Local newspapers documented examples of quilts sent to the White House now with unknown whereabouts. For example, Palm Beach Post published a short dispatch on a Poinsettia quilt with flower blossoms spelling “Florida” along with a matching bath mat made by the women of the Lakeland, Florida, WPA sewing room, referred to as a “work of art” by the local journalists.
