<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 1519641, member: 738"]I find it charming, with that naive Pennsylvania Dutch motif. I agree about the dating by considering the motto; "dream" was not a popular 19th century moral lesson. Faith , hope, charity, purity or some other similar motto would be expected. There is a possibility that a textile expert could determine the age by examining the textile, unless it has been stitched onto an up-cycled old textile. And I suppose by a forensic examination of the floss, that might give you a clue as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
