Squares fron the UK and the USA!

Good morning to you all,

Thank you for stopping by. I'm very pleased to be showing you these 'beautiful' Squares. They are simply lovely. They are from manda's challenges. I do hope you will pop over to her blog and say hello. I'm sure she'll be very happy if you visit.

Now the Squares, where do I start? Amanda has very kindly sent me some lovely Squares for our Challenges. Two for the Spring Blanket, a Jan Eaton Square which is No. 29. 'Bobble Stripes' I'm sure you will recognise it. Beautiful colours thank you. Also 'Circle of Friends' Square which has come out lovely. A Floral Square and.......a Cup Cake Square. OOh, I do love Cup Cakes! I'm wondering Ladies it's up to you this time. Do you think we could fit a Cup Cake Blanket in? This Square from Amanda is just delightful and I'm really thinking I'd like to do one. I'd be happy to have feedback from you. What do you think? Shall we do one?

A cup cake Square, isn't this just lovely!........ Thanks so much for all the beautiful Squares mandas' challenges!

So pretty!

I'm really thank ful to Amanda for sending me some yarn which will be lovely for the Men's Blankets, I do hope it was spare!! Very sweet of you to think of SIBOL once again.

OOh! I've got to show you these Squares! Here they are! Amanda enjoy your Slide Show and thanks again!

So glad the squares arrived and are suitable. The multi-color is the Jacob's Ladder square in 101 Crochet Squares book #81. The green is from July 5 post at http://normasneedleadventures.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html . It's one of the circle to square things. I know people often wonder about the patterns used so thought I'd let you all know. The other is, of course, the Circle of Friends. Use it for the COF ghan or any other as you most need.

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!

One of the Residents trying one of our Shawls on.

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!
