Squares from Austria today and also Spain this afternoon!

Hello Everyone,

The weekend is nearly here. The weeks seem to fly by. I hope you are all doing something special for the weekend.

Today I am very happy to show you Squares which have arrived this morning from my friend Susanna. Susanna lives in Austria. Susanna doesn't have a blog as yet, but I do hope one day she decides to make one. She Knits and Crochets beautifully and always makes such a variety of gorgeous items.

Her Squares are going to be great for our Challenges coming up. One little Square is just perfect for our Sea/Seaside Challenge I just love it. See if you can find it? The other Squares will be lovely for our Mens' Blankets, gorgeous colour combinations and great patterns.

Thank you so much Susanna for the Squares it's very nice of you to take part in our project.

Susanna make yourself a coffee, sit back now and enjoy your Slide Show and Thank You!

Did you spot the fish? So cute, I love it. I love them all though.

I had a second post at lunchtime. Squares from Spain! Yes, Miren sent them to me. I am so happy Miren is taking part in our project. Her Squares are very nice. The Green ones I think will be great for our Men's Blankets. It's so nice to see the variety of Squares everyone is coming up with. These are simply perfect!
I have had trouble lately taking some nice photos outside because we have had nothing but rain today! But I
popped out quickly to lay them on my bench.

Thank you so much Miren! Here's your Slide Show!
Have a good weekend everyone!

Hi Sue.. it's been awhile since I've come to visit, so sorry for the long delay. I may have to do up some Christmas squares, as that is my favorite holiday and I have a stash of those colors I need to use. Hope all is well with you and yours, and that you have a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Sandy

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!
