Needlework sampler with blue house in center, bird resting on roof. House flanked by trees. Male and female figures standing by a tree. Queen's stitch flowers and strawberries around boarder. Text reads, "May spotless innocence and truth, my every action guide and guard my unexperienced youth from arrogance and pride". Relates in style to several examples worked at Mary (Polly) Balch's School in Providence, RI, in the 1790's. See Bolton & Coe. P. 240
