Squares from the UK!

Good afternoon Everyone!

It's such a lovely afternoon here in the UK. Sun is shining and it's reasonably mild.

I've had some lovely Squares come in at lunch time, they have been sent by Rainbow Ribbon (Rav) here in the UK. A great selection of Squares in beautiful colours. I particularly like the Flower Squares they are gorgeous, so delicate looking.

Rainbow Ribbon (UK) Your Squares arrived today! Thank You!

I've made you a Slide Show Rainbow Ribbon, Enjoy! Thank you so much for your SIBOL contribution.

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

Can I also remind you about the Farm Challenge and the Spring Challenge. If you would like some inspiration please pop over to Kim's blog. She has made the cutest Squares! Absolutely gorgeous!

Not forgetting our 'special project' and you all know what that is! 'Our Royal Wedding' Challenge.
If you are doing initials on a Square please use 'W' and 'K' although Kate's correct name is Catherine! As it was pointed out to me yesterday by Joyce28 for which I am most grateful. Like she said we all have to be consistent in the initials we use.

Have fun with these Challenges everyone! I am still waiting Jan Eaton and Circle of Friends, I can't proceed any further until I have these in. Thank you 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!
