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.

Seven Questions To Ask a Framer
The NJNA Blog re-posted an article from the owner of Needle in a Haystack about questions to ask when you are looking for a framer. Cathe is very picky about the framing of her work so her list of things to think about when you start shopping for a framer for your precious needlework is worth serious consideration.
