Squares from the UK for our New Challenges!

Good Evening Everyone!

Slightly late today, sorry.......

Well today I have received two Squares for our new Challenges. They have both arrived from 'Charlotte' 'Sharky Knows'.

As you probably know I have put some new Challenges out this week on SIBOL CHALLENGES and I'm absolutely amazed because today I have rcceived Squares for a couple of these Challenges. The first one is a most beautiful Square for the Jan Eaton Challenge. This one is No. 69 and it's called 'Fudge'. I love the colours Charlotte has chosen. I'm sure you will want to have a look!

Gorgeous isn't it?

The other one has come in from Charlotte once again and this is for our Winter Wonderland' Challenge. I am requesting Squares made out of 'white yarn' any pattern of your choosing. I'm sure everyone has a bit of white in their stash!

Here's the White Square

Well Charlotte you were definitely on the ball, making and sending out so...quickly! Thanks so much. I really love both of the Squares, but I'm sure you will agree the first one is just so delightful! Lovely Spring colours....

I'm pleased you enjoyed making the Squares Charlotte!

Can I remind you Aishwarya is taking Ladies names' for the SIBOL Swap over on Ravelry on one of the threads, do pop over. Everyone is really enjoying receiving their gifts through the post along with their SIBOL Square exchanges., What fun!

I have also got a few Block Numbers left too for the Jan Eaton Blanket, so do hurry up and claim your Block Number! Pop to SIBOL CHALLENGES first of all, instructions are on there.

Thanks everyone!

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!
