Tuesday's Squares from the States and UK!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Only one more day until I show you my 100th Ta - Dah! I do hope you will pop in tomorrow!

I am excited today because I have had two sets of Squares arrive. The first set are from Melanie (UK). I do hope you will visit her blog because she is in the same line of 'business' as myself 'making blankets'. Melanie assembles purely Knitted Squares to make Blankets for those abroad in need and others here in the UK. So please pop over and have a look at her Knitted Blankets.Thank you Melanie.

Melanie (UK) Your Squares have arrived. Thank you.

The other set is from our Luna over in the States.

Luna has sent four Squares for our 'Snowman Challenge' over on Ravelry. They are so lovely. Have a look at these!

Luna (USA) Your Snowman Squares have arrived! Thank you!

I'm very grateful to Luna, not only did she make Snowman Squares she made these too!

Luna (USA0 Your Squares have arrived! Thank you!

Did you notice the 'Olympic Square?' brilliant thank yoiu!

Thanks so much Luna for sending these lovely Squares I am pleased they arrived safely!

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!
