Squares from the Netherlands and the States today!

Good afternoon Everyone!

Thank you for visiting SIBOL on this wet afternoon in the UK. Too wet today to go outside to take photos I'm afraid..... So I've taken some indoors with my iphone because for some reason I can't find my camera! How can I have the camera memory card on the Kitchen Table with no sign of the camera it baffles me! I also have one of my 'Miss Twins' at home so I'm limited for time these next few weeks. We did have a wicked time yesterday, we went for a make-over and photo shoot. So when I get the photos back I will put them on my 'Mrs Twins' blog for you to have a look at. We had a fantastic time. Getting back to SIBOL.....

Today the post has been busy from the Netherlands. I have had two lots of Squares arrive from Diemie and Marianne. Also Squares from Heather in the States, thank you all so much!

First of all Heather has sent in Squares for our Watermelon Challenge. Squares are gorgeous Heather, thank you. She has used colours which remind her of the fruits. I'm sure you will want to see them now.

Heather (USA) Your Squares have arrived thank you!

Let's have a closer look in Heather's Slide Show!

I'm sorry I couldn't go outside today!

Thank you for the gorgeous Squares Diemie!

Thirdly, I have Squares from Marianne in the Netherlands.

Another beautiful set of interesting Squares.

Marianne (Netherlands) Your Squares have arrived! Thank you!

A grey and pink set of Squares which are a fantastic colour combination I'm sure you will agree. Two Squares for our 'Textured Challenge', A Dutch Flag for our Olympic Blanket and a Flower Square made in the colours of the Dutch Flag. Here's your Slide Show Marianne. I love your Squares thank you so much.

All three sets are superb thank you!

I am busy working on Blankets at the moment and still waiting for Jan Eaton to finally come in,. Thanks for all your previous comments, very much appreciated.

Until next time, bye for now

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!
