'Autumn Leaves'

Hi everyone!

I'm always so excited when a new Challenge is 'done and dusted' so to speak. I had such fun collecting the Squares for our 'Leaves' Challenge and once again we have received a great variety of different designs. The Leaves have been Crocheted and Knitted in wonderful colours.

I can't wait to show you.

This Blanket comprises of 30 Squares and I Crocheted the border from Edie Eckman's book 'Around the Corner Crochet Borders'. This is an excellent book and even I can understand it. The border is Number 21. I tried to pick up the rusty colour from one of the Squares and hope they look like leaves!

Thanks to everyone for sending Squares for this Challenge.

I'm afraid I can't do one of my Slide Shows at the moment, because Flickr has changed every time I copy and paste the html into the Slide Show site it doesn't work. I'm not a happy bunny this evening.

Sorry about that.

Why do they have to change things?

Everything was great before.

I hope you like 'Autumn Leaves'.

Thanks to everyone who contributed Squares for this Challenge once again.

Thanks for visiting me this evening.

Hi I'm Sue,

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

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.

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!
