    Ok...taking into account this is my morning and I haven`t had my coffee yet...120-150 BPS??? Is that all?? Oh how I wish I was in England!! I would love to have that sampler!!
    Are all 4 edges hemmed? It looks like the right size to have been cut from a sampler that had whitework and silk embroidery...
