Squares! Squares! Squares! Squares! UK and the Netherlands!

Hi Everyone!

Well a busy day here in 'Two Times'. Thank you for the gorgeous Squares received this morning!

I've had four lots of Squares arrive today from the UK and the Netherlands. Who shall we start with????
I know let's have a look at Crochet3love (Flickr). She has sent some lovely Squares in today. One for our Spring Challenge and the other for our 'Young At Heart' Challenge.

Crochet3love (UK) Your Squares arrived today! Thank You!

Such pretty Squares they are just lovely. The Handbag has been left open to put a little gift in what a wonderful idea! The other a little Chick is so cute because he has a little wing that flaps out and the flowers are just so beautiful. That one is for our 'Spring Challenge' Thank you very much Crochet3love.

The next two are from Kim. (UK) Do pop over to her blog and say hello. Kim has made a Square for the 'Jan Eaton Challenge'. It's the 'Christmas Rose' Square and it's No. 28 if you want to have a go at it. The other one is a two tone Green Square. This is a lovely pattern. Both Squares are lovely Kim thanks so much!

bonsall (Flickr) (UK) has sent me some Squares today which are in pretty colours. I just love the colours she has chosen to make her Squares. She has used textured yarn too which makes them look so different. We've also got 2 Farmyard Squares. One is a cat and the other one is a cute piggie! Just have a look at these Squares. I'm sure you'll like them.

Such pretty Squares don't you think? I love the colours!

Then we cross over to the Netherlands to Sandra. Sandra has been working very hard for SIBOL and has sent 10 Squares! All so different and they are just lovely. Squares for our 'Two Tone Green Granny' and a 'Circle of Friends' Square. Such a pretty 'Jan Eaton' Square too, it's No. 46 and this one is called 'Meadow'. I love the colours you have chosen to make the Square up Sandra. Another Square towards our Flower collection. You will probably recognise it. 'Dahlia' another Jan Eaton. Great selection of Squares Sandra. I'm going to have fun with these. Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to put these together for us.

Well you've certainly been keeping me busy today! Thank you all so much. They are all absolutely wonderful, I'm sure you will agree. I have made a Slide Show but I have made a joint one if that's okay. It does take a lot of time and I've had a lot of Squares today. I do hope you all enjoy looking at 'Squares from the UK and the Netherlands'.

Thanks for visiting SIBOL today.

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

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!
