Love this book!,
This review is from: Colorful Tablecloths 1930s-1960s: Threads of the Past (Paperback)
Finally, a book based on facts and not "educated" guesses. A wonderful reference guide with beautiful pictures of tablecloths that are to die for. This book has helped me identify many cloths in my own collection and get an idea of their true value. Great work!

At Long Last!,
This review is from: Colorful Tablecloths 1930s-1960s: Threads of the Past (Paperback)
What a wonderful surprise I had as I reviewed the vintage tablecloths and were so happy to see so many of my Dad's designs and also see that he was mentioned in many of them. This is the first book I have that recognizes John Madsen as the designer and holder of some patents (which I never knew about). My sister, brother and I have enjoyed the thrill of looking and purchasing his tablecloths and have a nice selection - many of which we remember seeing him work on. This book has helped us so much in recognizing his work and learning more about Wilendure who he worked for. We thank Yvonne Barineau for providing this information in our search. The pictures are clear, and the information provided is wonderful. Thank you.......Sue Nilsen
