Olympic Squares !!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Thank you for visiting SIBOL today!

I am so pleased to be showcasing some Olympic Squares which have arrived here today. They are from joyce28 here in the UK. These Olympic Squares are just amazing! Sorry I keep using that word. But they are!

joyce28 comes up with some fabulous ideas and amongst her Olympic Squares she has made some Squares with London in mind, which I think is a brilliant idea.

So let's hop on that Bus and go to the Olympics! Tickets please! :)

Everyone on the bus! We're off to the Olympics!

Let's have a look at some of the Olympic Sports, we have Table Tennis and Archery!

We also have Paralympic Sports Archery and Fencing.

joyce28 has also made the Paralympic Flag! Another good idea.

A few days ago I asked if anyone wanted to make Letters for our Olympic Blanket. We are going to try and do a centrepiece O L Y M P I C S L O N D O N 2 012.

joyce28 has decided to make the '2' in 2012. It's turned out beautifully!

'2' in 2012 for the Olympic Blanket, great thank you!

If you would like to make a 6" Square Crocheted or Knitted with a Letter on, please follow the link over to Ravelry.

Now it's time for some Sight-Seeing, off we go again!

'London' Squares for our Olympic Blanket.

What brilliant Squares! Changing the Guards at Buckingham Palace, London Underground and of course our London Bus!

What fun! Would you like to make a Square for the Olympic Blanket? Please follow the link over to SIBOL CHALLENGES and read all about our Challenge.

joyce28, your Square donation for SIBOL has once again been so inspiring! Thank you so much for everything you put into these gorgeous Squares. I'm not a Knitter, but I imagine you have to work everything out on paper before even picking up your Knitting Needles. I just wouldn't have a clue where to start with something like this!

I can never thank you enough for your hard work on behalf of SIBOL!

I would like to say that we are having a SIBOL Giveaway over on Ravelry. If you have sent me a Square you are eligible to enter. So please follow the link.

If you are interested in joining our SIBOL SWAP Group on Rav once again follow the link. The Ladies are swapping beautiful Squares and gifts. Why not join in the fun?

I've had a few new enquiries this week about our Group which is nice. It's always a pleasure to meet new Ladies and if anyone wants to join us. Please email me Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

I think that's all for now. If you want to check out our SIBOL Ravelry Group please do.

This SIBOL website is changing all the time so please go back to previous posts I wouldn't want you to miss anything.

Bye for now and thank you!

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!
