Ta Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 53

Hi again Everyone!

I'm back quicker than what I thought........ I have a Ta - Dah for you! SIBOL No. 53, but first please don't forget to check out Pattyglorias' Squares and Bonsalls on the previous post. They simply are gorgeous!

I am very pleased to say that I have finished No. 53. I love the colours in this Blanket. These Squares were saved in my Mens Challenge pile, but I suppose it could be for a Lady too. Men like brighter colours don't they? I had great fun putting these Squares together. I loved the yarn I was working with so...much. The White yarn to edge them with was donated by itty_bitty. It was Caron (USA) such fun to work with. Thank You itty_bitty!

Here goes. SIBOL No. 53.

'Please add note if you see your Square!'

I can't believe I've made over 50 'Sunshine Blankets' now!
Thanks to everyone that has kindly contributed Squares.

Oooh I think this must be my new favourite.
I love the colours and it just goes to show you can take a "plain" square and it looks SO GOOD with the others, just by choosing a special coloured wool. I always love the way you layout the squares, looks like it needs a name though. what about purple parade?

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!
