Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 43 'Strawberries and Cream' theme 3/4

Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 43! '3/4' 'Strawberry and Cream' Challenge.

Hello Everyone!

Thanks so much for the great comments of rebekka's goodies 50 Squares!. They were beautiful Squares and I'm pleased you liked the Blankets I made with them.

I have a Ta - Dah for you today! Yes another one! Now first of all I have to say I am working on the Jan Eaton Blanket so please bear with me. The squares did actually come in various sizes so I am having to do extra work on it. Now this Blanket is No. 3 of 4 'Strawberry and Cream' Challenge. I am desperately trying to get this set of 4 finished so I can take them along to the Nursing Homes. I then will devote more time to the Jan Eaton one. I know you are all longing to make a Square in the next 26 to 50 but I need to get the first Jan Eaton one finished before I accept any more Squares for Jan Eaton. I want to see how it works out.

As usual the Squares in the 'Strawberry and Cream' Challenge are just perfect. I went outside this morning and had 'Strawberries and Cream' with cupcakes in the snow! It was bitterly cold out there. I must be mad!!!

Thank you all so much for these Squares. They are really nice. As I say there is one more to do, and I will be trying to get that one finished as soon as I can. I really want to get this set finished so I can give them out.
I hope you understand.

So here our SIBOL No. 43 'Slide Show' enjoy!

......I hope you like it. Thanks again!

Keep warm everyone!

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!

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!
