I think she meant the dust it may have tended to accumulate. So wherever there was chenille, there was mom removing said bedspread and wrinkling her nose. Personally, it never did anything to offend me, and I kinda like it. Especially your scrappy quilt of chenille. That's very pretty.<br /><br />So, I moused over the word "freezing" that you had put in bold, thinking there might be a link to a dreary day at the beach or something...you know, mid-40s as far as temperature goes. Then I was going to rib you about what "real" freezing is, i.e., the kind that makes icicles. But never mind. I'll take your word for it. Cold is cold. And it was back in the mid-50s here the past few days and yours truly was bundled up in the house like Laura Ingalls in "The Long Winter." It's all relative.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-38413982962749909282012-06-02T03:54:39.899+09:302012-06-02T03:54:39.899+09:30I love your chenille quilts.

Right up until 1974, when it was out with the chenille and in with the fluffy lime faux fur bedspread. (My mother was nothing if not modern! We had cream shag pile carpet too. She had a box of "Home Beautiful" magazines that I used to love to trawl through.)<br /><br />Oh. And please inform Mr P. that therapeutic help is not necessary for such a condition. It IS the therapy we all so desperately need! Tell me you don't feel better just looking at that pile of chenille? Therapy would cost oh-so-much more! See, it's like therapy, but cheaper! (Lol! He doesn't know when he's on a good thing!)<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend Shay!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611233587655427186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-71425158219579554962012-06-01T11:31:30.472+09:302012-06-01T11:31:30.472+09:30I was deprived as a child and never had a chenille...I was deprived as a child and never had a chenille anything .. love your chenille blankets/quilts.
