Squares from the UK and a SIBOL Bunny!

Good Evening Everyone!

Today I had some beautiful Squares arrive from mandas'challenges. Thank you Amanda.

But not only did I have Squares arrive, Amanda also sent me a beautiful little 'SIBOL' Bunny 'Flora'. If you look closely you will see a little 'SIBOL' Butterfly! How cute thank you. You have made it beautifully what a surprise today!

Amanda very kindly made 'Luna's' Square which is gorgeous, six 'Knit Today' Squares and three other Flower Squares which are just so nice too! I love all the Squares Amanda.

The link to Luna's Square is over on the right hand side of the Blog and if you would like the Knit Today pattern please email me sueatpigsty@talktak.net I'd be very happy to send it to you.

Amanda is also helping me out with a SIBOL Blanket. She is making a Snowman Throw for me while I'm busy making the Challenges up and if you'd like to put your name down for a Square please follow the link over to Ravelry. You will need to sign up for this one. Spaces are limited, so act quickly, thank you.

Amanda I've made you a small Slide Show, thank you so much for the surprise Bunny and beautiful Squares.

Have a lovely evening everyone! Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today!

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!
