Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 54. 'The Young At Heart' Blanket.

Thanks so much for these pretty Squares everyone!

Hi Everyone!

Thanks everyone for your comments on the Squares received on Wednesday. They were so pretty weren't they? Also for the kind comments on my neices' drawing of my Grandmother. If you haven't seen it please go back a post.

Now I have a Ta - Dah! for you. 'The Young At Heart' Blanket is finished and I would like to show it to you. What fun I had with these Squares. Such wonderful ideas from you all. I always say this but it always amazes me when I put a Challenge out, how you all take it on board and do your very best to make such brilliant Squares! This Blanket was such a fun one to do. Lots of Childhood memories on this one, Skipping Rope, Swings, Footballs, Teddy Bears, Ice Creams etc., All brilliant ideas.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed these 'fun' Squares for SIBOL! 'Please add note if you see your Square!'

If you haven't read about the 'Royal Wedding' Challenge please go back posts and have a read. I wouldn't want you to miss out on the Challenge.

I'll leave you with my Slide Show. I'll probably be back later on in the day with new Squares!

What a fun blanket! You did a terrific job. Some of the squares are so elaborate; the little boy with the ball and the girl holding a flower; so neat. Have a wonderful evening Mrs. Twins. :-)

such a conversation piece, the squares are great on their own, but together they are fantabulous

Hi, I've just discovered your blog and I think is lovely! I love crocheting blakets, and I've just started my own blog. http://ganchillocongancho.blogspot.com/ It's in Spanish but if you need any instruction please let me know. Best regards!! Alba.

Love, love, love this blanket! I know I say this every time I drop by but honestly I am just soooooo amazed at all the creative crocheters out there! Absolutely amazing and beautiful work and so very inspiring indeed. I was gonna start some small cross-stich projects but now I am feeling the need to crochet again. :) Wishing you a most wonderful day. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do and for sharing with us. Blessings, Tammy

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!
