A sweet little sampler originally stitched in 1908.  
This antique sampler was the inspiration for the
‘Bluebirds of Happiness’ sampler.  
This would make a lovely companion to that piece.  
 
One of the unusual aspects of this sampler is the row of letters
across the top (I U L E T K N R B O G V A) which Judy says 
may be a reference to a biblical verse, but it has not been located. 
A similar sampler is in the book entitled ’Petite Rouges’ by Muriel Ritz.
