Abigail Adams Matelasse Bedspread
Description
The Abigail Adams Bedspread was originally introduced by Bates in 1976 during the celebration of the United States Bicentennial. This old-fashioned bedspread design was inspired by the handwoven cotton quilts that President John Adams used while serving abroad as a diplomat in France.
Many consider the Abigail Adams to be our most beautiful matelasse bedspread, and if nothing else, it is certainly the most ornate. This cotton bedspread features a central floral bust framed by French scrollwork that is further elevated by finely detailed accents throughout.
The Abigail Adams Bedspread has also been known in the past as "First Lady's Choice" or simply "Abigail."

Abigail Adams is a Beauty! More lovely that I could’ve imagined- the Wedgewood blue is truly the perfect celestial shade of blue. The crochet and fringe is the perfect addition to the gorgeous hand woven line of spreads, shams, etc. Highest Recommendation possible for Bates- Patience is required on shipping, but you will be thrilled beyond, when received!!
WOW! That says it all. It is absolutely beautiful. I love it. The additional 28” drop works perfectly. It was well worth the wait and the price. I think this will become an heirloom that I will enjoy passing down the line. Customer service was great and so helpful as I tried to determine if I needed the 28” drop. Thank you to everyone at Bates Mill. Happy approaching holidays to all.
This is an heirloom.

I am proud to support and praise the weavers who made my beautiful blue Abigail Adams bedspread. At age 82, this is my third Bates bedspread. Each has been a work of art. So happy the talented craftsmen and women are continuing the tradition of creating their fine bedspreads to share with us.
