Good News SIBOLETTES!

Hi Everyone!

Congratulations SIBOLETTES!! We are featured in 'Inside Crochet' Issue 24. I'm so proud!

I am just the proudest person out! Congratulations to all of my SIBOLETTES! Why? Read on....

Today I picked up my copy of Inside Crochet Issue No. 24. I am really pleased because on page 11 there is a fantastic write up about our Group! Not only does it mention our work for the Elderly in Nursing Homes but also a great photograph of our Olympic Squares! I am terribly proud of you all, what a great Group we have!

Our SIBOL Group has been featured on page 11. Great photos of our Olympic Squares too! Thank you all so much!

If you would like to read the article please click on the photo. It will take you to Flickr. You then have the option 'Actions'. Go to 'Sizes'. The photo will be enlarged even more! Thank you!
I really do hope this article will generate lots of Olympic Squares from anyone reading Inside Crochet!

I am just the happiest person today! Thanks to you all as I said I am so...proud of you all!

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!
