More Challenge Squares!

Good Evening Everyone!

I'm very pleased indeed to be showing you some Squares which Emma 'personally hand-delivered!' just a short while ago. I was sorting out my wool and a knock came to the door and it was Emma.

Emma has very kindly made a 'M' for the Olympic Blanket. It has come out beautifully! I love it. If you would like to make a Letter for our Olympic Challenge, there are still some Letters left. Please email me
Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net if anyone else wants to have a go. We are doing a centre-piece for our special Olympic Blanket and I'm gathering Letter Squares! 'O L Y M P I C S L O N D O N 2 0 1 2'.

Please follow the link to read about the Letters.

I also received a gorgeous Flower Square from Emma. This was the Square that Luna was putting up on her blog. Emma has made a wonderful job, it is so pretty. If you would like to have a go at this one, please follow the link once again.

Luna has made a wonderful tutorial with great instructions and pictures.

Simple Squares from the 'Knit Today' magazine have been very popular too. Emma has made two Squares from the pattern I emailed her. If you would like a go please email me Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net
and I will send the pattern by attachment. It is a fun pattern and Emma has used a great combination of colours to make the Square. I am sure you will agree it's so pretty.

It was so nice to meet Emma this afternoon. I quickly showed her one of our Blankets and she also looked at my Crocheting in the Conservatory. She said it was weird 'being here' after seeing my home on my web site! Her Husband was waiting for her so she couldn't really stop but I hope she pops back and has a cup of tea with me.

I really love all your Squares Emma and it was so nice to meet you.

I have made you a Slide Show Emma. You have donated beautiful Squares to SIBOL, thank you so much.

I'm sure the Ladies visiting SIBOL will love Emmas' Squares!

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!
