Our Green Tablecloth

by Donna Hruska

July 26, 1973 by Donna Hruska Hunt

by Donna Hruska

Tablecloths have always been a problem in our house. Because we must eat in the dining room, we like to have an attractive cloth on the table; yet with six children and many spills, fabric cloths are impractical. Plastic, on the other hand, seemed to go to pieces in no time, and the pretty ones that looked like fabric were hard to clean. One day I went to a fabric shop, bought a length of heavy fabric-backed vinyl upholstery material in a dressy floral pattern. With the addition of a row of fringe all the way around, it was transformed into a tablecloth lovelier than any we’ve ever had–one that cleans easily and promises to wear forever.
