Squares from Australia and Australia today! :)

Hello Everyone!

May I first of all thank you for the lovely comments on the previous post. Nice of you to comment on the Squares received they truly are lovely. Also Lauren thanks so much for the name for SIBOL No. 25! Yes, I'm very pleased to say your name has been chosen (well I didn't have any others!) for this Blanket.

                                                             'Wedgewood Willow'
                                                              Thank You Lauren!

I am really happy to tell you that I had two lots of Squares arrive today from Australia. The first set are from
Jenni  in Queensland, Australia. These colours are similar to Joyces' Squares received the other day. They are simply lovely for our Mens' Blankets. I am ever so pleased you have taken part Jenni in our SIBOL project and I am glad you have enjoyed making them for the Elderly.

Here's your Slide Show Jenni!

Such lovely Squares!

I also had Squares arrive from Lauren (LT81) in New South Wales, Australia. Lauren has made some Squares for our 'Bonfire Night' Challenge, 'Black and White' Challenge, 'Christmas Challenge' and she also sent me some Purple Squares which will be great for other Blankets. I am so grateful to both of you. Once again Lauren thank you for taking part in our project.

Would you like to see your Slide Show Lauren?

We're going to have some great Blankets coming up. Thank you Jenni and Lauren!

Perfect name. The Blue and White is a real stunner.

What happened over at your other blog? It's not working for me. Is it being rehauled for your big day. I know it's soon, as you were right after me.

Youre both most welcome. I love making the Slide Shows. I may be limited soon because the weather is changing, pouring of rain now, and I wont be able to get outside.
Thank you both, great Squares!

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!
