Antique Primitive c1829 Spanish Sampler with Missing Letters K

A lovely Antique (dated 1829) Sampler. The Sampler is worked in various colors on linen and features Alphabets, all of which are missing the letter "K" and a few numbers where there was room on the ends of the alphabets. The Sampler is signed by the maker;

"Lohizo Petra Pascual Y Lugui Rendo discipulo de la Shijas de la Carldad Ano 1829 En Los Arco"

which translates to

"It was done by Petra Pascual Y Lugui Rendo disciple of the Shijas de la Carldad Year 1829 In Los Arco".

The bottom features flower baskets, a bluebird, potted plants and birds. It is trimmed around the border in silk. This is a large Sampler at 25 1/2" x 15 1/4" excluding the silk bows on the corners. It is in very nice condition which makes me wonder if it was never displayed because of the mistakes. There is fraying to the silk borders just from age. There is one small brownish spot, see closeup photo.
