Sampler c. 1937

This sampler, created in 1937 by Arelia Arbo, is a traditional textile art piece. It displays the alphabet and numbers, meticulously stitched in colorful threads. This type of sampler was commonly practiced by young girls as a way to learn needlework and demonstrate their skills. This particular sampler, signed by Catherine Barr, is a beautiful example of the art of needlepoint and a piece of history that highlights the tradition of textile art.
