Squares from the UK and Sweden!

Hello Everyone!

I do hope you will go back to the previous post. I have been experiencing problems on here, but I'm pleased to say I am 'fully restored!'. I'm trying to catch up with myself this evening, I have lots of Squares to show you and two new SIBOLS! You will see them if you go back a post, thank you!

Today I had an early post around 8.00am. I received beautiful Grannies from Linda and her Mum (Sweden/UK). The Grannies were gorgeous, colours Navy and Blue. Grannies are so useful to me, yes of course I can use them as 'fillers' but they also make beautiful Blankets on their own. I'm always so happy to receive them. Linda was very kind she enclosed some ribbon which she had spare and a delightful tiny cupcake she had made. These Squares would be ideal for a Man, don't you think?

Linda & Mum (Sweden/UK) Your Squares have arrived. Thank you!

Thank you Linda and her Mum! I've made you a Slide Show! Enjoy!

Then a second post came around 1.00pm. It was from Pippa (UK) this time. She had sent two Squares
for the 'Winter Wonderland' Challenge and some Grannies too! It must be Grannies Day! I thought of putting these Squares with Linda's, I'm sure they will make a lovely Blanket together! Lovely Squares thank you very much Pippa!

Pippa (UK) Your Squares have arrived today! Thank you!

Thanks to Linda, Her Mum and Pippa for fantastic Squares today! Thank you for visiting 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!

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!
