Not only do we have 2 cats, we have a very furry collie... I will second Penney's, usually their stuff is of good quality.

Luxurious & oh so retro. I also have picked up the colonial style & a chenille at garage sales. You might also check Salvation army stores as I've seen them there. The only thing with that colonial bedspread is it's very, very heavy (especially if you've just washed it & it's wet). Oh...and the marks it makes on your face if you take a nap!

I just checked and they don't have a lot of rib cords in their store right now, but they do have a cool vintage plaid bedspread and some chenilles: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Dale-Ray-Fabrics_Bedspreads_W0QQ_fsubZ239981QQ_sidZ141609181QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 I've bought a lot of fabric and notions from these folks over the years, and they're great to deal with.

I bought one a few years ago for around $50 and was very happy with the quality of it. A selection of their chenilles: http://www.linensource.com/default.aspx?page=products&categoryid=34 For a nice clean midcentury look, I really like the rib cords. There's a seller on eBay who has a good selection of them (new old stock) they bought when the original Fieldcrest mills closed in North Carolina. I'll look them up and post their eBay store URL here. The LinenSource catalog has some very nice, simple chenille bedspreads at reasonable prices.

Whenever you would lie on it, it would make impressions on your skin. We used to call it 'bedspread disease'. Thanks for the memories!

That junk catalog Carol Wright I think it is, has some cute bedspread, some chenille ones too, in cheaper prices, I think that was the one I saw with a cute floral chenille one, I was surprised, some old style ones too, and I saw some simple pinch pleats too for cheap. Good for anyone on a budget! I think the site is carolwrightgifts.com I love all those bedspreads you featured!!
