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... :-)
Sorry! Glad you caught it as that forced me to find an even better look at the pillows. Thanks.
Thanks for the update with the video! Beautiful collections!
I love the feel of the home and the pillows are just wonderful.
I agree. The house, although expensively decorated, seems like a home and the pillows are obviously tributes from friends.
