Wilene Smith (Wichita, Kansas) wrote to me that Cuesta also is listed in the Who's Who of American Women, Who's Who in the Midwest, and Who's Who in the World; that her biography was published in two parts in the January and March 1984 issues (#'s 23 & 24) of Quilter's Journal; and that two of her many articles include: "The 20th Century's First Quilt Revival," Parts 1-3, QNM, 114-116 (Jul-Aug, Sep, Oct 1979); and "Storrowton Village--Home of the First National Quilt Show," QNM, 195 (Sep 1987).

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has an online memorial book about Cuesta which viewers can read and/or post a message:
