Little Bunny Shepherd 1815 by The Wishing Thorn
Such a delightful little sampler to add to your collection, from Sussex England. Frances was about 10 years old when she stitched this and she lived to quite an old age. She was baptized on 5 May 1805. I am so glad she is once again with us in May 2022. Another miniature sampler measuring only 5.5 by 7.75 inches.
