Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 73 - 'Endless Summer Flowers'.

I'm just loving the colours in this Blanket.

Good Evening Everyone!

I'm very happy to be showing you my 73rd Ta - Dah this evening. It's called 'Endless Summer Flowers' and has been named by Marilyn. Thank you! I've been trying to get some decent photos outside, but it's rather difficult when the sun is belting down on our 'south facing' patio. It was so hot
out there today. So I went back out there about 5 o'clock to try again.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed Squares for this Blanket. I have thoroughly enjoyed making it up. I still get such a buzz even though I've made so many! I just love the colours in this Blanket. I have tried to use the same colours in the border as in Maree's Flower Squares which are the two Squares each side of the middle Square. They are my favourite colours and actually the same ones in the throw I made a while back in my Conservatory.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed Squares for this Blanket. 'Please add note' if you see your own Square.

If you see your Square click on this photo and pop over to Flickr. I would love you to 'add note' on your Square!

I hope you like it. The Squares were amazing! I appreciate each and every one of them thank you!

The ribbon was supplied by Puppet Lady.
The Flowers by Chalky 75.
The Butterflies by Anakat.
The Squares by you, thank you!

Bye for now thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today!

Your 73rd blanket! And what a beauty it is. Anybody seeing your squares here, well-done!
Sue, you are an artist to put these squares together and put that border around it.
Well-done you!

Very pretty Sue!

I have some (4) squares for the watermelon challenge all done and packaged up for you; just need to make a trip to the post office (hopefully by the end of the week). :-)

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!
