Mother Goose Quilt Series-Pattern No. 13
Jack Sprat
Here are Mr. and Mrs. Sprat - he is so skinny and she is so fat. But no wonder, when she can eat no lean and he can eat fo fat, and they eat and eat until they lick the platter clean.
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.
Why not make the table cloth a red and white checked one of gingham? Mr. Sprat's suit may be brown, he hair black, and Mrs. Sprat's dress bright blue with her hair yellow. The furniture may be brown.
This is also attractive in a combination of applique and solid embroidery. The faces, hair, hands, plates and forks may be embroidered and the rest is appliqued.
See general directions leaflet giving yardages and measurements of blocks, joining strips and borders of quilt.
