'A special SIBOL Square!

Hello Everyone!

Another wet miserable day here in the UK today. Nevermind....

Here are some pretty Squares.... Now there is a Story behind one of these Squares. ATheeC (Flickr) (Tinka) was inspired to pick up her Crocheting hook after 15 years when she found the SIBOL Blog, simply amazing!
Her two Daughters started watching her and asked her to teach them. Well...I am so pleased to be showing you a Square which ATheeC's younger Daughter has made. I am absolutely over the moon. I have several 'Mothers and Daughters' who crochet for SIBOL and I just think that is so nice. ATheeC's other Daughter is left-handed. Kate is back off holiday now so I am sure she would be able to give you some good advice if you need it. Here is her Daughters contribution to SIBOL!

There is a lovely story behind this Square. See below.

Isn't it just so good! Thank you so much. I am very pleased to say you are now a 'SIBOLETTE!'.

I am of course most grateful for ATheeC's Squares too! They are gorgeous. Look how she has labelled all these gorgeous Squares. Our labelling seems to be taking off I think. This does help me when I'm sorting the Squares out and makes it so much easier! Wonderful Squares for our Challenges. All fantastic. ATheeC also made her very first 'African Flower' Square. Thanks to the Diagram pattern of pertinitaco!

I would also like to show you the beautiful handmade card that ATheeC sent to me. Isn't it just lovely? Strange it's all blue and white!

I do hope you will both enjoy your very own Slide Show now. Thank you to both of you.

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

Have a good day!

P.S. Thank you to our 200th Follower Today! Welcome! and of course our other ones too!

My only advice is hang in there and flip your brain. Soon, you will be better than all those righties out there. I also watched tons of YouTube Leftie videos when starting out. I promise it will come.

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!

One of the Residents trying one of our Shawls on.

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!
