Squares from the States and UK arrive today!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I am very pleased to be showing you some new Squares which have arrived today. The first set of Squares have come all the way from the USA from our dear friend Luna! Thank you Luna! I'm sure you will love these Squares. Luna has made a great set of Heart Squares for our 'One Heart From Around The World' Challenge. They are just so pretty! Along with some beautiful Granny Squares. Great yarn Luna! The Hearts are in different colours and each one is superb! Let's take a look at them.

Luna (USA) Your Squares arrived today Luna! Thank you so much!

We have also had a very pretty Square arrive from Pippa (UK) today. Pippa chose to make No.92 'Victorian Lace' for our Jan Eaton Challenge. This is such an interesting Block, I'm so pleased you took part in our Challenge Pippa. Also many thanks for the Stash Squares! I love them all!

I'm sure you love them too!

The third set of Squares are for our 'Your Local Landscape' Challenge. Two beautiful Squares are from Craftymizz (UK). These two are very interesting Squares and are brilliant for our special Charity Challenge.
The first one is of 'Durdle Door' in Dorset. I have given you the link if you are interested in reading about it. Here is a photo too. Craftymizz you have captured it beautifully! Thank you so much!

This is 'Durdle Door' in Dorset. So beautiful!

The other Square is of 'Denford Canal'. Another brilliant Square for our special Challenge. Once again captured beautifully Craftymizz! I love them both thank you so much! They will both be great for our 'Your Local Landscape' Blanket which will be sent off to Jersey Textile Showcase 2012.

This one? 'Denford Canal',Staffordshire. Thanks so much!

An exciting day today! Thanks to Luna, Craftymizz and Pippa. Your Squares are very much appreciated.

I will continue working on our 'Your Local Landscape' Challenge now.

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!
