Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 26 'Blue and White' theme 2.

Good Evening Everyone!

Its' 10.40pm Saturday evening. I know I am good aren't I? Doing SIBOL work on a Saturday evening! I just had to load up my photos on Flickr and make you a Slide Show because today I finished SIBOL No. 26! We've just got back from our favourite Curry house and I thought I'd post this before bed for you.

Well I have to say I have had such a lot of fun once again making this Blanket. Your Squares are just so delightful to work with. They really are a pleasure and I enjoy it so much. This Blanket doesn't look much
different to the last one. I have been using some white yarn which I have plenty of, but the special thing about this one is the edging was crocheted with home-dyed yarn from The Garden Bell. Thank you so much
Kate for the donation of yarn it is so nice to work with and the colours were spot on!

I went outside just after Mr. Twins cut the grass today. The Garden is looking much tidier now even though my Flowers have gone off now, which is a real shame. I planted up some pink tulips today in my Dads' wheelbarrow and my Grandmothers old metal bowl which I now use for planters. So I'm hopefully going to get something to show you in the Spring.

Here's my Slide Show, sit back and enjoy the latest Blanket. Thank you so much for the wonderful Squares I really do appreciate each one!

I would like to thank all our new Followers, it's such a pleasure to have you on board! Enjoy your Weekend everyone!

Blue is my favorite color and the mix of blues on this blanket with the white is absolutely gorgeous. Such wonderful work you are doing. God bless you. Have a great rest of the week. :) Tammy

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!
