Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 73 - 'Endless Summer Flowers'.

Good Evening Everyone!

I'm very happy to be showing you my 73rd Ta - Dah this evening.  It's called 'Endless Summer Flowers' and has been named by Marilyn. Thank you!   I've been trying to get some decent photos outside, but it's rather difficult when the sun is belting down on our 'south facing' patio. It was so hot
out there today.  So I went back out there about 5 o'clock to try again.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed Squares for this Blanket. I have thoroughly enjoyed making it up. I still get such a buzz even though I've made so many! I just love the colours in this Blanket. I have tried to use the same colours in the border  as in Maree's Flower Squares which are the two Squares each side of the middle Square. They are my favourite colours and actually the same ones in the throw I made a while back in my Conservatory.

If you see your Square click on this photo and pop over to Flickr. I would love you to 'add note' on your Square!

I hope you like it. The Squares were amazing! I appreciate each and every one of them thank you!

The ribbon was supplied by Puppet Lady.
The Flowers by Chalky 75.
The Butterflies by Anakat.
The Squares by you, thank you!

Bye for now thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today!

Beautiful Squares from the UK.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today.

I have two lots of Squares arrive today from the UK.  First of all crochet3love has made a Square for our 'Tropical Challenge'.  It's gorgeous, a beautiful Starfish. I love the colours you've chosen and it's such a good idea.  Why not make a Square for our 'Tropical Challenge'? Details are over on SIBOL CHALLENGES.
Thank you very much crochet3love.  I love your Square.

Here it is.....



Yes, I've been out in the garden, enjoying the pleasant afternoon.

Secondly, I have had some pretty Squares arrive from Rainbow Ribbon (RAV) (UK). Some of the Squares have very pretty centres, can you see? They are so...pretty. Great colours Rainbow Ribbon and there are such a lot! Rainbow Ribbon has also sent me some beautiful Butterflies.  If you want to make the Butterflies SIBOL uses on their Blankets I'll give you the link. Why not have a go?

Our SIBOLETTES have installed 'Fluttering Butterflies' on to their Blogs and Profile Pages. Would you like to? Look over to the right. Can you see the Butterflies, click on and load your own up to your space. Butterflies are our SIBOL 'trade mark' if you like and we have been making  them for our Blankets since SIBOL No. 8. which was the 'Butterfly Blanket'.

Let's see the Squares now.....



and of course Bev's Butterflies! Can you spot them?



They really are so easy to make. There is a great  video tutorial on the link I have given to you from dear Nettie. I'm sure you will have fun making them!

Now I would like to show you the Slide Show I have made. Rainbow Ribbons Squares are lovely. Enjoy watching them. Thank you so much Rainbow Ribbon.'

Our Sunshine Blankets are ready to be delivered to a local Nursing Home. I have got the 'yes please'. I am just waiting to arrange a convenient time. I'll be telling you about my visit very soon, so stay tuned.

I have picked up my hook after a few days break you'll be pleased to know and I am at present working on the Farmyard Blanket. Then I will do the Spring ones.

Before I go.....Over on Ravelry, our SIBOL Group is getting ready for the next Square Swap. So if you would like to join in the fun please do. Pop over and sign up. Aishwarya will be very pleased to take your name. The Ladies are receiving wonderful Swaps and Gifts.

I think that's all for now.

Thanks for stopping by,

Squares from the Netherlands and Belgium!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I have some gorgeous Squares to show you today!

First of all I would like to welcome 'Richtje' (RAV) to SIBOL.  It's lovely to have you join our group.
Richtje is very proud of herself because she has made her first Granny Square and she has decided to give it to SIBOL.  But.....it's not just one Square... She has sent me 25 Squares all in beautiful pastel colours enough to make a whole Blanket, they are absolutely gorgeous!  With the set of Squares she has also sent me a White Square for our 'Winter Wonderland' Challenge which is lovely.

I'm going to show you Richtjes' Squares in a Slide Show, but first of all just take a look at these beauties! She has made little Butterflies to decorate the Squares, I think they are so pretty! A very good idea.

Thank so much Richtje, I am so pleased you enjoyed making them. I'm sure everyone loves them, I know I do!

I also had some Squares come in from ATheeC on Flickr.  I've very pleased to be showing you these Squares.  ATheeC had some donated yarn given to her a while back, when she ordered some yarn from a shop  in the Netherlands.  She has put the yarn to very good use. I think that was extremely kind of them. Do you remember this yarn?

These are some of the Squares she made with them.



Aren't they pretty? Thanks so much ATheeC and here's your Slide Show! Enjoy!

Has anyone else been approached by CNN?  Today Kim mailed me and apparently CNN had asked her to upload the photo of her Royal Wedding Square to their web site! I told her SIBOL did this same thing last week. We were just wondering if anyone else had been contacted.

That's all for now. I do hope you enjoyed looking at the new Squares. Until next time, bye....
