Squares from the UK and our 90th Ta - Dah!

Good Evening Everyone!

I am sorry I am late posting today. I have been out today and on my return I wanted to get the second of the 'Tropical' Challenge finished.

May I say once again thank you so much for taking part in this particular Challenge. The Squares have just been so lovely. It's a joy to put each one together, I appreciate each one thank you!

It was such a warm afternoon and I couldn't wait to get out on to the patio to take some photos for you.

But first I have some Squares, so I will keep you waiting just a little bit longer.

May I thank Mrs S. Carmell from Essex. I actually don't think she has got a computer but I will say thank you anyway. I received two beautiful Squares today and I'm just so happy that you've donated them to SIBOL. Thank you for the interest you have shown in our SIBOL project.

Mrs Carmell (UK) Your Squares arrived today! Thank you!

Your Squares Mrs Carmell are very pretty indeed, thank you.

I would also like to thank Joanna (UK) for taking part in Luna's Flower Challenge. If you are interested in making one of these Squares click on the photo over to the right. You will go through to her blog. Luna has written instructions to make the Flower Square and photos too! I'll give you the link here too. Thank you Joanna, I'm pleased you enjoyed making the Flower Square and thank you Luna for doing this for SIBOL!

Joanna (UK) Luna's Square has arrived! Thank you!

It's come out beautifully Joanna, thank you very much for sending to SIBOL.

Now for our Ta - Dah!. This is the 90th. Ten more Ta - Dah's and we will be there at our 100th 'Sunshine Blanket'. What an achievement. I am getting excited now for our Big one!

This is the second 'Tropical Blanket' and I would like a name for this one please.

I do hope you like it. They were the most beautiful Squares and I had such fun with them.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed Squares for this Challenge. 'Please add note' if you see your Square. Name please Ladies!

Would you like to see the first one again?

Thanks to everyone that has contributed Squares for this Blanket.It's the first of the 'Tropical theme'. Please 'add note' if you see your Square!

crochet3love has called this first one 'Island of Love'. Good name don't you think?. Each Square has been made with Love from all of you!

Now for the Slide Show sit back and enjoy!

Thanks once again to everyone that sent me Squares for this Blanket and also to Mrs Carmell and Joanna. Have a lovely evening everyone! Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' this evening.,

My address is only available by email.

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!
