Squares from the UK arrive today!

Hello Everyone!

Having a nice Saturday? It's a lovely morning and I'm so excited to be showing you these beautiful Squares from Joyce28 in the UK.

We have a lot of Crocheted Squares but it's always so nice to receive Knitted ones too! Joyce28 has very kindly sent me a wonderful selection of Squares. They are just so lovely! Joyce28 has been busy knitting for a few of our Challenges as you will see. She's made a lovely Christmas tree for our 'Christmas Challenge' along with a Square which I think has a 'modern' design. Also two great Squares for our 'Bonfire Challenge'. The Squares are just perfect. Also two for our 'Black and White' Challenge. I don't want to say anymore I want you to see them for yourselves!

I am so pleased you enjoy visiting us here on SIBOL Joyce28 and that you enjoy our Challenges. Our Challenges will be coming to an end soon. I think this will give you time for your Christmas crafting. We will
still have the Jan Eaton one running though and I will still be accepting other Squares you might want to make but the actual Challenges will be stopping until next year. I will be needing ideas for other Challenges so if you can think of any please let me know.

I'm babbling again. I bet you can't wait to see the Squares from Joyce28. So here goes.....

Joyce28 I am showcasing your beautiful Squares thank you so....much. I love them. I'm sure everyone else will.

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!
