Remarkable Necktie Quilts


Ellen Holen made the quilt shown above during the Depression using her son's neckties.

The quilt top shown below was made by the members of "13th Street Studio" using silk scraps from a necktie factory. They made the top in one afternoon, then donated the finished quilt to a charity fundraiser. So beautiful.



This woven necktie quilt is the work of Renay Martin. Pretty clever!
