Squares from the Netherlands and from Spain! Busy Tuesday (Updated!).

Good Morning Everyone!

I've had a busy morning. Lots of Squares today! I can't wait to show you.

First Karin of The Netherlands has very kindly sent me some great Squares for two Challenges. The 'Strawberry and Cream' theme and also 'Mens' Squares in darker colours for 'Mens' Blankets!' Her Squares are simply gorgeous and I'm so pleased she is enjoying doing Squares for SIBOL.

Thank you so much Karin! I'm presenting you with your own Slide Show!

Thanks Karin I really appreciate your Squares! I'm sure everyone enjoyed looking at your Squares!

I would also like to show you Squares from Pilar (pertinitaco Flickr) in Spain. She has very kindly sent me some Squares once again for the 'Strawberry and Cream' Challenge. Isn't it nice to see how everyone has their own ideas. We've said this so many times before. Each set of Squares is just so different. Pilar like Karin enjoys a SIBOL Challenge. I just couldn't wait to get outside really early this morning to take my photos. I do hope you enjoy looking at them.

Pilar, make yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy your very own Slide Show! Thank you so much for the wonderful Squares!

We've had some lovely Squares today from Karin and Pilar, thank you both so....much!
I am so pleased you are enjoying SIBOL!

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!

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!
