Jeanetta Holder with Her Indianapolis 500 Quilt Made for Bobby Unser, 1975-1980

Jeanetta Holder combined her sewing talents with her love of auto racing in 1976 when she created an Indianapolis 500-themed quilt for that year's race winner, Johnny Rutherford. Holder's quilts, covered with embroidered reproductions of autographs she collected over the years, became an Indy tradition. She made this quilt for Bobby Unser in 1981 after his third and final Indy 500 victory.
