Update on Challenges

Hi Everyone!

I'm counting down now till the end of March. Our Olympic Challenge ends very soon now. Thanks to everyone that has sent me Squares. I can tell you this Blanket is going to be 'massive!'. I shall give you a count very soon!

There is one week to go so if you still want to get out your needles and hooks then please make a 6" Crocheted or Knitted Square with the Olympics in mind. For ideas please visit our Challenge website.
If you want to have a go then please mail me and let me know Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net I am so eager to get started on this Blanket now but I shall need to know final numbers.

I really want to try and raise as much money as I can for the Alzheimers Society here in the UK this condition effects a lot of people worldwide let alone the UK and this is our way of helping towards their research.

Of course if you want to take part in our other Challenges. Please visit our Challenge website. We still have lots of Squares needed for the Owl, Irish Rose, Jan Eaton, Music, Faces, Wiggles, Snowman, Nursery Rhyme Challenge. I'm sure there is something there that will interest you.

We do also need Squares for 'One Heart From Around The World' but if you would like to make a Heart Square of your own choice then please do so.

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!
