Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No.55. Squares from the UK!

Good Morning Everyone!

Friday has come around so quickly!!!! I've had a busy week with the gorgeous Squares that have been coming my way! Today I received Louises' Squares for the Royal Wedding Challenge. They are so lovely!! Some really beautiful Squares have arrived in the week for this Challenge and all I want to say is please.....keep them coming! March 18th is the deadline for the Royal Wedding Challenge.

Louise has used the Union Jack on one Square and the other one she has a picture of a Crown. But she has also sent some lovely Squares for the Farmyard Challenge and the Spring Challenge. I'm sure you'll want to take a look, here goes......

lulabelle1967 Your Squares have arrived! Thank You!

Not only has Louise sent in Squares but she's also returned the Blanket that she kindly made up for me. I'm sure you 'll agree she has made a wonderful job, and the method of flat braiding the Squares together has worked out a treat! Louise has chosen one of the names given by my visitors to SIBOL. Congratulations Renee, Louise has chosen your beautiful name 'Flowers for Florence'. Thank you!

Here is your Slide Show Louise, Enjoy!

Please don't forget to enter my Giveaway if you are a 'SIBOLETTE' which means you have sent me a Square for SIBOL. Please pop over to Ravelry and leave
'Hi Sue, please enter me in your Giveaway!'

The Giveaway will close mid-night 27th February with winners announced 28th February (our SIBOL ANNIVERSARY) !! Best of luck everyone!

Thanks so much for visiting SIBOL today, I hope Louise has given you some inspiration and you'll have a go at making a Square for the Royal Wedding Challenge. Squares must be in to me by 18th March. I'll be very happy to receive your Squares.

Have a good weekend, and I'll probably be back tomorrow if any more new Squares arrive.

I am so glad Louise liked my suggestion for the blanket. Sometimes the first thing that pops into my head, IS the best thing! LOL.

Renee :)

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!

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!
