Saturday Squares from South Africa and the UK.

Good Afternoon,

My work does not stop even on a Saturday afternoon!

Thank you very much to bonsall (UK) and also to cromad (South Africa) for Squares received this morning.
Beautiful Squares for our Challenges. Please follow the link if you want to take part!

Let's take a look at the Squares received from bonsall first.

bonsall has made some Squares using Tunisian Crochet and also Freeform. These Squares are very pretty and as bonsall was saying Tunisian Crochet gives a nice base to the Square, makes it so much firmer.

bonsall (UK) Challenge & Stash Squares Thank you!

A gorgeous Poppy for our 'Wartime' Challenge and also a Square for our 'Leaves Challenge'.

Thank you very much bonsall, I love them.

cromad is a new 'SIBOLETTE' and she has also enjoyed making Squares for our Challenges which I showed you yesterday, but today I received some Stash Squares. I am very pleased to be receiving them thank you so much.

Really lovely patterns.

Thanks 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

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!
