'Flying The Flag' and 'Vintage, Vintage, Vintage!'.

Good Evening!

 

Can we raise some money for Alzheimer's here in the UK? I do hope so. We have made a 63" Square Crocheted Flag Blanket and it is on EBAY   I would be most grateful if you could write about our Blanket on your Blogs and Facebook pages and please, please link us! We are trying to raise as much money as we can. The Blanket comprises of 100 Crocheted Flag Squares made by Group members in the States and UK and was part of our recent Challenge on SIBOL.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TAKE PHOTOS! Thank you!

I have received three beautiful Crocheted Blankets which have a real 'vintage' feel to them. Why not pop over to SIBOL and read the story!

They have come in from Joanna here in the UK, she has worked so hard with these Blankets and I know you are going to love them!

Hi Everyone,

A very colourful Blanket made up of 'Simple Squares'. Knit Today last year very kindly published two patterns which they invited their readers to make and send to SIBOL. The Squares started coming in and I'm very pleased to say I have now finished the third and final Blanket.

Thanks to everyone that sent in Squares for this Challenge and I'm so pleased you enjoyed making them.

Let's take a look now at 'Scrappy Blankie' SIBOL 184.

180!

Good Afternoon to you all!

This is Number 180! A beautiful Knitted Blanket made by Pamela here in the UK. She has very kindly made and donated a stunning Blanket using patterns from a book called 'The Knitting Book"-Yarns, Techniques, Stitches, Patterns by Frederica Patmore & Vikki Haffenden (published by Dorling Kindersley).

It really is a fantastic Blanket, very interesting Squares and a really lovely edging to it. What fun Pamela must have had making this Blanket.

This Blanket did not arrive quite in time for my deliveries to the Homes this week, but it will be kept for the next one.  If you would like to read about my visits please pop over to 'SIBOL'.

Thank you very much Pamela!

Good Morning and welcome to 'Mrs Twins'.

If you would like to pop over to see 'SIBOL' you will see all our latest Blankets on show in the header photograph. I am getting them ready now to deliver to the Elderly over the next few weeks.

This morning I had a beautiful 'Giant Granny' Square arrive. It came from Liztelf here in the UK. Liztelf has certainly made a wonderful Giant Granny Square and the colour combinations make it a striking Blanket. I also received some wonderful Butterflies for our Stash.

Your last chance to own a SIBOL! Why not help Alzheimers!

Hello Everyone!

My EBAY auction runs out today! I am auctioning three Blankets to raise money for Alzheimer's here in the UK which effects so many people in this country and worldwide!  Why not support this worthwhile Charity!

All details are over on SIBOL, please pop over!

I am also extremely pleased to be showcasing two fantastic Blankets which have been sent in by Joyce here in the UK.

What wonderful ideas Joyce has had! The first a mouthwatering 'Fruit' Blanket. 'Nice and Fruity!'.

Aren't the Squares beautiful! But that's not all. Joyce has made a Blanket to celebrate the 'Diamond Jubilee'. Such a lot of thought has once again gone in to this Blanket. I am over the moon that Joyce has been kind enough to donate both Blankets to SIBOL. I will be delivering them to Nursing Homes very soon indeed!

This Blanket is called 'Celebrations!'.

I told you they were nice, thanks so much Joyce I am terribly grateful to you.

Here's a Slide Show now, sit back and enjoy!

Three new Ta - Dah's!

Good Evening!

I would like to thank Sally and Kirsty for sending these Blankets to me today.

Kirsty very kindly offered to help me assemble 25 Squares. She wanted the 'SIBOL' experience. I'm sure you will agree she has put this Blanket together so well I just love it. The Border is beautiful and the shades of Blue are really pretty. I would like to thank everyone who contributed Squares for this particular Blanket.

I also had two Blankets arrive today from Sally here in the UK. Sally has very kindly made and donated these Blankets, how lovely. A combination of Knitted and Crocheted Squares  which have been put together so well.

These Blankets are going to be delivered very soon and I know they will be of great comfort to our Elderly folk.  Thank you both very much!

'Molly' SIBOL 169.

Welcome to 'Mrs Twins'

I have had great fun putting together SIBOL 169. Not only are they all beautiful Squares, happy memories started flooding back too! Do you remember 'Molly?' Yes I know you do. A lovely friend over in the States who sadly passed away sometime ago. The middle Square in this Blanket was made by Molly and so I want to name this Blanket in her Memory. Molly was a lovely person, who gave me lots of advice with SIBOL at the very start over two years ago. She also helped me put my SIBOL button on my Blog. She loved her Crafts as we all do. I hope you enjoy looking at the Squares in this Blanket and I know the Blanket will be giving a lot of comfort to our Elderly folk here in the UK.
I'll leave you now with our Blanket 'Molly'.
