Squares from the Netherlands today!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I'm just stopping by to show you some Squares that I have had come in today from the Netherlands. Sandra has very kindly sent me her 'Jan Eaton Challenge Square' which is No. 4 'Bobble Diamond'. These Jan Eaton Squares are gorgeous. If you would like to join our Challenge please see the side bar. You are most welcome to join us and there are some Blocks left if you'd like to have a go. We are collecting Squares 1 to 25 out of her 200 Block book (please see to the right) and it's such fun! Then when the 25 have come in I will make them into a Blanket for the Elderly.

Sandra didn't want No. 4 to be travelling on it's own, so she very kindly sent me some other Squares too. I can see she really likes making Bobbles in her Squares. I just love all the colours in these Squares but take a look at the other four Squares too. Beautiful colours, thank you so much. I love them all and I'm pleased you have enjoyed the Challenge with us.

You too Sandra are a 'SIBOLETTE' now! Welcome!

Here's your very own Slide Show and thanks again for taking part.

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!
