BEDSPREADS AND QUILTS.
Bedspreads made in richly-coloured artificial silks, and decorated in exclusive designs, are being exhibited in great variety. This is an outcome of the modern vogue for introducing plenty of colour into the bedroom scheme. In one. very handsome exhibit a gorgeous medley of floral shapes and colourings has been woven into the material itself. Many of the bedspreads are in a colour shot with silver, and an effective method of decoration is a conventional floral design in applique. Very similar materials are being used for the covering of quilts, and it is most important that the right colour should be found if the bedroom scheme is to be a complete success. Silk embroidery, handpainting, and applique are used for the adornment of a good quilt. ,Manv ladies are attracted by a black silk quilt embroidered in the corners with four small bright rose sprays. Dull but rich shades are being used in the more expensive quilts, which are stuffed with eiderdown. Goose feathers are used nowadays even in many quilts that are highly priced.
