Busy Day here on SIBOL!

Hello to Everyone visiting SIBOL today!

OOh! I'm so happy today SIBOL is really busy!!!! I'm so pleased to be welcoming our new 'team bloggers'
Sabiha from Finland and Manda from the UK. They have both very kindly agreed to 'team blog' with us and it's always so good to have new posts! I'm so pleased you have come on board with us and thank you for taking the time and trouble to say hello!

I do hope you will always go back posts, because I'd love you to read them. Some days SIBOL is quite fast moving. If you go back you will also see Karins' Squares from the Netherlands that she has made for the 'Strawberry and Cream' theme, and also 'Luna' from Texas has made some 'Kiddes' Squares' along with a 'Strawberry' one. Just lovely. Thank you so much. It's always great fun to see what every one comes up with.

The other thing is.....Today I received Squares from Marion here in the UK who has sent the most beautiful
Squares for the 'Strawberries and Cream' Challenge. Aren't the colours just lovely? I couldn't resist picking a few Geraniums to lay by her Squares. It's a pretty cool day here in the UK, and the light could have been better, but I hope that hasn't spoiled any photos for you. I'm most grateful to you Marion, the Squares are gorgeous! I'm sure you will all agree.

I am showcasing today Marions' Squares, enjoy them because they are truly so pretty........

I must also welcome our new Followers it's such a pleasure to see
the number rising and it would be great if you left a comment
and tell us what you think about SIBOL!

Thanks to everyone who continue to work hard for our SIBOL
project 'Sunshine Blankets for the Elderly'. Ooh! I've just thought
I need to tell you that I have a name for the white Blanket in the
header. I asked Nettie (Quoin Flickr) in Australia to name the
Blanket as she had sent some Squares to me.Well she did come
up with a couple of names but then her Son who is aged 11,
came up with 'Blizzard Blooms!'. So I thought why not!
'Blizzard Blooms is a really good name!'. So thank you!

Have a good day everyone!
Hugs Suex

Marion your squares are so pretty. Wow, I have been working on some black and whites tonight to post off, but the red and white is fabulous.

Sue, I love your garden, such colour and I love how you showcase these beautiful squares of love.

Hi Sue: Its been really fun reading the team blog entries this morning! I believe special people have a way of attracting special people and we certainly have a group of very special people in SIBOL! Marion's squares are beautiful and bright. Those squares fit right in nestled next to those lovely geraniums and strawberries....

Thanks Sue for coming by my blog and saying such lovely things about my skirt etc. When my crocheting improves I would love to send you some squares but I have to practice some more first. And when the give away is on I will let you know :)

love Alette

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!
