Faces, Daffodils and Butterflies!

Good evening,

Welcome to 'SIBOL'.

I am very happy to be showing you some gorgeous Challenge Squares which have arrived today!

First of all we have some from 'creativegranny'.

As you know we are inviting Ladies to make a 6" Crocheted or Knitted 'Daffodil Square'. The aim to make some Blankets for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Why not join us?

We have some great links for you.

Let's take a look at the Squares.

Squares for our 'Marie Curie Cancer Care' Challenge.

Beautiful Squares and perfect Butterflies have escorted them to 'Two Times'.

I have also received some Squares for our 'Faces Challenge'. These really are so..interesting. I love the hair on both of them.

Squares for our 'Faces Challenge' are great!

Thank you very much 'creativegranny'.

I also would like to thank 'Beang' for her Squares. Just take a look at this interesting

'Faces Square!'.

This is 'Chad' and look at what he is saying!

So comical! I love it.

I also love these Butterflies for our stash.

Perfect colours thank you so much!

I am very grateful to both of you, thank you!

I also have a beautiful Blanket arrive back at 'Two Times' but my camera has gone dead. I'll be back shortly to show you!

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!
