Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL 168!

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for popping in to 'Mrs Twins' today.

I'm very happy to be showcasing SIBOL 168. I would like to thank everyone that sent in Squares for this Blanket and I would also like to thank 'jean nock' for assembling this one for me! We certainly are making a lot of Sunshine Blankets for the Elderly and it's a joy to work with your beautiful Squares. Thank you all so much!

The good ol' Granny has been used a lot in this particular Blanket and I'm sure you agree it's another nice one.

I think 'jean nock' has put this one together so well, thank you for your help!

Fred, Dorothy and Joyce!

Hello Everyone!

I am sure you are wondering what these names have to do with me. Well they are all names of Blankets made and donated by Sara here in the UK for SIBOL. She has been very busy over the past few weeks making these Blankets up and on Saturday I received them in the post, how very kind. I'm sure you would like to take a look at them all now.

I've made a Slide Show for you! Sit back and enjoy! What super Blankets! They are all so pretty, cozy and warm. I love them all. These Blankets will be hand-delivered to the Nursing Homes I visit in the next few weeks.

Which is your favourite? I think mine has to be the 'mile-a-minute afghan called 'Dorothy'. Read more about them at SIBOL. They all have names!

Thanks for visiting 'Mrs Twins' today!

Eight donated Blankets Today!

Good Evening to you all!

I have felt quite overwhelmed today because in the post this morning I received 8 donated Blankets from the MSE Knitting Forum. Squares have been sent in to Chalky (Linda) and she has very kindly assembled them in to Blankets 'Lappycuddlyghan's' and sent them to 'SIBOL'.

These Blankets are just the prettiest things. The Squares are really interesting, both Knitted and Crocheted. They are all in a variety of colours and the borders are great too.

I can never thank Linda enough for assembling these Blankets and my thanks also go to the Ladies on MSE.

Now if you would like to see these Blankets in more detail, why not pop over to 'SIBOL!'. I have made a Slide Show for you all!

Thanks so much.The Elderly are going to love these Blankets!

Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!

Hello Everyone!

Yes I do have some gorgeous work to show you!

Today I have received a stunning Blanket from Sara here in the UK. Her RAV name is Sistersestina and she has been busy making a 'Wool-Eater' Blanket for SIBOL! The Blanket is called 'Radiating Rainbow' and the colours are just superb!

I'm going to give you a little look but why not pop over to 'SIBOL' and have a look at her Slide Show!

I'm very grateful to you Sara for donating this wonderful Blanket for our Elderly here in the UK! Your work is amazing!

The other Blanket which has arrived today is from Beverley  baw1812 (RAV) here in the UK. Beverley wanted the 'SIBOL' experience of making some Squares up for me and the outcome is 'Cappuccino!'. A great name for this Blanket so appropriate! Such interesting Squares from all over the World have helped make this Blanket! Thanks to everyone for contributing them!

A sneaky peep again, pop over to SIBOL and read all about it! Thank you Bev!

Thanks for visiting 'Mrs Twins' today!

Ta - Dah! Introducing No. 151! Creeping up!

Good Evening and welcome to 'Mrs Twins'.

Here yet again is another stunning Blanket made for our 'SIBOL' Group. It has been made and donated by 'jenniferanne' (RAV). How kind is that! It really  is a lovely Blanket yet again for our Elderly Residents in Nursing Homes. I can't believe that this Blanket is Number 151 too!

This Blanket is called 'Raspberry Sundae' and the Blanket is jenniferannes' own design!  The colours have worked so well together and I love it. Thank you very much indeed!

Let's take a closer look now.
