Lace Tablecloth from the Philippines


The fine needlework and craftsmanship of Filipino ladies from the Taal, Batangas area made this tablecloth magnificent! The eyelet-looking design and all the other embroidery were created by hand. The ecru material is made of quality cotton.

When using this piece on your dining table, it is advisable to put the cloth over a dark-colored lining to make the embroidery stand out. It is best to clean the piece by hand-washing, drying it flat on a clothes line, and ironing it on the wrong side.

This wonderful tablecloth was a gift from my loving eldest sister-in-law who lives in the Philippines. [LH]
