Squares from the UK!

Hello Everyone!

I'm very pleased to show you some Squares that have arrived today, both sets from the UK.

First of all we have Margarets' Squares. Margaret has sent me some pretty Granny Squares. Just look at the lovely colours and can you see the special one? Margaret has sent a Square for our 'Christmas Challenge'. A Granny Square with a Christmas tree on the front made out of trebles. I just love it. Want to have a go?
Please see our Side Bar for the Challenge details.

Margaret here's your Slide Show and thank you very much!

Beautiful - Thank You Margaret!

The other set of Squares I received today are from Linda . They are so....pretty! Many thanks Linda. I love the combination of Colours you have used. Linda has a lovely way of attaching a little yarn, I can always tell they are her Squares! She also sent me a home-made card in with the Squares such an unusual idea. I do hope you will pop over and check her blog out, she also does such a lot of work for Charity.

I've made you a Slide Show Linda, unfortunately it's inside because it's tipping down outside! I hope you enjoy your Slide Show.

Many thanks Linda and Margaret, very nice of both of you.

I'm off now to Crochet, have a good day everyone!

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!
