and I think  just wonderful

and the green over creamy white glaze is just lovely

and the bird that appears on one side

with holes now in his grey knitted wool sweater as well as a couple in the purple wool robe underneath

Large English Woolen Sampler with Alphabets, Darning Patterns, and Deer boaters on river painting and I think just wonderfulOne of the things I really love about this unusually large English schoolgirl sampler is that it includes both alphabets and numbers (including roman numbers I V) AND darning samples (the square patterns on the lower half), which I especially love. Plus that wonderful bounding stag at center! Pretty decorative patterns along every edge, too, each different. Really super sweet, and in very good condition; I am uncertain of the age and am not a sampler
