'Fuschia Fandango' arrives today!

Hi everyone!

We have another pretty blanket to show you today it has been assembled by BEV and the squares have come from all over the World once again. Simply amazing how we can make such stunning blankets! This one has been called 'Fuschia Fandango'. A great variety of squares make up this blanket and Bev has used such pretty coloured yarn to compliment them. A stunning border finishes it off.

Thanks to everyone who contributed these squares! Beautiful.

Great Butterflies also compliment the blanket and Bev has also sent some tagged ones for our 'SIBOL' stash.

Thank you very much Bev for all your hard work. You have assembled a number of blankets for me and I am terribly grateful to you.

I would also like to show you the Challenge squares that were made by Bev. One for our Faces Challenge and of course the other for our Snowman Challenge.

Bev (UK) Your Challenge squares have arrived thank you!

Superb squares for our Challenges, thanks again! I love everything!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' this evening.

Bev did a great job with this blanket - it's very pretty. All of the different colors work well together and the border sets off the blanket nicely. :)

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!
