Daffodil Squares, Lime Cordial and Grape Crush!

Good Morning,

A bumper delivery of SIBOL Goodies today from 'jean nock' and 'Sally'.

Thank you to 'jean nock' who has very kindly made some Daffodil Squares for our Marie Curie Cancer Care Challenge. As stated over on SIBOL CHALLENGES it is going to take me quite a while to collect the Squares for our special Marie Curie Challenge. I am trying to make 9 Blankets to be donated to the 9 Hospices up and down the Country. That's the idea, but let's see how we get on collecting them.

'jean nock' has made some beauties and I am very grateful to her. Along with the Daff Squares I received some SIBOL Butterflies and a beautiful little pink Heart. So cute.....

Here they are now.

'jean nock' Your Squares, Heart and Butterflies have arrived! Thank you!

The light is a bit iffy today, sorry.

I've made a Slide Show for you, sit back and enjoy!

Thank you so much 'jean nock'.

I am also very grateful to Sally. Before Christmas Sally gave me a hand with 'take a bag'. It's amazing how she puts Knitted Squares together for me! These blankets are really interesting. The green one I'm going to call 'Lime Cordial' and the other one 'Grape Crush'.

Beautiful Blankets Sally thanks ever so much for giving me a hand.

Sally has helped me with 'take a bag'. How nice is this blanket?

I think this one too is so.....pretty! 'Grape Crush'.

Let's take a closer look at the blankets now.
I would like to thank everyone that sent in the Squares for these blankets and also to Sally who made a wonderful job putting them together.

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!
