Squares from Spain and Belgium!

Good afternoon Everyone!

I'm very pleased to be showing you three lots of Squares which have arrived today.

The first set from 'Sandra' in Belgium. I'm very pleased to say Sandra has been making Squares for our Challenges and I'm sure you will agree they are gorgeous. Squares for the 'Two Tone Blue', 'Cup Cake' and 'Grow me a Garden'. Would you like to see? Let's have a look at the Cupcake Square first. Please visit her blog

Beautiful Square for our 'Cup Cake' Challenge.

You will see the others in the Slide Show I have made for Sandra.

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

Pretty aren't they? Thank you Sandra.

Next we have Squares from Alhana and her Mother in Spain. I'm really so grateful to you for these Squares. Yes I agree they will be perfect for the Men's Blankets. I just love these colours reminding me of Autumn, which will be approaching very soon! It's very nice of you both to think of SIBOL!

Alhana and your Mother, I have made you a Slide Show, enjoy your Squares and thank you so much!

Thirdly, we have Merchy from Spain. Merchy has very kindly sent her Jan Eaton Block which is Number 54 'Framed Flower'. This is just so pretty with the colour combination used. I love it. I had to go outside and put it amongst my Flowers. Thank you also for the Ribbon and yarn Merchy, it will be so useful for the Blankets.

These are such beautiful squares! It must be like Christmas for you opening these packages from the postman! (Yes, I know they are not for you PERSONALLY, but you know what I mean, it must still be exciting, yes?) Love those "MAN" colors and the beautiful blue combo. AS ALWAYS< just beautiful!

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!
