Challenge Squares arrive today!

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much Ann for these wonderful Challenge squares received today!

Two beautiful squares for our '200th SIBOL'

Inspiration for this 200th 'SIBOL' is taken from my Grandmother and her favourite colours were green and blue. Ann has very kindly used these colours in the granny square. Also when my Nephew was tiny he would play with Nan's buttons. He called her 'Grandma Button'. The other square has buttons attached and is simply beautiful. Both squares are ideal thank you Ann.

A square for our Nursery Rhyme Challenge. 'Hickory Dickory Dock'. What a great square! Can you spot the mouse? Do you remember the Nursery Rhyme?

Hickory Dickory Dock!
The Mouse ran up the Clock,
The Clock struck one,
The Mouse run down,
Hickory Dickory Dock!

This tiny little mouse is just so cute! A great square for our Challenge.

The next square a beautiful Heart square.

Once again very nice indeed.

'Owl' Challenge. Thanks so much for these lovely squares!

A lovely Owl square too, thank you so much Ann for these great squares!

Ann (Kianie) Challenge squares have arrived! Thank you!

I had this 'Thank you' card given to me from Rowheath House over a week ago but I have been having trouble with the scanner. I would like to show you now. The Residents have all signed it which I think is really nice of them. They loved our blankets which we took in a couple of weeks ago and were terribly grateful.

A thank you from Rowheath House for our 'SIBOL' blankets.

Very nice card from the Residents thanking us for their blankets.

A very nice thought thank you very much!

I think that's about all for now, 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!
