Challenge Squares arrive from the Netherlands!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I think you had better put the kettle on while visiting 'SIBOL' this afternoon. I have had quite a lot of Challenge Squares arrive from dear Hieke in the Netherlands. She has been the busiest Lady ever during the Christmas run up period! For today I have received the most beautiful Squares for our Challenges, I would like you to take a look at them!

I will post a photo of all the Squares and then I think you had better sit back and enjoy our Slide Show. Hieke has really taken on our SIBOL Challenges and the Squares that have come in for these Challenges are simply amazing! Golly I am sitting here at the lap top saying Wow! Wow! Wow!

What wonderful ideas you have Hieke and I can't wait to show everyone! Let's take a look now!

Hieke (Netherlands) Wow! What a lot of Challenge Squares! Thank you!

Please have a look at the 'Your Local Landscape' Squares Hieke has sent in. She wrote on her mail the following for you to read,

"In the square with the view from my window, you see the stone tiles and the wooden jetty (I don’t know the English word, it is the place for our little boat, but the boat is not in the square).

What I see from my window is my garden (with green hedge, gray tiles and brown jetty (?), then the Schie (a river/canal in Rotterdam) and then the road, tree and houses on the other side of the Schie canal.

I told you they were good! Let's take a closer look now in the Slide Show.

Thank you so much for the Squares Hieke, I am sure everyone loves them as much as I do! I'm sure they will give everyone inspiration to have a go themselves!

I will be working for SIBOL right up until the last post has been on Christmas Eve morning so if any more Squares come in before Christmas I will be posting them! Thanks to everyone especially you Hieke today!

Oh my goodness, what a truly wonderful set of squares. They are all so lovely, I especially loved the 4 flowers for the olympics, the thistle is just brilliant, and the owl, and and and they are all fabulous.

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!
