Message from the 'Queen of SIBOL!'

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Well before we carry on, I have a few words to say.....

Please go to Flickr!

What fun!

I tried putting my message on here, but the music is drowning me out. Click on the link and visit me on Flickr! Go through the stream too and please 'add note' on your Square. The Blanket hanging on the tree! Most important!

I have to say thanks to everyone that has contributed the most beautiful Squares especially for our 'Royal Wedding' Blanket. I've had a ball making these Squares up. It was such an enjoyable Challenge!

I received such a variety of Squares and it was just so...interesting to see what you all came up with. We've had Doves, Wedding Bells, Hearts, Westminster Abbey, Hearts, Initials to name a few. It always amazes me that when I put a Challenge out to you, you take everything on board and really use your imagination! The Squares have arrived from all over the World, as far as the States and Canada, Europe and Australia! Lots of places in between Belgium, France, the Netherlands. Simply wonderful how we have all come together for this marvellous Challenge. The power of the internet!
I do hope you enjoy looking at the video on Flickr and I hope you like the Blanket.

What fun I've had with these Squares! Such variety!

and here's my special Slide Show! Sit back and enjoy and once again thank you!

We've had a bit of fun today! Thanks so much for visiting 'SIBOL!'

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!
