A Jan Eaton Square flys in from the States!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I'm very pleased to be showing you a Square which has flown in from the USA! The Square is from itty bitty0063. This Square is beautifully made and if you want to have a go yourself, it is Number 67 in the Jan Eaton 200 Crochet Blocks, for Blankets, Throws and Afghans. It's called 'American Beauty'. It's absolutely gorgeous. You know Flower Squares are my absolute favourite and this one is lovely because it's in Red, White and Blue!

itty bitty0063 (USA) Your Jan Eaton (67) 'American Beauty' has arrived! Gorgeous Square a nice big Flower! Thank you very much!

Thank you all very much for the comments on the Squares recently received and indeed the Two Tone Green Blankets. Corien (Netherlands) would like us to do another Two Tone Blanket sometime. Corien which colour would you be thinking of? Would you let me know please?

OOh....it's so nice I'm back blogging. I do hate it when I have trouble with the internet and computer! All is well. Thanks Karin for doing my test post! When Karin managed to post I thought to myself it must be my computer, which is was!

Anyway, I had better keep Mr. Twins happy with a cup of tea, he's busy outside doing a little painting!

Until next time, thanks for visiting me here at 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!

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!
