Throwback Thursday: Holen Tie Quilt
We’re back with more #ThrowbackThursday!
This 6″ x 4″ color photograph is a close-up of the center of a quilt made out of neckties. The ties are arranged in several concentric circles. “This is the Holen Boys Necktie Quilt” is embroidered on the center of the quilt. This tie quilt was made by members of the Holen family and was part of a traveling display arranged by the Smithsonian Institution.
This image is published by the Holdrege Area Public Library and owned by the Phelps County Historical Society who partnered together to digitize a collection of images portraying the history of Phelps County since the mid 1880’s.
See this collection and many more on the Nebraska Memories archive!
The Nebraska Memories archive is brought to you by the Nebraska Library Commission. If your institution is interested in participating in Nebraska Memories, see http://nlc.nebraska.gov/nebraskamemories/participation.aspx for more information.
