Saturday Square from the UK!

Good morning,

Welcome to 'SIBOL' on a Saturday!

One Square to show you today. Beverley (UK) has very kindly sent in a 'Two of A Kind' Square. Beautiful hearts adorn this Square, a really good idea. I love it.

Beverley (UK) 'Two of a Kind' Square has arrived today! Thank you!

If anyone wants to know what Squares I need please pop over to our SIBOL CHALLENGE web site.
I am busy trying to get the Challenge Blankets made up now.

I wonder if I could ask a favour. If any of my SIBOLETTES are visiting our web site today, and you might just have a little time on your hands and could possibly help me out making a special Square for a special project. Would you please pop over to our Ravelry discussion Board. I'll give you the link. I would just be so grateful to you. If you are interested after reading, could you put a note up on the RAV discussion thread or could you email me please Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net to tell me you are interested.

Of course it doesn't have to be one of my SIBOLETTES, it could be anyone visiting me today. You are most welcome to help if you think you have a little time to make a special Square.

Thank you so much!

I really want to sit down today and do my Blankets but I also have photos to take outside. It's all go here at 'Two Times' let's see what I manage to get done.

Have a good weekend everyone!
Thank you so much for your comments as usual and for visiting 'SIBOL' today!

Dear Sue,
WHat a great idea...it looks like she made a square and then sewed the two hearts on it. And those colors really pop! Well done, Beverley!
Have a great weekend, Sue!

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!

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!
