After having organized “Randje per Week” for 5 years, Annelies van den Bergh (https://quiltsandsiggies.blogspot.nl) and Simone de Jong (www.soedidee.nl) thought it was enough…
A number of times they organized a “Sampler SAL” in 2019, a Stitch-A-Long from a sampler from the collection of Annelies. Again this collection expanded considerably during the year.
So in mid-2019 she told Simone that she had collected a whole lot of new bands… Something started tickling again with both ladies !
The result is this new booklet with 78 new bands, but also with different creative ideas using motifs and bands.
We hope you enjoy reading, admiring and embroidering these new bands.

Softcover, 32 pages, A4 format.

Leaflet of "Vakje (box) per Week 2017", containing the complete pattern - in color - of all boxes, including the alternatives for the threaded boxes and a variant on linen binding. This is a reprint of the previously released booklet. It's in both Dutch and English.

Softcover, 8 pages, A4 format.

Details:
Each box is 29 crosses wide and 49 crosses high. We have put together a set of 8 squares next to each other and 6 rows of squares below each other. The whole is framed by a beautiful border and then becomes 283 crosses wide and 339 crosses high.

Dimensions 283W x 339H crosses:
28 count / 11 threads / 5.5 x/cm : 51 x 62 cm
32 count / 12.6 thread / 6.3 x/cm : 45 x 54 cm
36 count/ 14 threads / 7.1 x/cm : 40 x 48 cm
40 count/ 15.7 threads / 7.9 x/cm : 36 x 43 cm

The pattern is embroidered in two colors, but of course you can give it your own twist and make it in any color or number of colors you want. You can also adjust the layout of the boxes to your own liking or add boxes yourself. Annelies, for example, has embroidered 3 squares next to each other on a 20 cm wide linen band.

If you make the sampler as we offer it you will need:
Embroidery fabric of your choice (for example Zweigart Belfast Natural 12.6 threads), size 70 x 100 cm. This is spacious, but then you also have room for your own input.
Yarn: 12 skeins of the main color and 3 skeins of a second color DMC (eg DMC 815 and 930).

If you are going to work on embroidery tape, just like Annelies, you will need 2 meters of 20 cm wide tape.

Booklet of "RpW 2016", containing the complete pattern - in color - of the entire sampler. This year's booklet also contains photos and descriptions of the accompanying school patches from Annelies van den Bergh's collection. A blank pattern has also been added for personalizing your sampler.
