Squares for our Olympic Blanket.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I am very pleased to be showing you two sets of Squares which have arrived from 'tangled_web' in Pontypridd, Wales.

tangled_web (Wales) Your Squares arrived today! Thank you!

Thank you so much for making these Squares for 'SIBOL' and indeed for writing about our work on your Blog, it really was very nice of you. Please pop over and say hello!

I have received one set of Squares for our Olympic Blanket which will definitely be used and also another set for our 'SIBOL' Stash. These are Granny Squares but they have really interesting centres. I think my favourite has got to be the green Square with the beautiful white and yellow flower in the centre. You have used some really interesting colours with your Squares 'tangled_web' and I just can't believe you have only been crocheting for around a year!

With the sets of Squares 'tangled_web' very kindly sent me a Flower bookmark, what a sweet thought. I shall treasure this gift, it has been made in beautiful variegated yarn and I love it. Thanks so much for the Squares and the gift and I am very pleased you enjoyed making the Squares for 'SIBOL'.

A gift of a beautiful bookmark for me, how kind. Thank you tangled_web!

I have made you a Slide Show tangled_web, sit back and enjoy!

Created with flickr slideshow.

Thank you 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!

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!
