Martha Washington’s Choice Luxurious Throws
posted in Luxury Throws |Martha Washington's Choice luxurious throws are woven with soft cotton at Maine Heritage Weavers in Lewiston, Maine by former employees of Bates Fabrics.
Formerly named "George Washington's Choice", Martha Washington's Choice is still one of the most popular vintage chenille woven designs. Martha Washington's Choice is also woven into both bedspread and coverlet sizes with matching pillow shams (standard and king size) in addition to throws.
George Washington chose the original of this design for his bride. The original weave, older than Christianity, was lost when textile machinery replaced skilled weavers. Bates Fabrics had recaptures this weaving art and former employees continue this tradition at Maine Heritage Weavers.
Many brides during the 1950s received bedspreads in this pattern. Throws, especially these USA woven vintage throws, make wonderful anniversary presents. Available in white or antique, this design is also available in standard coverlet sizes with pom-pom fringe and bedspread sizes with string fringe. Free fabric swatches are available. Custom sizes are offered to accommodate thicker mattresses.
