Hi everyone, welcome to my Special Edition FlossTube: Carter House Sampler 1817

Today we will be looking at the Carter House Sampler and we will take a field trip to the log cabin where Mary (Polly) Atkinson Carter stitched her sampler as well as the home she lived in with her husband and family in Franklin, Tennessee.

12 years after her death, her home and family would be at the epicenter of the Civil War Battle of Franklin. If you are interested in learning more about the house and the battle, I’ve added many resources and video links in the description below. 

I hope you enjoy this look at the sampler, Mary’s life and where she lived.
