I have a Ta - Dah for you!

joyce28 (UK) Joyce made and donated 'On Target!' for 'SIBOL' Thank you very much! SIBOL 135!



Good Evening everyone!

I am extremely happy to be showing you a Blanket which was made and donated by joyce28 from here in the UK.  The Blanket called 'On Target' is just so interesting with all the different coloured circles.
It reminds joyce of shooting targets and that is why she chose this name.

Let's take a look at her Blanket now.

This is a gorgeous Blanket. Circles within Squares! Beautiful colours and so kind of you thank you joyce28!


I really love this Blanket and I am very grateful to joyce for taking the time to put this together for 'SIBOL'.

Hi Everyone!

I am very pleased to be showing you a gorgeous Blanket which has been donated to 'SIBOL' today.
It has been lovingly made and donated by Sarah over on RAV.

The colours she has chosen in this Blanket go so well together, and once again it's the 'Good ol' Granny' that has been used. Just take a look at this fantastic colour choice!

This 2nd Blanket was in Memory of Mary.

Sarah recently made a Blanket called 'Arthur' in Memory of her Grandfather-in-law. This one is made in Memory of his dear wife 'Mary'. I'm sure you love the Blanket as much as I do!

Thank you so much Sarah. You are very kind making the two Blankets for the Elderly folk in Memory of 'Arthur and Mary'.

'Springtime' another beauty! (133)



'Springtime' made and donated by jenniferanne (SCOTLAND).


Hello Everyone,

Thanks for popping in to 'Mrs Twins' today.

I am very happy to be showing you a stunning Blanket. This has been made and donated by jenniferanne in SCOTLAND.

For this Blanket she has used all shades of green 'from darkest conifers to palest primroses'. The Square used in this Blanket is called 'Vintage Lace' designed by Margret Wilson. jenniferanne joined the Squares with an 'experimental' fan stitch, which I really loved!

'Springtime' made and donated by jenniferanne (RAV) (SCOTLAND).



jenniferanne also made two 'cabbage white' Butterflies and sent them along too. jenniferanne tried the Blanket  out over her knees and found it very cozy indeed!

I absolutely love this Blanket and if you remember ten days ago, (only ten days ago I add) she also sent into SIBOL 'Still Waters' which was all shades of Blue!

Your kindness is very much appreciated and I know this Blanket will also be very well received by our Elderly folk. Thank you jenniferanne.

Please sit back and enjoy this wonderful Blanket in my Slide Show for jenniferanne!

Another beautiful SIBOL! (132)

Hi Everyone!

50 beautiful Squares were received some months ago from 'Dolphin Sunshine' in Germany and I'm very happy to be telling you that the second of the Blankets has now been assembled.  Thank you 'jean nock' for
making the Blankets up for me.

The Squares 'Granny Squares' were made in beautiful yarn and gorgeous colours and I'm sure you will agree they really have made some fantastic Blankets.

Let's take a look at both Blankets now.

Squares donated by 'Dolphin Sunshine' Germany over on RAV. jean nock beautifully made the Blanket up! Well done both!


This is a beautiful Blanket, gorgeous Granny Squares!


Your kindness in making these Squares is very much appreciated and I do hope you like both Blankets.

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with your Squares and I'm sure the Elderly are going to love these Blankets keeping them warm!

Thank you for visiting 'Mrs Twins' today!
Have a good weekend.

SIBOL 131!

Hi Everyone!

Ginnyknit (UK) Has very kindly made and donated a Blanket to SIBOL.


I am very pleased to be showing you SIBOL 130 today. This Blanket has been made and donated by Ginnyknit here in the UK. Ginnyknit has made a wonderful Granny Square Blanket and the colours she has used are just so crisp and fresh looking.

Butterflies were made by jean nock and the Blanket was made beautifully too by Ginnyknit!


I am always very grateful to Ladies that have sent me in Blankets especially at this time when I have been involved in our special Olympic Blanket. I am in the process of edging each Square and so far have totalled around 100. I have another 100 Flag Squares coming in over the next few weeks. So as you can imagine actual 'Blanket donation' is helping me keep our Blanket numbers up.  I intend to make a delivery in the summer months (which I know sounds daft) but I want to gather some more before I do so.

The Butterflies were made and donated by jean nock and they match the Blanket beautifully. If anyone wants to have a go at the Butterflies please pop over to Netties Blog in Australia for a wonderful video tutorial!

If you would like to make and donate  a Blanket for the Elderly please follow the link for instructions!

Let's take a look now at Ginnyknits Blanket.

Good ol' Grannies! (129 & 130)

These Blankets are just so pretty!


Hi Everyone!

I am very pleased to be showing you two Granny Square Blankets which arrived today.  They have been made by Joanna here in the UK.

I thought a while back that it might be interesting to make Granny Square Blankets as well as the usual '25' Square Blankets for the Elderly. Well why not, they give out plenty of warmth don't they? So I made 'optional Challenges' for SIBOL and Joanna has taken part. These Blankets are really an excellent way of using up that 'unwanted yarn'. Joanna has made them up beautifully and I'm over the moon that she has donated them to SIBOL.

Let's take a look now.........

Yes the Blue & Green one is for a Man, the other for a Woman! How thoughtful!

Don't you just love them?

These Blankets will be very well received I am sure.

Thank you Joanna, thanks to everyone for visiting 'Mrs Twins' today!
