<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 296980, member: 5833"]They look preprinted, with sewn highlights in white here & there. From the quality of the work, I am guessing the sewing was done by quite a young girl learning her stitches. They may have been intended for use in this way, or some ambitious miss decided to embellish the decorations in her room. If more areas had been worked using other types of stitch, I would say it was a sort of sampler. Maybe these were saved & framed as Susan's first sewing by Susan't proud mother or grandmother.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
