Christmas Eve Squares from the Netherlands!

Hello Everyone!

May I wish you all a Very Happy Christmas!

It is Christmas Eve and my SIBOL work does not stop for this special day! For today I have had some pretty Squares arrive from Karin in the Netherlands!

Thank you Karin so....much for making these Squares for our Challenges. The first one a beautiful 'Wiggles Square'. Is just so lovely. The colour combinations are perfect together and this really is such a lovely pattern to try!

I thought you would like it. Why not visit our Challenges and try yourself! Great instructions and tutorial available from Debi in the States!

The next Square is the Jan Eaton Block No. 85 'Lemon Stripe'. Once again Karin has made a pretty Square in wonderful yarn and colours!

'Jan Eaton' 85 'Lemon Stripe'. Great Squares for our Challenges! Many thanks!

I would also like to show you a lovely Heart that Karin has made and sent to SIBOL. I think Karin I will attach this to the 'One Heart From Around The World' Blanket when it is assembled!

Karinaandehaak (Netherlands) Your Squares have arrived thank you!

I just love the Squares you have sent and I do hope that our visitors on SIBOL will like them too! I am positive they will!

May I wish you all a Very Happy Christmas from myself and my family! My SIBOL work is complete for now. I cannot do anymore until we are back to normal. The last Postal Delivery 'thank you Royal Mail' has been made and Karins' Squares have arrived safely!

So it's time to enjoy the festivities 'let's hope' we all have a happy time! Thank you all so much for everything! My trusty SIBOLETTES, my FOLLOWERS, and anyone else visiting SIBOL and giving me so much support with my SIBOL project. A 'Big Thank You!'.

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!

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!
