Hi Tim, both are Chinese, both are embroidered reproductions of Song-era paintings in the National Palace Museum collection in Taiwan, and judging from the traditional characters on the inscription of the goose picture, both were made in Taiwan, perhaps for sale in the museum shop.
The goose (see smallish image of the painting in the following link) is attributed to the Huizong emperor (reigned first quarter 12th century) but is instead the work of a court artist, perhaps some years after Huizong's reign.

The picture of children playing in the garden is a reproduction of the finest surviving painting by Su Hanchen, another court artist. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Su_Han_Ch'en_001.jpg
It looks like the titleslip on yours also has imitated the signature of Huang Junbi, a prominent 20th century painter/connoisseur, but there's no connection between the signature and anything else on the titleslip or the painting.
