This is part-way through a Ukrainian mini-sampler, within my Whitework sampler. You can see some of the work characteristic oif Ukrainian embroidery - the narrow outer border of atin stitch motifs, the diagonal eyelets, the use of drawn thread borders and dividers. I do so enjoy doing this sort of embroidery.

like doucas to hem and to stitch for the poor,
