Re: Bedspreads

With all the different heights of mattresses anymore, it is difficult to find the right drop length for dust ruffles / bed skirts and bedspreads.

This spring I decided I had had enough of pulling and pushing the bed skirt so it would hang evenly to the floor:

had DH move the mattress so I could baste a seam down the center of the bed skirt sheeting. No more fussing.

As for the appropriate length of the bedspread, I searched Amazon putting in “ extra wide “ bedspread. ( if you put in extra large, you won’t get what you are looking for ).

For approx. $ 45 I got a microfiber / cotton combination that is perfect: lightweight and good looking.

Being a perfectionist, I rolled up one side’s hem three rolls and pinned it every 7 inches, and sewed it. Took about an hour but it looks great and there’s no more fussing when it is time to make the bed.

Point: The only sewing I usually do is to sew on buttons because I hate it so much. The effort it took for the spread was very much worth it !

I am looking into finding a chenille spread . I have a really good mattress with a great mattress pad and a few really wonderful, comfy sheets sets, but am tired of comforters or quilts. Not going to pay a ton of money for it tho. I love chenille anyway. guess I'll start checking out Wayfair, or Zulily or even Amazon and maybe Ebay-----and I would buy a used one if it were in great shape--maybe even check the thrift stores too.

I'm using Soft & Cozy blanket from HSN. Lightweight but warm enough. I'm keeping one down comforter (didn't even use last winter), everything else is Sort & Cozy.

there is none on HSN at this time.
