Squares arrive from Belgium!

Good Evening Everyone!

I'm very pleased to be showing you some gorgeous Knitted and Crocheted Squares that have arrived today from Caroline in Belgium. They are so pretty! I just love the colours she has used and I love the patterns.
These will be very useful in the future to make some lovely Blankets for the Elderly.

Would you like to see them?

Caroline (Belgium) Your Squares have arrived today! Thank You!

Squares from the UK today! Welcome to two new SIBOLETTES!

Hi Everyone!

It's my pleasure to show you these lovely Squares that came in today from Pattie in the UK. Pattie has crocheted some gorgeous Granny Squares, in such beautiful colours and has also sent me 2 Knitted Squares also. I just love them all and I appreciate your help.

You are now a 'SIBOLETTE!'. Welcome! We are a happy bunch, aren't we Ladies? Sit back now and enjoy your very own Slide Show!

I do hope you enjoyed looking at your Squares, thank you!

Pattie was not the only new SIBOLETTE today! I would like to welcome Mia Self (UK) to SIBOL too!
I'm very grateful to Mia Self because she has sent me some lovely knitted Squares today which are for two Challenges the Bonfire and the Christmas Challenge.

Mia's Squares for the Bonfire Challenge are absolutely ideal. I said on Flickr that they were 'EXPLOSIVE' well they surely are. Just take a look at them in her Slide Show. You can just imagine the Fireworks on these Squares flying off into the sky! Gorgeous.

Also Mia Self knitted two Squares for the Christmas Challenge. Once again they are ideal for our Blankets. I just can't wait to put all today's Squares into Blankets.

Mia Self, are you ready? Sitting comfortably? Here goes.....

Bye for now.....

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!
