Squares from the Netherlands.

Good afternoon everyone!

Thank you for visiting SIBOL this afternoon.

I am very pleased to welcome 'Marianne' from the Netherlands to our Group. You are now one of our famous 'SIBOLETTES' Marianne!

Marianne has very kindly sent SIBOL two lots of gorgeous Squares. I can see she has been reading the SIBOL CHALLENGE web site because she has made Squares for our 'Winter Wonderland' Challenge which are purely white Squares and she has also sent some Squares for the 'Grow me a Garden' Challenge.
I particularly love the shade of Green she has used in the Flower Squares.

I had doubts initially about doing a Winter Wonderland Blanket, but it's really nice to see such variety of patterns coming in for this one.

Look at these different patterns for our 'Winter Wonderland' Challenge, gorgeous Squares!

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

Thank you so much Marianne, I really do appreciate your help and I am so pleased you enjoyed doing them.

May I thank everyone for your wonderful support over the last couple of days, I cannot thank you enough.

Well I'm off now to enjoy the Sunshine. It's so hot this afternoon here in the UK!

Enjoy your weekend. I'll chat again tomorrow if I have any more Squares arrive and thank you for visiting 'SIBOL' today.

UPDATE FOR JOYCE 28.

Joyce you were enquiring about the Flags for the Olympic Blanket. Yes of course feel free to make Flags of other Countries if you want to, that would be lovely! As long as the Country is taking part in the Olympic Games that would be wonderful! Thank you very much.

Have a good weekend! x

Sue, they are lovely squares from Marianne. Can't wait to see a "winter wonderland" blanket. I am sure it will be spectacular as usual. All the effort you put in to SIBOL is so much appreciated. Happy days and enjoy all the sunshine you can.

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!
