Challenge Squares arrive from Scotland.

Good afternoon,

A lovely day here in the UK, sun is shining and we've had some great Squares arrive from jenn1feranne (RAV) (Scotland) today! Thank you so much!

jenn1feranne has made some really interesting Squares for our Challenges.

Let's take a look at them now.

First I have two Squares for our Transport Challenge. The first a Hot Air balloon, such a different form of transport! I've always wanted to go up in a Hot Air balloon, amazing as I don't like heights! This is a beautifully Knitted Square and I love the bright colours in the balloon.

Over on RAVELRY we have a Birthday thread and when it's anyones Birthday we hop on to the Birthday Bus and travel sometimes thousands of miles to wish our Group member a Happy Birthday. 'jenn1feranne' very kindly up-dates this thread for us and she does a fantastic job too. Several months ago she drew the Birthday Bus for us and if you look closely you can see a Birthday cake, balloons and even SIBOLETTE's with a glass in their hand! This is a great drawing 'jenn1feranne' we have always liked it. 'jenn1feranne' is such a talented Lady that she has Knitted a Square with the same design and this will go in the centre of our Transport Blanket.

Absolutely brilliant don't you think?

The next Square is for our 'Underwater Challenge'.

Fantastic once again.

Then we have two Squares for our Marie Curie Cancer Care Challenge. Wonderful Daffodils. We have just collected over 4 Blankets worth now, but we need more please!

'jenn1feranne' (RAV) Scotland. Thank you for these great Squares.

Thank you so much for taking part 'jenn1feranne', fantastic ideas. My photos could have been better the light was too bright today. Shouldn't complain about the Sun should we!

Thanks for visiting 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!

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!
