Two magazines in one weekend!

Hi Everyone!

I'm back with more good news! Yesterday our Group were lucky enough to be featured in two magazines! I posted yesterday about 'Inside Crochet' so please go back a post and have a read and also we were featured in 'Simply Knitting!'. Both magazines were fantastic write ups for our Group and I do hope we can get more interest from them.

Today I would like to show you the article featured in 'Simply Knitting' Issue 87. If you click on the photo it will take you to Flickr and you will be able to enlarge the artictle. I am so grateful to both 'Inside Crochet' and 'Simply Knitting' for wonderful articles about us. I do hope the articles will generate more Squares for our Group and especially our Olympic Blanket Challenge for next year.

Two magazines in one day! Wow! Congratulations Ladies!!!!

There is always quite a bit going on over on our Ravelry SIBOL Group. Why not pop over? Perhaps you would like to take part in our SIBOL Swaps? Everyone are most welcome. We have lively topic board threads and everyone is welcome to join in the fun over there! We discuss anything from new Blankets to the latest TV news!

See you over there!

Thanks 'Inside Crochet' and thanks also to 'Simply Knitting'.
Thanks everyone 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!
