Beautiful Grannies from Mexico!

Hello Everyone!

I'm so....excited today! I have received my first SIBOL Squares from Mexico! What about that! Fantastic isn't it? That's the power of the internet for you!

The Squares have come in from Ana in Mexico. Ana thank you so much! I am very pleased to receive your Squares! Ana has sent me four Granny Squares and the colour combination she has used is just superb! I have just been out into my Garden and I have been playing with Ana's Squares! I've taken some photographs of the Squares amongst my Flowers.

I'm really grateful to you Ana and I do hope you enjoyed making them. Let's take a look at these beauties now!

Ana (Mexico!) Your Squares have arrived! Thank You!

I have also made you a Slide Show to say 'thank you!'. :)

I hope you enjoyed watching Ana's Squares!

Just to remind anyone.... Our Challenges are over on our other web site. 'SIBOL CHALLENGES'.

Thanks for popping in to SIBOL today and thank you Ana I love your Squares! I hope you enjoyed your very own Slide Show!

x Sue x

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!
