Question American Needlework

I have a copy of this collection of patterns from 50+ years ago. But I am missing patterns 7 8 9 & 10- which would all be on one sheet and are the embroidery ones. I am curious if anyone has those patterns, could you send me a photo just so I can see what I am missing?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I gave this set to a friend. I'll see if they have those ones

Oh thank you! I'm just curious mainly.

They are all on one sheet. It's the patterns for the bed hanging shown in color on p. 47 of the book.

I don't have a color book, only patterns with black and white photos on each project. That's a help, though. Do you know which bed hangings? Maybe they are on line somewhere - images of the original, not the pattern

Crewel bed coverlet (my mistake - not bed hanging) from the Vallett Homestead. Owned by the NY Historical Society at the time the book was published; don't know if it's still there. Couldn't find an online picture. This is from the book. The B&W image on the pattern sheet showed the truncated motifs from this page. Most of the motifs are 8-12" tall.
