Embroidered Sampler
Margaret (Peggy) Ingraham American
This Bristol, Rhode Island, alphabet sampler includes a carefully stitched three-bay red brick Federal house on a dramatic black background. Two courting couples are being serenaded by a flutist who reads from the score on a music stand. The worked alphabet has the V preceding the U, an anomaly found on other Bristol samplers.
