Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 34. 'Fireworks!' - named by ATheeC's Daughter. Fridays Update Squares from the UK!

Lots of Fireworks, Catherine Wheels.....>

Hello Everyone!

I'm very happy to be introducing SIBOL No. 34! This is the second of the Bonfire theme. Now I have to say today I received two lots of Squares from the USA I do hope you will go back to the previous post and have a look at them they are beautiful! Thank you Luna and Debi!

Before I do, I would like to thank our new Followers for their lovely comments on SIBOL. Occasionally I receive emails and indeed comments on SIBOL telling me how much you enjoy visiting our site and indeed looking at the beautiful Squares and consequently our 'Sunshine Blankets'. It's so nice to receive positive feedback and I am so pleased you enjoy popping over to the UK to see what's going on with our SIBOL project. Thank You!

Back to SIBOL No. 34. I am so pleased to be showing you this Blanket. We have a very young SIBOLETTE 'ATheeC's' Daughter who has very kindly sent me a Square. I've included it in this Bonfire Blanket along with her Mothers. It is the red, navy and blue one, beautiful Granny Square so this Blanket will be special for her as she has just started Crocheting. Please feel free to take a photo off the site. Actually while I am saying that.....if anyone wants to take photos off SIBOL, because their Square is in a Blanket, please feel free! I don't mind.

'Do I have to say it Ladies?' Okay then.....'please add note' if you see your Square! Thank You!

I've had such fun working with your Squares. They are so explosive, full of colour. I have just loved them. Thank You so much! I will be putting Luna's Squares into the third Bonfire Blanket. I only have her 6 Bonfire Squares left, so I am having to raid the Square stash! Lets see what happens...... Let's hope we can make another 'Explosive Firework Blanket!' :)

shiloandspeiky (USA) Your Squares have arrived! Thank You!

I've taken a lot of photos out in the garden today. Here's my Slide Show showcasing your beautiful Bonfire Squares! Thank you all so very much! Enjoy!

Fridays Update

I'm very pleased to be showing you some Squares that came in this morning. They are from 'Jean Nock' over on Flickr. The Squares I have received are just so pretty. Great for our Christmas Challenge Blankets and some pretty Flower Squares too in gorgeous pastel colours! Simply lovely.

Would you like to see them?

Jean Nock (UK) A nice surprise! Thank You!!

and some others too?

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

It was my pleasure to make you a Slide Show, I do hope everyone has enjoyed looking at the Squares today!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Plenty of hooking......

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!
