I am wanting to find thin cotton bedspreads like I remember having in the 70s. They had like raised stripes on them, were solid colors.
I had a bedspread like that in the 70s. It was from Sears.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I have no opinion on the Airbus or any other plane, but as a born and bred (4th generation) Californian, I had never heard of a singular split (except, as Tep notes, related to champagne) before this conversation. I grew up knowing tons of dance students and actors working hard to become double or triple threats, and since it was a big-deal flexibility goal we talked about it a lot, and it was always, always "the splits."
not chenille, like pintucks. heavy cotton like a totebag weight.
I'm from the Midwest and say do the splits. Which sounds funny now that i've read it 18 times! But I'd only heard "a split" in reference to champagne.
MsBelle, I used to buy exactly that at Cost Plus World Market. But limited colors; I always got a taupe.
msbelle, seersucker?
eta: And, meara, I just remembered that even my Midwest transplant best friend (from Minnesota) always called them "the splits," too.
There was one brief bendy time in my life when I could do them--right leg forward only, though. Could never, ever manage left leg forward.
I have never, ever heard "the splits". it sounds so weird to me.
I agree with Sue that those bedspreads are chenille bedspreads.
Did they use the same material for chair covers?
Yeah, in Seattle, it's always been the splits or splits. No singular split.
