American Squares Flying in today!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to SIBOL if you are a new Follower! It's very nice to have you visit us. I do hope you enjoy 'the SIBOL Experience!!' ha.ha.

Today I had two lots of Squares come in from the USA.

Our team blogger 'Luna' has very kindly sent me 6 Squares for Bonfire Night. They are the brightest, firey, explosive Squares you have ever seen! Just take a look at these. Simply wonderful thank you Luna!

shiloandspeiky (USA) Your Squares have arrived! Thank You!

I've put together a little Slide Show for you Luna, sit back and enjoy looking at your Squares!

Aren't they just lovely?

Now Debi Y has also sent me some Squares today! She has tried the papillon gold pattern for the Butterfly Squares but has slightly modified it. Take a look at these, so pretty! I love the colour of the yarn.

Lovely Butterfly Squares! If you want to try, the link to the pattern is over to the right in the side bar. Thank you Jane 'papillon gold' for doing a post on this Square for us.

Debi also sent two Squares which are her own pattern. 'The Squircle pattern' is available on her own blog and I am happy to link you! This is so different, and I just love it. You must try it out.
Here's your Slide Show Debi, enjoy and thank you!

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!
