content: Donor Notes: "Toilet set" (as described by the makers) made under the Community Action Program (one of the programs of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty) by Chippewa-Cree women who live on the Rocky Boy Reservation. Nadine Morsette, secretary of Chippewa-Cree Crafts, was the project head. Materials are old navy blue Army blankets, apparently purchased in surplus stores, all pieces with machine-appliqued felt flowers in bring pink, pale pink, yellow and green. Set consists of a toilet seat cover, a top-of-the-tank cover, a wrap-around tank cover, and a round rug, scalloped around its circumference with four layers of "petals" held in place with hand-sewn bright pink quilting tacks."
