My grandmother had them on the beds at her house. I hated them while I was growing up. While at a yard sale this past summer I found one and just seeing it made me cry. Needless to say I paid the $25 and it went home with me.

I have a chenille bedspread that I purchased in a cream color. When we were taking care of my mother in law at the end of her life, we had a live in to help her. The live in took the bedspread and bleached the heck out of it. After she was done, she very proudly told me that she had cleaned the bedspread and it was white again.
I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was supposed to be cream colored. Still have it, still love it.
