Squares for our new Challenges arrive today! UK.

Hello Everyone!

I've received a very good response to my new Challenges, thank you so much! I had a few sleepless nights over them I have to admit. But I'm pleased now we have agreed on the 'Circle of Friends' Challenge in particular.

Thank you to everyone that has emailed me with Block Numbers for Jan Eaton, and also a space in our 'Circle of Friends' Blanket. This Blanket was first of all suggested by Marilyn (roomontheleft) on Flickr and I thought it was such a good idea. A 'Circle of Friends' so appropriate for our Group!

I do hope you will keep checking SIBOL, because very soon I have an announcement!

But first I would like to thank Pippa very much for the Squares which I have received today!

Pippa has very kindly made us Jan Eaton Block Number 35. This one is called 'Tricolour Square'. I love the shades of pink she has used. OOh how I love pink.... It's so pretty. Pippa has tagged it too, as I suggested. Thank you. I think this is such a good idea. Not only does it save me time, it's easier to sort when they come in.

Here's Pippa's 'Tricolour Square'.

Square for Jan Eaton Challenge. No. 35 'Tricolour Square'. Gorgeous pattern and colours! Thank you!

and also......'Two Tone Green Granny Squares'.

Two Tone Green Granny Squares for our SIBOL Challenge. Aren't these Squares lovely? Thank you!

Pippa has used a darker shade of Green on the left Square, a nice contrast to the Lime Green. I think the other Square is lovely too. Nice to have them both different, but of course you don't have to! I love Granny Squares. I think our Two Tone Green Granny Square Blanket will be quite interesting!

Thank you so much Pippa for the three Squares received this morning, the lovely tags, and the lovely letter too! I'm so pleased you are enjoying our Challenges.

Pippa - Your Squares arrived today! Thank you!

It's just a shame the light is dreadful today. We have had snow this morning and then rain and the morning has been quite miserable. These Squares have definitely brightened my day up, many thanks Pippa!

Have a good day 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!
