Our 'Irish Rose' Challenge is finished.

Good Evening and welcome to 'SIBOL',

I have written two posts today so I do hope you will scroll down and read the previous one. Our lovely Fiona in the Netherlands has very kindly made up our 3rd Think Pink blanket and I really would love you to see it. This blanket is going to be sold by 'Silent Auction' on the 'SIBOL' Blog very soon.

Now today is quite an eventful day for me and our 'SIBOLETTES'. I have now finished all of our 'SIBOL' Challenges and today I would like to present our 'Irish Rose' blanket. But before I do may I just keep you in the picture.

I have a couple of 'take a bags' due to arrive back at 'Two Times' very soon, I hope in time for my November deliveries. Now apart from this I have about 20 odd size Squares which are spare. I would like to thank everyone on RAVELRY who have been supporting me with 'take a bag'. I have had hundreds of Squares over the last 3 years and I am very pleased to be telling you that all of these Squares have now been used up. What an accomplishment for all of us!

We have made some wonderful blankets and the final ones will be delivered mid - November. We have all been really busy once again this year and what fun we've had.

As my last Challenge blanket is finished, I am going to write our 'SIBOL' cards out for the blankets and get them ready for the homes, up-date our 'SIBOL' Blog, sort out our next 'SIBOL' Challenges and of course up-date my photo albums. There are many bits and pieces I need to do before I start collecting Squares again. We are however still collecting Squares for our Marie Curie Cancer Care Challenge.

I can't thank you all enough for your friendship and wonderful support with the 'SIBOL' project. You are all such a lovely group of Ladies and it's a pleasure to know you all.

Let's take a look now at 'Irish Rose' a beautiful blanket and the Challenge was suggested by jenn1feranne and I am very grateful to her. This is my favourite Challenge I just absolutely love this blanket.

Thanks to everyone that has sent in Squares for this 'Irish Rose' Challenge, simply amazing! Thank you!

A closer look now!

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!
