Squares from the Netherlands and USA (Friday)

Good Morning Everyone!

Well I'm going to try and write this post, Blogger has been playing up so fingers crossed!

Yesterday I had some Squares come in and because Blogger was down I couldn't post them on here. So I will try this morning.

First of all I apologise for not being able to visit my favourite blogs, I am still experiencing problems my end with the internet speed. It's just a complete waste of time trying. The Engineer is coming out Tuesday which we aren't too happy about!

First of all I would like to thank Karin (Netherlands) for her gorgeous Squares. Karin has made two gorgeous Squares for our 'Tropical' Challenge, which are so bright and colourful. A beautiful Square for our 'Cupcake' Challenge and of course her Square for the Jan Eaton Challenge.

The Jan Eaton Block is Number 63 'Random Patches'. This Square has come out beautifully, but of course they all have. It's always such a pleasure to receive your Squares Karin. Karin tells me she used "Cancun" 50% acrylic /50% cotton.

Karin (Netherlands) Your Squares have arrived! Thank you!

I'm happy to show you Karin's Squares now. Thank you very much for sending them to SIBOL, I am pleased you've had a go with our Challenges here on SIBOL!

I also had some really nice Squares come in from Debi in the USA! Debi has made a Square which she has called 'XO Squared'. The reason for this is because if you look at the Square you can see the 'X' and the Centre would be the 'O'. I think this is a gorgeous Square and I'm sure Debi would love to see you trying the pattern out. She has very kindly agreed to me giving you the link! Pop over and read all about it!

DebiY (USA) Your Squares have arrived today! Thank you!

Debi a way of thanking you for the beautiful Squares I have made you a Slide Show! Thanks again I love them!

Well let's hope I can post this successfully now, if I have any more Squares come in later this morning I will be back.

May I thank Ladies who are enquiring about 'SIBOL' whether it be over on Rav or by email. It's always nice to have new enquiries and I'm really pleased you think SIBOL is a worthwhile project.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

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!
