Squares for our Spring Challenge arrive from Canada!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

It's always lovely to welcome new 'SIBOLETTES!'. misscitah has now joined our 'SIBOL' Group and
I'm very pleased to be showing you some Squares that have come all the way from Canada today. misscitah (RAV) has very kindly sent them for our 'Spring Challenge' which has to end, at the end of April. So if you haven't got your Squares in there is still a bit of time. We've had some lovely ideas for this Challenge (as we always do I have to add) and it's just so lovely to see what you come up with There is something about these 'picture Squares' that we make for SIBOL. It definitely makes you use your imagination!

One of these Squares is my absolute favourite, I just love this Ladybird! I expect you want to see!

Just look at this cute Ladybird Square! For our Spring Challenge.

I think it's really good, but so are the others. Here they are in 'misscitah's Slide Show'. Sit back and enjoy!

Blanket wise....I'm just doing the final rows on the border on the second 'Jan Eaton' Blanket. So it won't be long before I have a Ta - Dah! Then perhaps we will announce the next part of the Jan Eaton Challenge which will be Blocks 51 to 75.

I'm very pleased to be telling you also that our Royal Wedding Blanket has safely arrived at it's destination and it has been received very well. Great British Yarns tell me they were 'thrilled' to receive it and it was very much apreciated. So thank you Ladies! I'll be keeping you posted. Thanks everyone!

I'll leave you looking at some of the Royal Wedding Squares! Enjoy!

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!
