Blue and white inspiration

Before starting on my blue and white squares I thought That I would have a look to see what inspiration I could find…..

It turns out I like blue. I don’t think I noticed how much I had in the house until I decided to photograph it. In the 80’s I went colour mad, terracotta was very popular then. Now its all neutral with accents. What colours predominate in your homes?

OOh thanks so much for posting Louise! I'm so glad you are taking part in 'team blogging'. I fully agree with you. My Kitchen is in 'Blue and White'. Blue and white tablecloth. Blue and white crocheted doileys on my window sill and on my corner kitchen cupboard which house my piggies. Yes I'm Blue and White in the Kitchen. Lounge - well if you visit my Flickr stream you'll see plenty of my Lounge. going for the peach/terracotta colours. I have my home in a slide show on Mrs Twins. Yes the colours have certainly gone very neutral now but at the end of the day I think you have to stick with what you like.
These Blue and White Squares are gorgeous. I am finishing the sun blankets this week. I maybe quiet in Blogland. I'm allowing myself a week to finish '3' sun themed Blankets off before I start the flower ones. Which I am so looking forward to with all these gorgeous blue and white squares.
Dont you just get so excited with these Challenges!
Thanks for the post
Hugs Suex

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!
