The Quilts of Holden

Guests arrive at Holden Village to find a welcoming quilt on the beds in their assigned rooms. Each of the beds here is covered with a quilt, and each of the quilts is unique.

Although there are a few exceptions in which a quilt is made by an individual, most of the Holden quilts are made by Lutheran churches and donated to the village. On most of the quilts, there will be a tag identifying the group that made and donated the finished bed covering.

Here are a few examples of the quilts of Holden. Enjoy.
