I recommend English Embroidery from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1580-1700: ‘Twixt Art and Nature very highly. The exhibition presents quality scholarship, which is scarce in this area of material culture studies. The Peterson pattern you show here is for wool on canvas. Often referred to as Berlin work, this was an extremely popular form of needlework from 1820-1880 in America.
