They look quite contemporary considering the work was done in 1660! I live in London and have not visited the V & A for about 20 years! I think I may be due to a revisit as I am inspired by the colourful sampler. I hope that you enjoyed your time in London albeit a short stay! I love the figures in the sampler.

I loved the V&A when I was there years ago. Did the same as you, looking at all the textiles draw by draw. Did you like the sculpted stone creatures decorating the building outside? I also went drooling in Liberty :) Glad you had a great time. That was quick! I loved the V&A when I was there years ago. Did the same as you, looking at all the textiles draw by draw.

It measured 2 feet by 3 feet, or thereabouts. Is ir still on display?
