I had a laugh this morning and three lots of Squares from Australia, Netherlands and UK!

Hi Everyone!

Just popping into 'SIBOL' to show you the latest Squares received today. My friend from Canada hopefully is looking in. Unfortunately no post from your part of the World yet! I will mail you as soon as possible. So sorry I know you are waiting patiently!

Wow! I had a laugh this morning Bethel of Bethania sent some Squares today and they only took around a week to arrive. Wasn't that good all the way from Australia! BUT she sent me something so wacky!! and funny!! Do you wanna see?

Well you know between us we are making the 'sun' theme Blankets (Karins idea) and the Squares received are so BRIGHT !!!! BethelofBethania very kindly sent me some ...........SUNGLASSES!! I know I had a laugh too! The question was shall I show the WORLD?? Well why not! So here I am (Excuse the wrinkles).....

Well what a laugh I had this morning! Bethel sent me some Sunglasses to wear while making the 'sun' themed Blankets!

I know ...... I had a laugh too. Only Bethel could have thought of that!! Thanks Bethel. Also for your Squares......

BethelofBethania (Australia) sent me these beautiful Squares and they arrived today in super duper time! Thanks Bethel. She also sent me something>>>>>>>> Don't laugh now ! >>>>>>

Bethels' Squares arrived at 7.30 am. Then at lunchtime two more packages arrived with the usual Postie.

From.........Isolde in the Netherlands (isolde2006 Flickr)

and then from Ruth (Flickr ruth*marie) (UK)

Beautiful Squares from ruth*marie (UK) arrived this morning! I'm just loving the colours, thanks so much! I love the pattern!

I am so lucky to have received such beautiful Squares.

Isolde very kindly wrote us a 'team blog' post last week. I hope you will check it out. She tells us about her Squares where the patterns came from etc., The colours are just wonderful. Thank you so much Isolde.

Ruth has only been crocheting for around four months and I'm sure you'll all agree she has done extremely well. I just love the colours she has used. Thank you so much.

I hope you have all enjoyed looking at the three lots of Squares and I hope Bethel, Isolde and Ruth have enjoyed making the Squares for SIBOL.
Your Squares are now in the Slide Show. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

P.S. I shan't be leaving the photo on for long! :)

Now, why didn't I think of that. My side is still hurting from laughing. Classic. Classic. You are just too funny or losing your minds. See I've always said just go with it, who the heck cares what us gals do over here in blogland.

Great squares, but still laughing.

Stop by
Symphony in Hue is up.

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!

One of the Residents trying one of our Shawls on.

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!
