Squares from the Netherlands.

Good evening Everyone!

I have been trying to leave Louise a comment on her visit to the show, but I'm still unable. Thanks so much Louise for the great post, I am so glad you enjoyed yourself at the Creative Stitches and Hobbycraft in Liverpool.

Is anyone else having problems with Blogger? I'm having trouble signing in on other Blogs as well as leaving a comment on here. (For Louise).

I had an email today from 'Knit Today' and I'm very pleased to be telling you that they are going to write an article in their Charity column about our Royal Wedding Blanket, so I'm very pleased. It will be in the July issue and I'll let you know when it's in.

Today I had some gorgeous Squares arrive from the Netherlands. Diemie has very kindly sent her first SIBOL Squares! Welcome to our group Diemie. You are now one of our 'SIBOLETTES!'.

Such pretty Squares, beautiful colour combinations, I just love them and I am very grateful to you.

Diemie (Netherlands) Your Squares have arrived! Thank You!

I've made you a Slide Show Diemie, sit back and enjoy!

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

Thank you for sending them to SIBOL Diemie!

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!
