Thanks to Judy B's mention on Facebook, I learned that Lauren Bacall's things were auctioned off by Bonham's in London March 31st. You can glimpse a needlepoint pillow and rug here.

I rummaged through the auction catalogue and found several antiques.

There are pillows, too. They sold for $1500 USD as one lot. I don't think these were things she stitched else I think that would be noted as provenance. The rest of the auction is for art, furnishings, knickknacks, a few dresses and simple jewelry. All classics, but not needlepoint.
