Squares from the UK this morning!

Hello Everyone!

I've had two lots of Squares arrive this morning and I'd very much like you to see them. They are gorgeous!

First of all Mia Self (UK) has very kindly sent me two Squares. They are so....nice!

Mia has very successfully made the 'Circle of Friends' Square in very pale pastel colours pink, green and cream. I do think pastel colours make the Square look so delicate.

Mia Self (UK) 'Circle of Friends' in beautiful pastel colours! So delicate looking! Thank you!

Isn't it pretty? Then she has sent me a Square for the 'Farmyard Challenge'. Now take a look at this. What a good idea! Pretty Flowers and she's crocheted a Farmyard animal. Of course you can guess what it is without me saying! Superb, absolutely gorgeous.

Mia Self (UK) Your Squares have arrived! Thank you! 'Farmyard Challenge'. Gorgeous!

I just love them both thank you Mia Self!

Bunny Mummy very kindly sent me two Squares also for our Challenges. The first one is 'Circle of Friends'. Bunny Mummy has used ten colours in this Square and once again it looks so different. So colourful and it's really nice. I'm so grateful thank you.

Bunny Mummy (UK) 'Circle of Friends' in ten colours! Isn't this pretty? Thank you!

Bunny Mummy also has sent her Square in for the Jan Eaton Challenge. It's No. 39 ' Gavin's Stripes'. This one also is so pretty! Just take a look!

Bunny Mummy (UK) 'Gavins Stripes' No. 39 Jan Eaton, such a pretty Square Thank you!

Thanks to Mia Self and Bunny Mummy for the Squares this morning, both sets are terrific!

Happy Crocheting everyone and do take a look at our Ravelry Group SIBOL!

UP-DATE!

I can't believe I've had a second post today, but glad I did because Bev's Squares have arrived from the UK. She has sent me five Squares all so....pretty.

The first one is actually Jan Eaton No. 72. It's called 'Ribbed Square' Beverley thought this Square would be ideal for our Farmyard Blanket, 'a ploughed field'. I'll be very happy to put this in with out Farmyard Challenge Bev, thank you. A really nice ribbed pattern. I love the shade too. It's lovely thank you.

Also she has sent a Square for our 'Two Tone Green Traditional Granny Square'. I'm just loving this Challenge, it's so nice to see what shades of Green you all have in your 'stash!'. This Square is pretty, a
great colour combination.

Bev (UK) Your Squares have arrived! Thank You!

The other Squares will be useful too, all such wonderful colour combinations. Bev has sent A Square called 'Pastel Delight' it's actually No,. 100 Jan Eaton. Also a Traditional Granny Square in beautiful shades of Pinks and Purples! The last one is for the Spring Blanket Challenge. It's got purple stripes with a Flower absolutely ideal for our Blanket.

It's a pleasure to receive your Squares Bev, thank you so much!

I have now made Mia, Bunny Mummy, and Bev a Slide Show. Sit back and see if you can spot your Square!

Thank you to everyone!

oh where do i begin. these are lovely. the little lamb is too cute. the colours in the gavin square are so pretty, a whole blanket in these colours would be cosy. circle of friends, what beautiful colours in both. gosh its amazing the different colours used totally change the feel of the squares. i love the greens of the two tone square and the pinks and purples. the little flower square is beautiful too. oh gosh, i need to get my hook out and wool sorted. thanks for sharing.

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!
