Every year, the Christmas tree in the Blue Room is a favorite attraction for
the tour goers. For Christmas 1993, in celebration of the year of the
American Craft, artisans from around the country were invited to
contribute ornaments for the Blue Room tree, using the theme of
angels. The tree skirt was hand-made by quilters from each of the 50
states and territories, and over 1,000 artists contributed to the
Christmas display.
