Squares from Germany and the UK for the Olympics!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to 'SIBOL' today!

Before I start my post, is anyone else having trouble with 'signing in and commenting' these last few days? Some blogs you can leave a comment, some you can't. I can't even leave a comment on my own blog. It is so annoying, and not at all reliable these days. So.....frustrating!

Today 'Germany' seems to be popular on SIBOL. I have had some Squares arrive from Crissi who lives in Germany. I am very pleased to be showing you her Squares today. Crissi has made such a lot of beautiful Squares for SIBOL and I would like to share them with you.

Crissi has been working very hard for our 'Olympic Blanket' and she has made some lovely Squares in the colours of the German Flag. Now take a look at these beauties!

The Colours of the German Flag are superb for our 'Olympics Blanket'.

Perfect Squares Crissi! I think they will look great in our Olympics Blanket. Crissi has also made some more Squares for our 'Sunshine Blankets' and if you would like to have a look at them they are in Crissi's Slide Show coming up.

I love your Squares Crissi, thank you for sending them to me here in the UK and also thank you for everything else that was inside your box. Very much appreciated, thank you!

I am also very pleased to be telling you that Laura here in the UK sent some Squares to me this morning. One Square for our new Challenge 'Two Tone Blue' and also two Squares for our 'Olympic Blanket'. One is a brilliant Olympic Torch and the other is the Flag of Germany so Crissi may be interested in looking at this one too!

I think they are fantastic too Laura, I'm so pleased you are enjoying our Challenges. Laura in fact suggested doing a Two Tone Blue Blanket. She also has lots of other ideas for our Challenges but I think now we will have to get down the ones that we have running at the moment. But I will definitely keep them in mind.

Here are Laura's Olympic Squares and Two Tone Blue Square. Thank you so much for sending them in to me Laura, very much appreciated.

Your Slide Show Laura!

Thank you for visiting SIBOL today, I hope you enjoyed looking at the Squares.

Hi Sue,
I am very happy that you like the Grannys. You write, you can not comment on today, maybe I'm a help. Remove "Remember Me" on the hook, it helped me. I hope you understand me.
Have a nice day and best regards
Crissi

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!
