Sunny Squares from Sandy in Arizona.

Hi Everyone,

Weekend approaches!

It's been such a beautiful day here today in the UK. Really quite warm. I made the most this afternoon and went outside and swept the Patio, got rid of those dead plants finally!

Anyway, I'm very pleased to say today Sandy's 'sun' themed Squares arrived. Wow! Look how bright they are! Just ideal for our 'sun' themed Blankets Ladies! Aren't they gorgeous? I just love them.

Orange and yellows perfect for a Sunny day here in the UK! Sandy has sent them from the USA. Arizona. Thank you!

I love them all but I think my favourite out of all the Squares is the one with yellow in the middle and then orange and then white. (Over on the right). I wonder where Sandy got the patterns from? I'm always interested. Perhaps when others are sending in their Squares they would put a note inside so that I can post the details. I'm sure she'll let us know. (Yellow Square - all.crafts.net 'Tilted Square'. Yellow/Orange piece-by-piece.net 'Vintage Wheel Square'. Yellow/Orange/White 101 Granny Squares by Darla Sims Sq no.6. ) Thankyou SAndy!

I do hope you will pop over to Sandy's blog. You can tell from paying a visit over there that she loves her Crocheting just like we all do. She lives in Arizona and keeps Cockatiels. My Mother kept a Cockatiel years ago when I was at home. It was so tame and would go and sit on her shoulder. They do make a mess though, but they really are good company. 'Alberto' was the name of Mom's bird. She had him for quite a long time. We kept Budgies as Kids. We thought the one was a male Budgie until it kept laying loads of eggs! OOh! I'm rattling on sorry!

Anyway, have a good weekend everyone!

Please have a look at the up-dated Slide Show with Sandys' Squares in.
Bye for now.

Beautiful squares. I had a Cockatiel too when the girls were little, his name was "Tiel" :-)
Very tame, loved the girls and had the run of the house as his wings were clipped. Very sad when he died though

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!

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!
