I love the pictures, the quilts look lovely...then I see a bottle of BBQ sauce on the table and I think of my family and the potential and probable spills. I'm sure it was a wonderful and uneventful"spill day"

Clara is sitting at the table with my husband Martha I think is a reference to the domestic goddess Miss Martha Stewart

I've used quilts on tables and then put the clear vinyl on the top. I was confident that the quilts wouldn't be damaged, as were those enjoying the meal.

How cheerful and inviting! Good for you! I make things to be used not stashed away in acid free tissue. There are so many products out there now-a-days for stain removal that are really good. My first plan of attack is always good ol' hydrogen peroxide.

I have sprayed my cross-stitch Christmas cloths with Scotch-Guard for years and wash them soon after the meal is completed and have had no stains set in. I imagine it could be used on quilts as well. I made a quilted tablecloth for my mother and it has survived years of washing.

Beautiful setting. I use quilts on my dining table all of the time. I imagine if anything gets spilled you can get the stains out just as you do on anything else.

Beautiful! I'm like so many others...would have had to put plastic on top in case of spills! Love the setting!
