Wiggles Squares from the Netherlands and a new SIBOL!

Hello Everyone!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today.

I would like to thank Karin in the Netherlands for sending in 5 Wiggles' Squares which I need for the Wiggles Challenge. I am pleased to say I now have enough to make the Blanket. Although we have a 'Square Stop' on at the moment I do still need Challenge Squares. So if you would like to make any please do! All details are over on SIBOL CHALLENGES.

Karin these Squares are just so pretty! Lovely yarn and really beautiful colours. Thank you so ...much!

Pop over to Karin's Blog and say hello!

Karin (Netherlands) Has sent 'Wiggles' Squares' which I need for one of our Challenges. Thank you they are gorgeous!

I am also very pleased to be showing you SIBOL 181! This Blanket has been made with a variety of Granny Squares and it has been so much fun to put together! Thank you to everyone who contributed Squares for this Blanket!

Thanks to everyone for sending Squares in for this Blanket.

I love this Blanket. (Mind you I love them all!)

I can't believe it's 181 now! Thanks everyone!

BY THE WAY THERE IS A NEW CROCHETING MAGAZINE OUT IN THE UK.
'SIMPLY CROCHETING!'. By the 'Simply Knitting' people. It is worth buying!

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!
