Windham Fabrics has Introduced the New Mark Twain Collection of Fabrics

Windham Fabrics is pleased to introduce the new Mark Twain collection of fabrics, in conjunction with The Mark Twain House & Museum. The fabrics are inspired by Sam’s personal artifacts and the museum’s collection, along with a hand written manuscript and illustrations from early editions of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The beautiful patterns and color palette are reminiscent of both typical and not-so-typical designs from this historic period of the 19th Century.

   

     “River Stories” Quilt

Some of the objects in our collection that were used for the fabric patterns:

 

Dining Room Wallpaper.

 

End paper from Mark Twain's patent scrapbook.

 

Leather book cover that belonged to Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Clara Clemens's husband.

  

Illustrations from 1st editions of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, Goodman drawing.  Books on shelves in Mark Twain House Library.

 

Manuscript in Mark Twain's handwriting.
