I looked at some in the Vermont Country Store cataloge yesterday and seriously considered buying one. We had one on our bed for five years when we first got married and I loved it.

Yes I do. Have one on my bed right now. "Blairs" has a selection resonably priced.

I like them. I saw a big teddy bear made of an old one at a craft fair once. Now that was cute!!

thank you so much Susan :)

Chenille is quite messy to work with - but well worth the mess.

My children used to take naps on Grandmas spread. Then thier cheeks were marked with lines. I have a new brown and white on my king size bed now. Penneys have them in the catalog. Had to have it dampened and dryed at the cleaners. I could not and would not put it in my dryer! I do love how it looks!
