Left untreated, TTD leads to full blown Textilosis (our disease), an all-consuming love of vintage tablecloths and textiles. In addition to hoarding and petting, victims of textilosis display other chronic symptoms and behaviors, such as forming online support groups, writing and reading books and articles about the objects of their obsession, festooning their homes with tablecloths, spending inordinate amounts on stain removal products, openly dealing in textiles and even traveling to fraternize with other addicts under the guise of conventions.

Vintage Tablecloth Lovers Club
Making the world a cozier place…one table at a time
Making the World a Cozier Place…One Table at a TimeIn the summer of 2002, a group of linen obsessed folks formed “The Vintage Tablecloth Lovers Club” (VTLC). Founders were drawn together by their mutual love and appreciation for the vintage printed tablecloths of the 1930’s through the 1960’s. As they shared their collections, they also shared their knowledge and realized that if they pooled their resources an important part of American history would be preserved. The club was born and is still going strong today. Promoting the education and appreciation of these textile treasures, we have a vibrant on-line club. We have fun sharing our unusual hobby and making friendships that will last a lifetime.The VTLC provides numerous resources benefiting all types – from the casual hobbyist to the rabid collector. We share everything from pictures of our collections to sales trends in the marketplace to resources including articles researched and written by members. We sponsor on-line activities such as table setting contests and themed forum activities. The forum is the place to visit, share, ask questions and learn from each other. Our Tablecloth Identification Database is the only one of its kind, with nearly 1700 tablecloths. More are added all the time. Compiled for members, by members, this invaluable resource is great for identifying a new cloth or just browsing during a quiet moment. The club is not-for-profit, managed by volunteers and all fun. We would love to have you join us and look forward to meeting you. The membership fee goes to support our website which is our club meeting hall.
