Four Way Bargello by Dorothy Kaestner, 1974 is on the EGA Bibliography for EGA Master Craftsman Canvas, Step 4. I don’t have a book cover for this one. It’s a hardcover red book.

There are a total of 32 color plates, diagrams for 2 sizes of Alphabets and 1 set of numbers, and 2 flower motifs that would be stitched in basketweave for the center of medallions. Leaf stitch is incorporated into one design and one pattern forms a circle.

The ribbon patterns are great and I would love time to play with the ribbon and ring patterns. I used the corner ribbon pattern on pages 110-111 for the outer border in my Bargello Bowls (https://melitastitches4fun.com/2021/04/22/canvas-master-craftsman-program-step-4/).
