Squares from USA!

Hi Everyone!

Gosh what an awlful day here in the UK. At 3.30pm this afternoon it was pitch dark, pouring of rain, dreadful. I had some Squares come in this morning and couldn't even go into the Conservatory to take
photos so I've taken a few in the kitchen. Light not particularly good at the moment. (Up-dated now).

roomontheleft USA sent me three Squares this morning. The first one is the Square for the Jan Eaton Challenge. It is No. 6 in the book and it's called 'Textured Bluebells'. Really lovely pattern Marilyn thank you.

roomontheleft! Your Squares have arrived Thank You!

The other two Squares are lovely colours and they are the 'Fisherman's Ring'. So thank you for these also Marilyn! I love the yarn you've used. If you remember Marilyn sent me some the same a few weeks ago.
Very nice of you to forward them on to me, thank you.

Have a good afternoon everyone! Thanks for visiting.

Marilyn is such a sweetie and does great work.

Your bonfire blankets are absolutely stunning! The colors are gorgeous. Bright and beautiful.

Hope the weather is better for you. Best wishes, 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!

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

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!
