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.

The latest bands were only published on the Facebook group  “Randje per Week”… Until now!

After many requests Annelies and I have also published "Randje per Week 2021" in book form: "Alle Randjes Verzameld".

This book contains the full Randje pattern per Week 2021. But not just this pattern. The book contains ALL the bands from 2014 to now. That's over 400! A real must-have!

The book is a very complete reference work in which all bands are sorted by height, from 1 crosses high to 31 crosses high.

The book is softcover, A4 format and has 48 pages full of Bands inspiration.

A few years ago I bought this beautiful antique sampler "GH1857" that stands out because of the use of color. This was the inspiration for the Pincushion Club of 2020-2021. By popular request I have now also put the entire sampler on a pattern and published it in this beautiful book together with the patterns of the Pincushion Club.
The book contains the pattern of the sampler, all patterns and work descriptions for the pincushions and needle book and an alphabet for the personalization of your project. Size Sampler: 301W x 294H (19" x 18 1/2" on 32 ct fabric)

The book is softcover, A4 format, in Dutch and English, and has 32 pages. In addition, a handy loose thread card has been added with the legend.

DESPITE THE CAREFUL PREPARATION, THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE LEGEND   BELOW AT THE "ATTACHMENTS" YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT LEGEND.

When you say "Soed Idee" you say "Randje per Week", "RED" and "Pincushion Club".
And if you throw all those elements into Simone's brain with a good dose of inspiration, you get "Simone's Smalls"!
Simone designed a number of small embroidery projects ("Smalls"), inspired by the Randjes and embroidered them all in her favorite color red. Such as a pindrum, biscornu, mattress cushion, needle roll, etc. Finished with a beautiful French General fabric, it became a beautiful collection!

All patterns with complete work descriptions are in the new book "Simone's Smalls". The book is in both Dutch and English and also contains a bonus pattern for a small sampler.

This sampler "Ivlie Godefroid" caught my eye because of the beautiful colours. Upon closer inspection, the sampler turned out to be full of nice motifs. A landscape with a church, butterfly, shepherdess with all her creatures and the more traditional motifs such as the reclining deer in the garden, a ship, cradle, etc.
The sampler is not dated but was probably made in the mid-19th century in Belgium, France or Luxembourg.
I charted the sampler and used a number of motifs to make a pin drum, pin cushions and needle book. These are all in this beautifully designed book.

Sampler size: 249W x 226H cross stitch (32 x 29 cm on 16 thread linen)
The book contains the pattern of the sampler, all patterns and work descriptions of the pincushions and needle booklet.

The book is softcover, A4 format, in Dutch and English and has 32 pages. In addition, a handy separate thread card has been added with the legend.

Cross stitch book by Shakespeare's Peddler "Most Humble Hands" 

This 40-page book is full of even more eye candy than "Red Letter Day," with a scrapbook-y feel and lots of photographs and art. Eight samplers are reproduced for this book, and photographs of the originals are included. This has been about a year in the making, and I thank everyone who helped -- my model stitchers, husband, friends and family. It's been a labor of love!
