Mother Goose Quilt Series-Pattern No. 11
Tom, The Piper's Son


No wonder Tom is running so fast. He stole that pig and the first thing he knows he will get beaten and as for that little pig - well, he'll be eaten up pretty quickly.

This may be worked out in an etching stitch in red, blue, green, or any plain color; or the whole block may be made in applique.

Tom's suit may be bright blue, the pig pink, and Tom's hair bright yellow with his shoes black.

This is also attractive in a combination of applique and solid embroidery. The shoes, hair and pig's feet and tail may be embroidered and an etching stitch used for Tom's face.

See general directions leaflet giving yardages and measurements of blocks, joining strips and borders of quilt.
