Included in the auction of Ronald and Nancy's Reagan's home contents is this needlepoint pillow, a gift to the President. Many thanks to Jo for posting about this on Facebook.

UPDATE: I changed the link which was the wrong one and substituted a video of the interior of the President's home in Bel Air. There are many needlepoint pillows to be glimpsed although the ones you get a good look at are all tent stitched mementos stitched by their friends. They are very personal and obviously stitched with love and friendship.
UPDATE #2: A bit of background on the "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" pillow.

The link isn't working. It takes you to someone else's FB entry. Maybe it's just my PC... :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry! Glad you caught it as that forced me to find an even better look at the pillows. Thanks.
DeleteThanks for the update with the video! Beautiful collections!
ReplyDeleteI love the feel of the home and the pillows are just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The house, although expensively decorated, seems like a home and the pillows are obviously tributes from friends.
