Beautiful Squares for you to see!

Good evening everyone!

Welcome to SIBOL!

I am very happy to be showing your another Crocheted Flower Square. This one is for our 'Emmerdale' Blanket and it has been made by pippas45 (RAV) (UK). Such a pretty Square once again made in gorgeous colours. Our 'Emmerdale' Blanket is going to look lovely with all these donated Flower Squares!

pippa-anne (UK) Your 'Emmerdale Flower Square' has arrived today! Thank you!

I think these two colours work really well together, thank you pippas45 for sending it to me. You have made it beautifully. I love it.

I am also very happy to be welcoming trudygr to our 'SIBOL' RAV group. It is always so nice to have new Ladies join us. trudygr has sent me some really lovely Crocheted Squares, some for our Stash and some for Challenges. We have had a lovely 'Emmerdale' Flower Square too from trudygr. I'm going to put the rest of the Squares in to a Slide Show that I have made for her.

trudygr (RAV) Wales. Your 'Emmerdale Flower Square' has arrived today! Thank you!

As I said our 'Emmerdale' Blanket is going to be really nice, I'll keep my fingers crossed like the rest of our 'SIBOLETTES' that one night we will see it on their sofa!

trudygr has Crocheted some gorgeous Squares, beautiful colours and really nice patterns. I love the variegated yarn that has been used in these Squares. Thank you so much for sending these Squares to 'SIBOL'.

Thanks to both of you for gorgeous Squares, I am very grateful to you!

I am getting along fine with the Olympic Squares but I shall be taking a little break very soon to make the 'Emmerdale' Blanket. I can't wait to make it we've had some wonderful Squares for this 'in between' Challenge.

Our usual Challenges are over on SIBOL CHALLENGES.

If you'd like to take a closer look at all the Blankets and Squares we have received into SIBOL HQ, please visit my Flickr photostream. This is my visual record of all Squares and Blankets that are made.

I do hope you have a nice evening. It's dark outside now 7.45pm and it's wet and miserable not to mention the cold!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' this evening and thanks Ladies again for the Squares!

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!
