Squares from Spain and the UK.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I am very pleased to be showing you some Squares which have arrived from Miren in Spain today. They are really pretty as you will see.

Miren has made crocheted 4 Squares in one with a little Flower, I think these are my favourites. They look so different with the colours she has used. I also received other Squares from Miren which are made beautifully too!

Let's take a look at them now.

Miren (Spain) Your Squares arrived today! Thank you!

I have made you a Slide Show, now take your time and look at each Set of Squares, they are so lovely!

I have to say Miren, my emails are coming back like a Boomerang! Please contact me again on email and let's see if we can sort the problem out! Thank you. I have left a comment on your blog to say your Squares have arrived too! Miren's blog is just so interesting. Why not pop over and take a look!

Created with flickr slideshow.

They look so different with the colours Miren has chosen. Thank you so much for sending them to SIBOL. I know you have enjoyed making them!

I have also had some 'beauties' arrive from Charlotte (Sharky Knows). today! I am so pleased to be showing them to you. Each Square is just so pretty! I am very grateful to you Charlotte I know you are busy getting things ready for your new arrival! Only 6 weeks away, how exciting! Thank you for finding the time to make them for SIBOL! Take a look at these!

Charlotte (UK) Your Squares arrived today! Thank you!

What wonderful Squares today! Thank you both so...much!

May I remind you ......If anyone has NOT made a Snowman Square and you would like to take part in our second 'Snowman Blanket' please follow the link to Ravelry/ and put your name down. Thank you!

I have my Daughter at home this week so we are doing fun things together. Next week I hope to do my Blanket deliveries!

Thanks to everyone that is supporting our SIBOL project and if you think our Blog is worthy of a nomination for 'Favourite Craft Blog 2011' which Inside Crochet are holding please follow the link and nominate us. It would be so nice for the wonderful talent of Ladies from all over the World to be recognised with one of the leading Crocheting magazines here in the UK! The button is over to the right at the top. Thank you so much! I know the Ladies in our Group would be terribly grateful to you! Me included!

I think that's all for now,

Have a good day,

x Sue x

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!
