Duo Purpose White Throw

Matelasse is a delightful fabric with a raised, kind of embossed design.  

I read that it resembles fabric of hand-stitched quilts made in Marseilles, France.

 Matelasse quilts and throws are beautiful on a bed or strung across the back of a couch.

One more use I discovered this week was using a small piece for a table cover as well!

A table cover? Uh huh.

There was a small coverlet in a bedroom pretty much unused so I decided to put it on the kitchen table instead.

It's perfect with a new red beaded heart that my daughter gifted me, along with heart-covered napkins and paper plates for Valentine's Day! (Thanks, honey!)

I added red heart-covered place mats, the white 'permanent' lace chargers and the new white teapot filled with posies.

It brightens things up in the well-used kitchen on a snowy winter's day.
