Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL 98!

Good Morning Everyone!

I am extremely happy to be showing you our 98th SIBOL! Only two more to go and we will have reached our 100th Blanket.

I am sure you will agree this Blanket is gorgeous. The Squares have been assembled by baw1812 over on Ravelry. ‘Beverley’ is the Lady who kindly put this Blanket together for us. She has been helping me assemble while I’ve been making some of the Challenge Blankets up. I am extremely grateful to her and I think she really has enjoyed the process.

This special Blanket has been called 'Wishes for Wiggles'.

To the Ladies who have contributed towards this Blanket I am so.....grateful to you. I know that each Square has been lovingly made and sent to Beverley. She has enjoyed receiving each Square and she’s been on a ‘high’ ever since she started this particular project!

The Squares have all been made with two particular colours in mind....Purple and Green. I thought Flower Squares for this project and it was so nice my end to see the Squares arrive at Bev’s house and be posted on to Ravelry. The patterns for each Square have been so pretty, I am so terribly proud of you all Ladies!

Beverley had the idea to put three Squares on to the Pillow case, they look great and finish it off nicely. Thank you Bev. You’ve worked so hard with this Blanket and I just want you to know that your friends ‘fellow SIBOLETTES’ think the Blanket is ‘BEAUTIFUL!’.

I love this one and think the color choices are brillant. You must be please to have someone close by to help stitch these together for you. You have done such an amazing job with each and every one. So much loven'. Someone just popped by my garden and said you mentioned the G.B., thanks for the linkie. I can't seem to find that posting. But, it could be that I'm still up in the woods of Michigan on a laptop. I don't know how you have done all this on a laptop either. I can't wait to get home to my normal big monitor and keyboard. Having a great vaca, but we think we like Wisconsin a little better. Maybe, that's because it F.R.E.E. at my brother's house. Seriously, the towns are closer and a lot more fun shopping and artist areas to scout out. Hope this comment works, I've been having a terrible time with this.

Very well done, Bev - the blanket looks fabulous. I only hope that my own offering can look even half as good as this! :)

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!
