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."

Bedspread

I bought this bedspread and pillow cover. I absolutely love it. It looks stunning in my bedroom. The Abigail Adams in the linen color is perfect for my cherry bed. This is a well-made and excellent quality bedspread. I am so happy to finally have quality and made in the USA. I would definitely buy again from this company.

Outstanding quality

I now have two bedspreads and a set of pillow shams from Bate’s Mill. One is white, one is blue with white figures. These are in daily use in all seasons.

My bedspreads are well made with a good weight. They are soft and comfortable. My grandchildren enjoy snuggling into them, as do I. My cat and my Golden Retriever also enjoy the comfort of these bedspreads despite my efforts to discourage this.

These bedspreads are well used. I need to wash them regularly because of this. They are easy to wash and dry. I have not seen any shrinkage. Any wrinkles flatten out when I buy them back on the bed.

During and after my purchase the staff at Bates’ Mill kept me informed at every step. Excellent customer communication.

These are outstanding. I am happy with my purchases and with the staff at Bate’s Mill.

BEAUTIFUL

The quality and craftsmanship of this Abigail Adams bedspread is incredible. I knew the minute I opened the package! I was so excited to receive this and it looks beautiful in my modern farmhouse master bedroom. I love that I am supporting an American business! Had a hard time finding a large enough bedspread but they definitely did not skimp on this product. I love how you have kept with tradition! If I am in need of another blanket then nothing else will do.

Bedspread of my dreams!

I have been looking for (and buying) bedspread after bedspread, looking for the one that was just right for my king size bed. Every single one fell short (literally)! All of them, even the ones tagged as oversized, were way too short in length. I did not want the "mini skirt" look on my bed, but that was what I was getting with each attempt to fill the bill. Finally, I ordered a Bates Abigail Adams bedspread (linen). The wait was a bit long as it was being custom made, but it was worth the delay in receiving it. From the moment I lifted it out the box, I knew I had purchased QUALITY!!!! Although the bedspread does not touch the floor, it is far better than any other bedspread, coverlet, or quilt I've previously owned. It is absolutely exquisite. I also ordered the pillow shams and a matching coverlet/throw. My husband and I are going to Maine at the end of this year, our first visit there ever, and I hope we can go to the Bates Mill to thank these artisans and craftsmen in person for keeping this extraordinary skill alive and well. They make the entire country proud when they say, "Made in America." I hope they continue the tradition for another century and beyond!

Simple and Elegant

I am absolutely in love with my Abigail Adams bedspread and sham in linen! I wanted something simple, yet still elegant, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I love the fringe, too! As a young Millennial, I've never had an old-fashioned bedspread; I'm definitely looking forward to the ease of making and unmaking my bed. So beautiful and well-made. I can tell a lot of love was put into making my bedspread and sham. It made my day to receive my bedding in the mail. I am definitely purchasing another for my queen sized bed. Nothing other than Bates will do!
