Squares across the miles from Australia!

Hi Everyone!

It's such a lovely warm day here in the UK. I hope it's nice where-ever you are! I can't believe how quickly the week has gone again. Let's hope we can all do a bit of 'hooky' this weekend!

I had a package arrive this morning from Australia. forines13 on Flickr who very kindly sent me some lovely Squares. They really are pretty, but I say that about all the Squares!

I've made a Slide Show including your Squares forines13, enjoy and have a nice Weekend. Thank you so much for the package this morning. It was very kind of you!

Australian Squares meet a 'SIBOL'. Thank you so much forines13!

Happy Weekend Everyone! and thanks for visiting 'SIBOL'.

I think whenever it is warm in the UK I have a little rain here. Please let it be warm for some weeks more there, Sue! :-D

Forines13's squares are bright and lively, what a beautiful blanket they will make!

Hope you had a great St. George's Day. I have an award for you and all the Sunshine Ladies here on my blog, please come and pick it up!

Hugs.

Oh Sue: You surely are surrounded by a veritable yarn flower garden supplied by Forines13. Enjoy your lovely garden and thanks for posting all of the lovely photos. This must keep you busy all of the time!

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

I live in the UK.

With the help of my on-line friends we

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

to Elderly Residents in Care/Nursing Homes.

Would you like to help us?

We no longer accept Squares but we do accept

your Crocheted and Knitted Blankets. We also

accept Knitted and Crocheted Shawls.

My address is only available by email.

Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

All details are on

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

The project was started in Memory of my

Grandmother.

Thank you!

Important Notices

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

Thank you.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
