Tuesday's Squares!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Thank you for visiting SIBOL today!

I'm so happy to be showing you the Squares that have arrived this morning.

jean nock (UK) has very kindly helped me out with some 'Two of a Kind' Squares. I am short for this Challenge. I shall have to add the Squares up actually to see how many I need. This is a job for this afternoon.

Jean Nock (UK) Your 'Two of a Kind Squares' arrived today!

As you can see the Challenge involved sending 'Two of a Kind'. So jean nock has sent 'Two Santas', Two Cats with rolling eyes I add, which I find so...amusing and also Two Hearts. These Squares are gorgeous, but aren't they all?

Thank you jean nock! The Squares are very much appreciated.

Can I remind you things are very active over on SIBOL RAV Group. We have SIBOL Swaps and a SIBOL Giveaway which I would love you to take part in. If you have sent me a Square you are eligible to enter! Why not try and win a Crocheting or Knitting Book?

You will have to sign up to be a Member of our Group to enter.

We are having lots of fun over there.

Saturday evening with 'SIBOL'.

Good Evening!

'SIBOL' never stops for Mrs Twins! I'm late posting once again it has been one of those days.

I would like to thank Kianie (UK) so much for her beautiful Squares received today. Kianie has made some great Squares for our SIBOL Challenges. I'm sure you would like to see them. She also sent me the most delightful card. Take a look at it in the Slide Show. One of our 'SIBOL' Butterflies and a little Crocheted Square and underneath the word 'SIBOL'. It is just the prettiest card. Thank you so much Kianie I'm over the moon with the Squares and the Card.

Kianie has come up with some great ideas for our 'Two of a Kind' Challenge. A pair of 'Lovebirds' would you believe, and a pair of 'Pears!'. How good is that? Wonderful Watermelon Squares also. I would at this point like to say I am short of Watermelon Squares on checking through the Squares so if anyone wants to make any please do. These Squares are brilliant. A pair of Two Tone Blue Squares which unfortunately spaces are taken on that one now but I will save them for a future Blanket.

I can't wait to show you them.

I've made you a Slide Show Kianie to showcase your beautiful Squares, thank you so much for making them.

Have a lovely evening everyone and thanks so much for visiting 'SIBOL' today!

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!

Important Notices

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!
