Two Challenges in one delivery!

Hi Everyone!

Just popping into SIBOL to show you all the beautiful Squares I have received from Kim today. Kim has sent Squares which are great for two of the Challenges which we have running at the moment. Flower and Blue and White Squares. Just look at Kims' Squares aren't they just lovely! Once again our favourite Granny Square with such a wonderful little Flower in the centre. I just love them. Also Kim has sent some really great Blue and White Squares. If you have been checking into SIBOL over the last few days you will see that Ladies are starting to send them in and I'm really pleased that Kim has kindly sent some in.

Flower Squares and Blue and White Squares from Kimblesathome (UK) Gorgeous Squares all of them thank you so much!

OOh, I just get so....excited, and I know that everyone else loves looking at the Squares when they arrive. I know from emails received that you are enjoying looking at the different designs and indeed colours.

I do hope you will pop over to Kim's blog and introduce yourself! She has some really lovely work on there.

Thanks for visiting SIBOL today. My email address is sueatpigsty@talktalk.net if anyone is interested in donating Squares or indeed wants to 'team blog' with us. I can then send you an invitation.

If you have anything you would like to say about SIBOL please feel free.
If you have a blog, you can 'team blog' with us. You may just want to say how nice some Squares are, you may want to post your own SIBOL Squares on here, or you may just want to say what you think of the Blankets, your thoughts on all the beautiful Squares used. It's entirely up to you. All are most welcome!

Thanks Kim, I really love your Squares and I am most grateful. Your Squares are in the Slide Show. Enjoy everyone!

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!
