Lavender Love Crocheted Square. (CLOSED NOW)

Good Evening,

Edit: This Challenge is now closed thank you!

Our present Challenges are drawing to a close but I still need 11 Lavender Lace Squares to finish off a Blanket. Why not have a go and send it to me. The Squares will be assembled in to a Blanket and donated to one of the local Nursing/Care Homes here in the UK.

Debi's - 'Lavender Square Challenge'.

Here's the Link.

Make 1 Square
6" x 6" (15cms x 15cms)
Crocheted
Acrylic yarn
22" Length of Lavender Ribbon to be used on your Square please.
Please make the Square in Lavender.

Please attach a label to your Squares with your name and state which Challenge.
As soon as possible please. Thank you!

My dear friend Debi over in the States from Hooks and Yarn has very kindly designed a Square for SIBOL.

It is called 'Lavender Love' and it is such a pretty Square, I love it!

Debi has made a great tutorial for this Square and she has added Lavender ribbon on round 5.
Now it does say on her tutorial this is 'optional' but I think for our 'Sunshine Blankets for the Elderly' it would be nice if you could please add a length of ribbon. I think the ribbon would really make it extra pretty for our Elderly folk.

Thank you so much Debi for helping me out on this Challenge.

I do hope you will have a go it is such a pretty Square.
Thank you

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!
