MONDAY'S UPDATE and Our 96th Ta - Dah! 'Grow me a Garden'.

Good Evening Everyone!

Thank you for visiting 'SIBOL' this evening.

I am very pleased to be showing you our second 'Grow me a Garden' Blanket. I just love the Squares in this Blanket 'once again!' and I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to this Challenge. The Squares have been 'amazing'. I seem to use that word quite a lot on our web site. But the Squares were 'amazing!'. bonsall was the lady who suggested this particular Challenge a few months ago and I'm so pleased she did because it has been a real pleasure to receive the Squares for this particular Challenge. You have all worked so terribly hard again thank you very much.  I love all the Squares in this Blanket.

Slide.com inform me that they have stopped their Slide Shows now. So unfortunately, we won't be seeing our 'Fluttering Butterflies' flying over the Blankets or even our 'Fireworks' celebrating another SIBOL! So for now we will be using Flickr Slide Show. I have made 453 Slide Shows with Slide.com and I would like to thank 'Adam' in particular over in the States who has given me so much support over the months. Thank you Adam 'that's if you are visiting!'.

Let's have a look at this new Blanket.

Pretty isn't it? The Ladies in the Homes love the Flower Blankets as much as the Picture Square Blankets.

I do  hope you like the latest Blanket and have enjoyed looking at the photos. I've had such fun with this Blanket once again. I can never thank you all enough!



MONDAY'S UPDATE.

I would like to thank Coxabey (UK) on RAV for asking me a few days ago whether I would like some yarn for SIBOL. She was having a 'yarn de-stash' and this morning her yarn arrived. I am just so grateful to you. This will be so...useful for our Sunshine Blankets.

Thank you very much Coxabey! A very kind thing to do for SIBOL.



No Squares today, I'm off to do my Blanket.

Squares from the Netherlands and the UK!

Hello Everyone!

Wow! That's all I can say today. I am absolutely over the moon with some Squares that Laura has sent in from the Netherlands.  I have received 55 Squares! Laura has made such a quantity of Squares for SIBOL. They are in various colours pinks, reds, greens, lilacs, turquoises, greys, whites, and all in different patterns too.  I am absolutely amazed at how hard our SIBOLETTES work for our project.

I know I've said before many times but I would never have imagined back in January 2010 that we would be receiving so....many Squares and making such a lot of Blankets.  This project has gone from strength to strength and I just couldn't have done it without you all. I know for a fact our 'Sunshine Blankets' are making a difference to Elderly people.

I'm sure you want to see Lauras' Squares.  I have made a Slide Show please make yourself a cup of coffee and just take in all these little beauties, they are so lovely.

I told you they were nice! Thank you so much Laura.




I've just this minute had a second post.  BrendaS2 has very kindly sent in some Squares for SIBOL. Thank you so much Brenda.

Brenda has chose to make Squares from the Jan Eaton Book. The Numbers are 87 'Peony' and 86 'Sunray'.
These are lovely Squares and the colour combinations are wonderful together.  I also received a pretty Square which we think is called 'Origami' and another one which we don't know the name of.

Thank you BrendaS2 for making the Squares, I love them.  I'm very grateful to you.  I'm sure you would love to see the Squares now.

I'm off to find my next Blanket to show you.
