A Saturday morning search of African American newspapers from the 1930s uncovered a startling headline: "President Roosevelt Gets Present of Novel Quilt Designed By Indiana Woman." Who was this Hoosier quiltmaker? What inspired her to gift the President of the United States with a quilt? What was so "novel" about the bedcovering that Black newspapers across the country carried its story? Where is the celebrated quilt today? Follow the surprising pursuit from a WPA Sewing Room in Marion, Indiana to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC and even on to England and France. Quilter Kyra E. Hicks, who previously shared the true story of a young slave girl's fifty-year quest to see Queen Victoria and give her a quilt, now takes us on a Depression-era adventure featuring exquisite quilts made for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Bonus White House Quilt Block included.
