Tablecloths, a bedspread, and a quilt
Suzanne over at ColoradoLady hosts Vintage Thingie Thursday. Well it's still Thursday
I have an heirloom, a thrift store find, a yard sale steal, and an auction "no one else wanted it". My co-hosts today are Stitch a 4 month old tabby and Cowboy one of my 5 year old dachshunds.
First is the heirloom. I have it. It is crotchet. It is a tablecloth. Probably 75 years old?? And the photo does not do it justice. That's all I know. Wish I had known who to ask before they were all gone!!
The yard sale find is graciously shown by Stitch. The lady said it belonged to HER great-grandmother. I paid 5 bucks! It is a tablecloth.
I like the edging/border on this one.
I was told at the thrift store that this white one was a tablecloth. When I got it home an
d spread it out (the store was very dirty), I find that it is a bedspread. Why else would one short end not have the fringe that is around t
he other three? I still like it. Not sure it was the best buy but I can't make it for twenty dollars.
Cowboy and my pearls I won over at ReadingRosie's is showing the quilt that my hubby found at the auction. It is stitched over another quilt using woolens from suits and such. The embroidery is a not so great herringbone. Primitive but I love it!

wow a 75 years old tablecloth? gosh.. that is awesome! looks pretty.. anyway you got beautiful tableclothes here.. have a great day!
What great finds...and I did not know you won those great pearls from Rosie!! Way to go...Cowboy is a good model. Love your tablecloth and quilt. Have a great VTT!
Lovely collection!
Happy VTT!
Lovely pieces. I wouldn't be disappointed that the last piece was a bedspread and not a table cloth.
I really like that bedspread, and I think $20 was a very low price to pay for such intricate work and vintage, too!
I like the "models" you have helping you show off your vintage treaures!
Oh, you did better than great with all your buys. The tablecloth is just beautiful...if fact all your things are beautiful. Love that bedspread. Happy belated VTT..have a great weekend.
I have this thing for table cloths. Once I went ga-ga over this white Irish lace (I think crocheted) table cloth on eBay. I was so taken by it I did not notice that I was paying in Irish money, not American. Kind of shocked me a bit as I saw it go through. But I love it. Your finds are beautiful!

very nice pieces especially the antique crochet tablecloth :)
My granny had cloths just like the first one you show, & I have one my my Mum gave me -maybe 50 yrs. ago! I had forgotten it!
Great finds Ruby! I love those crochet covers!
