A surprise for SIBOL!!!!!!! Good News! Good News!' / Updated....Squares from UK!

Hi Everyone!

Just popping in quickly to tell you some good news!

On Friday I was approached by Yahoo! I know Yahoo!
This is what they wrote to me......

Hi Sue,

Hope you don't mind me contacting you, I’ve sent you this message on Flickr Mail too.

I work on the PR team for Yahoo! UK (which I'm sure you're aware Flickr is part of), and we're setting up a group called The People's Royal Wedding Album, which we hope will capture what people are doing for the upcoming Royal Wedding.

We came across the photo you've uploaded of your Royal Wedding Blanket -

We think it's absolutely brilliant, and wondered whether you would mind us using it to promote the group? Unlike normal groups, our group will feature a creative header banner, much like the banner on this one -
http://www.flickr.com/groups/momentsofmotherhood/

We'd like to use your photo for the banner. Obviously it will be credited, and there will be links through to both the original photo and your profile, so it should be good promotion for your pictures and ultimately your blog.

The group will be promoted through national UK press, as well as on the official Flickr blog, and possibly across the Yahoo! UK site too.

Hope to hear from you soon as we would like to launch the group very soon!

Best regards,
Ian McKee
Social Media Account Manager

It's gone live today! Pop and have a look! Thanks SIBOLETTES!

I also had some really pretty Squares come in today from Pippa S. (UK). Pippa has sent 'Bright Flower' Jan Eaton (51) for our Challenge. There are a few blocks still available. Pop over to SIBOL RAV Group if you want to join us!

Jan Eaton (51) 'Bright Flower'. Gorgeous Square Pippa thank you!

Pippa your Jan Eaton Square is gorgeous. Beautiful bright colours for this Square, so pretty! The other Flower Squares too will be brilliant for SIBOL, many thanks to you! I'm sure everyone loves them!

Great Flower Squares for SIBOL. Thank you so much!

Well done everyone! We've had a fantastic day with 'Yahoo' today - thank you and we've also received lovely Squares from Pippa, what could be nicer!

Bye for now

x Sue x

Well done Sue and all the sibolettes! You truly deserve recognition for all the effort and hard work that goes into the blankets. The Royal Wedding Blanket was inspired and I'm so pleased for you. You must be chuffed to bits!

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!
