Squares from the USA!

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm very pleased to be telling you that Lunas' Squares have arrived this morning from the USA! I am always relieved when Squares arrive, although I've had literally hundreds of deliveries and fortunately none have got lost yet! So I have been greeting Lunas' Squares with a bit of early morning photography amongst our English Geraniums!

Early morning photography with Luna's Squares! They are beautiful Luna, thank you!

Thank you so much Luna for the beautiful Squares. Lots of different coloured yarn, pastel colours, variegated yarn, make up beautiful Squares. Some are Grannies, some have other patterns you will see yourselves!

I am also very happy indeed because Luna has taken part in our Olympics Blanket Challenge. I am so pleased to see some Squares coming in for this Challenge. Luna has made a Square with the Olympic Circles in mind and it's fabulous!

Luna has sent a Square for our 'Olympics Blanket'. The Olympic Circles!

I'm delighted Luna you have taken part in our Olympics Challenge. If you have friends in other Countries please do tell them that we need Flags from all over the World for this special Blanket. Thank you.

I have made you a special Slide Show Luna, sit back and enjoy your beautiful Squares!
Thanks so much!

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

I may be back later if any more Squares arrive. Don't forget to go back posts and see what's new!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' on this Sunny morning.

Dear Sue
lovely squares you received from Luna.
Do you have already flag squares from Switzerland? Or can I do some for you?
Your blankets are so amazing and breathtaking!
I can´t stop admire them.
I wish you a nice day.
Kind regards, colette

How beautifull squares and everything.
I have just founded your blog and I am surprised of your doing, I will try to do some squares also, even I am not very good at crocheting yet.
Have a nice day

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!
