Candlewick Bedspreads

Anyone who appreciates antique or vintage style home d�cor will love the look of a candlewick bedspread. Even if the bedspread is not a genuine antique, the old fashioned appeal in its design can add a heartwarming touch to a vintage style bedroom. According to the antique auction marketplace Old and Sold, candlewick bedspreads originated well over 100 years ago in England and Scotland. The name evolved from the embroidery patterns which were constructed from the same coarse, white yarn used to make homemade candle wicks.

Where to Buy

You can buy new and vintage candlewick bedspreads online at the following places. The first two retailers listed offer new bedspreads that feature traditional candlewick designs. The last two stores are located on eBay and offer vintage or antique candlewick bedspreads.

• A Touch of Class - This upscale home d�cor retailer offers two styles of traditional candlewick bedspreads, the John Adams design and the Spirit of America design. Each bedspread features cotton embroidering with a large medallion in the center surrounded by other intricate designs and fringe around the edges.
• Linen Source - Here you can find two lovely candlewick bedspread designs in the store's chenille bedspread category. The first design, called Martha's Choice, is fashioned after the original design that George Washington chose for his bride. The second design, called New England Tradition, features floral vines that surround a star-shaped medallion and knotted fringe around the edges of the spread.
• Judy Chenilles Linens Boutique - This seller runs an eBay store and offers vintage candlewick bedspreads made in the early 20th century, during the 1920's and 1930's. Some of her bedspreads are listed as museum quality, so if you are interested in purchasing an antique bedspread, this is a good place to start.
• The Antique Linen Cupboard - This is another eBay store where you can often find vintage candlewick bedspreads from the United Kingdom. The seller ships worldwide - just remember to factor in the cost of shipping before you decide to bid on or buy one of these bedspreads.

Candlewick Patterns

One of the most common patterns in these bedspreads is a large central medallion surrounded by some other type of design, which is often geometric or floral. The American eagle was a common pattern seen in candlewick bedspreads during the colonial era in the U.S.

The oldest known patterns often depict the English and Scottish countryside, where this style of bedspread first originated. Some patterns are more free-flowing, with natural motifs such as flowers, vines, leaves, baskets, trees and birds. Patterns were sometimes handed down from mothers to daughters and given names that would aptly describe each motif. The edges of the bedspread are commonly finished with some type of decorative fringe.

The Embroidery Process

Before industrial machines were made that could produce this type of stitching, the embroidery on a candlewick bedspread involved painstaking hours of hand tuffting or knotting candlewick yarn on a muslin fabric. Colonial and French knots were used, as were stem, satin and straight stitches. The stitches are raised by using a small stick or similar tool to loop the yarn over while making each knot. The end result is an elegant, textured pattern that is either the same color as the base fabric or a slightly lighter color. Because of the time and talent it took to create the intricate patterns, candlewick bedspreads were often given as a wedding gift to the bride.

Other Resources for Antique Bedspreads

In addition to the eBay stores previously mentioned, other resources you can try to find antique candlewick bedspreads include Ruby Lane and Cynthia's Linen Closet. Pay careful attention to chenille style bedspreads with hand embroidery, as these types of bedspreads sometimes have the candlewick patterns, without being labeled as a candlewick bedspread. You may also find antique or vintage bedspreads at an estate sale.

Add a Touch of Elegance to Your Bedroom

It's easy to create an elegant look in your bedroom when you add a candlewick bedspread to the room's d�cor. You will need little else, if anything, on top of your bed because these classic bedspreads are true works of art.

Allergy-Free Bedding

If you don't suffer from allergies now, you may not think allergy-free bedding is something you need. However, if you actually knew what lives in your bedding, you may very well change your mind about whether or not these products are a good investment for your home.

How Allergey-Free Bedding Works

Bedding products designed to reduce allergens include casings, (which can cover mattresses, box springs, pillows and comforters) pillows, mattress pads, sheets, blankets and comforters made from fabrics that effectively block allergens from passing through the material. This is usually accomplished by very tightly woven fabrics that don't allow tiny matter (such as dust mites and pet dander) to pass through or fabrics that have a vinyl or urethane based coating on the inside (called a membrane) that also prevent matter from passing through. These fabrics can be made from cotton, organic cotton, polyester and cotton-polyester blends.

Membrane vs Non-Membrane Allergy Free Fabrics

When it comes to blocking allergens, both membrane and non-membrane allergy-free fabrics are effective. The best product will depend on a person's individual needs.

Allergy-free fabrics that contain a membrane may not be the best choice for those who sleep hot or have problems with night sweats. These types of fabrics tend to hold heat in. However, if you have a problem keeping warm at night or have incontinence issues, a membrane fabric would work well because it would help you retain heat and is also waterproof.

Allergens are measured in units called microns. The tiniest allergens are usually between nine and 15 microns. Therefore, non-membrane allergy-reduction fabrics must have a pore size of six microns or less. The pore size is the space between the threads, however, keep in mind that thread count has nothing to do with pore size. High thread count sheets do not qualify as effective allergen blocking bedding. Non-membrane allergy relief fabrics use an advanced technology in the weaving process. These fabrics tend to have a longer lifespan than membrane fabrics because the membrane breaks down over time and repeated washings. If you wash your bedding often and need cooler, more breathable bedding to sleep on, non-membrane allergy-reducing fabrics would work best for you.

Just remember when buying casings to cover bedding, always buy a zippered cover because fitted casings will not effectively block dust mites.

Natural Allergen-Reducing Bedding

There is one type of fabric that dust mites can't live on. That fabric is silk, an organic material excreted from silkworms. There are no known allergies to silk, making this material the only fabric that is 100 percent allergy free, regardless of the weave. However, if you use silk sheets, pillow cases and a silk comforter, you will still need to use a casing on your mattress.

Where to Find Allergy-Free Bedding Products

Visit the following online retailers to protect yourself from respiratory irritation and get a better night's sleep:

• AllergyGuard Direc: Here you can find both allergy and bedbug protective covers. Many of the allergy free bedding products available at AllergyGuard Direct were tested by Good Housekeeping and were recommended on the top 14 best anti-allergy bedding products list. Free shipping is offered on orders of $100 or more.
• Allergy Control Products: This retailer offers special pricing on allergy free dorm room bedding. You can also find pillow and mattress covers made with silk linings. Free shipping on orders of $150 or more.
• Allergy Solutions, Inc: This company carries four well-known brand name allergy free fabrics including Cotton Complete, Pristine, Solution Comfort Cotton and Softshield. Free shipping is offered on all online orders.

Causes of Indoor Allergies

Indoor allergies are caused by dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold and pollen. The main element in household dust is dead human skin cells, which each person sheds by hundreds of thousands every day. Small, microscopic creatures called dust mites feed on the abundance of dead human skin cells found in mattresses and bedding, which is where people spend most of their time while at home. The dust mites themselves produce even more allergens through their fecal matter, eggs, larvae and dead body parts.

None of this can be seen with the naked eye, it takes a powerful microscope to detect these undesirable elements lurking in mattresses, sheets, pillowcases, comforters and all other bedding. Washing sheets, pillowcases, comforters and blankets often can help cut down on allergens. However, mattresses cannot be washed and will transfer the allergens back to the rest of the bedding.

Take Preventative Action

Anyone can develop allergies, at any age. Symptoms for household allergies to dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold and pollen include congestion, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing and itchy or irritated eyes. Even if you don't have these symptoms yet, allergy-free bedding can be beneficial because it can help prevent allergy symptoms from developing.

Ed Hardy Bed Linens

About Ed Hardy

Tattoo artist Ed Hardy probably never expected that his workmanship would ever be regarded as a major trend in the worlds of men's and women's fashion. That's exactly what happened, though, when designer Christian Audigier assumed the rights to create a line of clothing and accessories featuring Hardy's unique Japanese tattoo designs. In addition to these, the line also includes a number of lifestyle products, such as computer accessories, barware, journals and bedding.

Types of Ed Hardy Bed Linens

From duvets and pillow shams to sheets and decorative pillows, the Ed Hardy bedding collection, created by Wholly Sheet, includes a little bit of something for everyone. The bedding company utilizes high-quality materials (like 300-thread count sateen and single-ply cotton) and uses digital printing to implement Hardy's work on the linens.

Whether you plan to redecorate the entire bedroom with a tattoo-inspired theme, or simply add a couple of pieces to an existing set-up to liven things up, you can count on finding something appropriate to suit your needs. Among the many items available are:

• Blankets: Soft and plush, Ed Hardy blankets are a great gift idea for anyone who loves the bold and hates the cold. They are made of polyester and acrylic blends for an ultra-soft texture, and are great for throwing over the bed or even the couch as a head-turning accent piece. Note that these are somewhat rarer, but not impossible to find.
• Duvets: Whether bold or subtle, there are a number of duvets available bearing Ed Hardy's edgy artwork. More understated designs feature dark color palettes with minimal embroidery, while adventurous pieces are wildly fearless in their use of opposing colors. Duvets are available in twin, full, queen, and king sizes, and are typically sold in sets with either one or two pillow shams.
• Euro shams: Measuring 26 by 26 inches, European pillows are large, overstuffed squares that a distinct element to any room. Slip an Ed Hardy sham over it and you can count on turning some heads! These pillows are perfect for dens and family rooms, too. Decorative shams like Hardy's can also prove to be great conversation starters. Look for striking prints and a few subtle ones, like multicolored trim around a solid colored center.
• Neck rolls: Slightly unusual but also very fun for the ardent Ed Hardy fan, neck rolls are designed to complement existing bedding collections by the designer. They feature long, lean shapes and are overstuffed for coziness. Available in a variety of prints and solid colors, these pillows also make great complements to simple bedroom d�cor thanks to their diminutive size.
• Pillowcases: Available in standard, queen and king sizes, the Ed Hardy pillowcase lineup is vast. Some styles speak to the darker side of the artist's work, featuring devilish color palettes and fierce art, while others are lighter and almost playful with their soft colors (think yellow and baby blue). Since pillowcases are fairly discreet and not generally visible, they also make a fine addition to an existing set-up, although they can certainly be shown off.
• Sheet sets: Ed Hardy sheet sets offer everything you need, including a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases. The sheet sets are packaged in large collector boxes that are etched with the artist's work along the edges. The sets feature fairly bold designs, although some are more demure than others - for example, you may choose to opt for a white sheet set with minimal tattoo artwork if you're going the more understated route.

What to Expect

Not familiar with Ed Hardy's work? Consider the bedding a crash course in all things wild and wonderful. The tattoo artist's workmanship features a host of mesmerizing prints, some of which may not be suitable for the very conservative. Look for Ed Hardy bed linens with:

• Bold pronouncements, like banners stating "Love Kills Slowly"
• Daring patterns, like sharp animal teeth and blazing fires
• Exotic animal prints and unexpected color combinations, like pink and green camouflage leopard spots
• Mermaids posing seductively atop vibrant backdrops
• Playful motifs, like lounging bumblebees and smiling flowers
• Skulls with flowers in their long hair

Where to Shop

Tracking down Ed Hardy bedding can be a bit of a hassle, but it isn't impossible to find the pieces you want. Visit online haunts like Amazon and eBay for the best pick of what's readily available, and be sure to check the latter site frequently for new additions. You may wish to check the Ed Hardy brick and mortar stores, many of which are outlets. Visit the store locator to find the store nearest you.

As with any piece of bedding, it can be tricky to find the right piece without seeing it in person. Unfortunately, you may have to purchase Ed Hardy bedding online, so do some research on the seller's return policy beforehand. With the right piece in your possession, you can count on years of use and plenty of color, too.

Banquet Tablecloth Sizes

There are many times you may opt for a banquet-sized table to seat all of your clan. You may find that a standard banquet-sized tablecloth will work, or you might need to have one custom-made. The average height of a table is 30" and a banquet tablecloth has a standard drop (fabric overhang) of 15". This allows the tablecloth to fall halfway between the table top and the floor. If you want your tablecloth to fall to the floor, then you need to add 30" to each side for a total of 60" to the width and length of your tabletop measurements.

Tradeshows and Event Tablecloths

You may be in charge of setting up a booth at a tradeshow that requires unusually long tables and large tablecloths. One popular choice is a typical banquet floor length tablecloth with a logo table runner centered over the tablecloth. This allows you more versatility in colors and patterns in your tablecloth choices that can be changed with seasons and special themed occasions. A second choice is to have your company or organization logo screen-printed directly onto the tablecloth. Cost considerations often dictate which style is best.

• Throw tablecloth: This tablecloth drapes over the table with a full 30" drop to floor length.
• Fitted tablecloth: Pleated corners and merrowed hem (rolled hem sewn with a Merrow serger).

Custom-Made Tablecloths

Custom-made tables can often have odd dimensions and need a specially made tablecloth. You may have an extra large table or a unique room layout that requires an oddly shaped table or simply use two tables together. Whatever the reason that you need a custom-made tablecloth, there are several online sources available for custom-made tablecloths. Just be certain your measurements are accurate before placing an order.

• Tablecloth Designs: If you have an odd shaped table, you're required to create a pattern to submit to the company. Complete instructions are given. There is a one-time fee of $10 for non-standard sizes and an additional $15 fee for any non-standard shapes. There is also a form you can complete for the size you need. In addition, you are encouraged to email or call if you are unsure about the cost or process of ordering your custom tablecloth. Fabric colors are wide with many patterns available. Damask, linen, vinyl and laminate as well as seasonal and holiday themes fabrics are available.
• Le Pin Parasol: Claim that they offer "Custom made tablecloths to suit any table", even one designed for an umbrella table. You can choose from a wide selection of styles and fabrics.

Other Considerations

Before you buy a tablecloth, make sure you take accurate measurements of your table and that it is a standard 30" height from the floor.

Add Drop Length to Measurements

You need to also add-in the length of the tablecloth drop. The drop length of your tablecloth is the amount of fabric that extends beyond the edge of the table. When allowing for a drop, you must remember that all table sides need to be accommodated for a drop length. This simply means you need to double the drop length measurement and then add it to the width and again to the length of your measurements. For a round table, simply add the drop twice to the diameter.

For example, if you have a 60" table and want a 10" drop, then the formula would be:

• 60"+10"+10"=80" round tablecloth

Seam Versus Seamless

One thing to consider when selecting a company is how they construct large tablecloths. Most tablecloths that are over 50" or 60" in width require at least one seam and in some cases, two seams. It's best to check if the company matches patterns vertically and horizontally. While this method requires more fabric, it certainly is worth the extra expense for the professional appearance it gives your tablecloth.

Before You Order

It may help to create a checklist of the various features you need in your tablecloth that you can check off before placing your order. By taking time to double-check your measurements, allow for the drop and understanding how your tablecloth will be constructed, you ensure you end up with your ideal tablecloth.
