Tom and Becky's Sampler Quilt

Having lived just outside of Hannibal, Missouri, all her life, Christina McCourt became immersed in all things Mark Twain. The sweet and simple projects in this book are dedicated to his beloved characters Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher and their budding romance. The centrepiece of the collection is the sampler quilt, in which each block represents Tom, Becky, or the people and adventures in their lives. The quilts Becky’s Waltz and Tom’s Fancy stand out as wonderful examples of Christina’s eye for colour and pattern. Other quilt projects include the graphic and colourful Lost in the Cave and Poor Boy Huck.
