lincolnville, Ms. Glover was born in 1925 and is well-known for her distinctive use of traditional quilt-design elements and patterns from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; and
Whereas, she creates exquisite quilt tops incorporating improvisational design methods that were popular among quilters whose social and economic status did not allow for the purchase of store-bought fabric for use in quilt making; and
Whereas, gracefully and intuitively transforming her thoughts and visions onto fabric, Ms. Glover encourages other quilters, regardless of their skill level, to experiment with patterns, colors, and designs; and
Whereas, with all who want to learn the timeless art of quilting, she generously shares her knowledge, and she makes herself available to younger artists when they seek to learn from her experience and guidance; and
Whereas, cognizant of the loss of so many rich traditions native to the Palmetto State, the members of the South Carolina Senate deeply appreciate the inspiration that Dorothy Glover has exhibited in her own work and has shared with nascent artists in order to promote the continuation of the art of quilting. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor Dorothy Brown Glover for the enduring and artistic designs of her traditional quilts and congratulate her upon receiving the South Carolina Arts Commission's 2019 Folk Heritage Award.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dorothy Brown Glover.
