BIDDING ENDS AT MID DAY FOR 'ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL!'

Good Morning to you all and thanks for visiting 'SIBOL',

Some months ago Chalky of 'Chalky's World' suggested a Challenge for the SIBOL Group. Waiting for her cataract removal operation here in the UK, it got her thinking how fortunate we are here in the UK to be able to have these operations. But can you imagine what it would be like if we lived somewhere else where these operations were not available. She suggested a Challenge for us inspired by the words of 'All things bright and beautiful' and I invited Ladies worldwide to send a design on a  6" Crocheted or Knitted Square with the words from this hymn in mind. We also took inspiration from Louis Armstrongs 'What a Wonderful World'. We have had some amazing Squares and I would like to thank everyone for taking part.

This blanket is now on  EBAY  HERE'S THE LINK.

All of our SIBOL blankets are so unique and this is a one-off piece of work. Perhaps you know someone who has recently had a cataract operation and they too are grateful for the help of the Doctors. All proceeds from this blanket will go to 'Sight Savers', where the money will go towards helping others abroad.

Here's the 'Sight Savers' Link. 

What a gorgeous blanket and it was assembled by jessiebonbon over on RAVELRY

She's made a fabulous job with the wonderful Squares and it's now up to you to bid for it.

What a great Christmas present this would make for someone!

EBAY.

THANK YOU!

I know we are recovering now from the party we had last night for our 500th celebrations but it’s time to get our thinking caps back on because we have another Challenge to complete.

Yes it’s our Jersey Textile Festivals Challenge. 
We have done so well with our 500th Blanket and I would like the Festivals Challenge Blanket to be even better.

The Squares are quite slow coming in for this Challenge and it’s my job now to try and inspire you to pick up those needles and hooks and of course not forgetting ‘your thinking caps!’.

So let’s have some ideas.

Hot air Balloon Festivals 
Wine Festivals 
Book Festivals 
Food Festivals 
Harvest Festivals 
Music Festivals 
Film Festivals, 
Beer Festivals

There are plenty of ideas on ‘Google’. 
Have fun and thank you!

The Blanket will be sent off to Jersey Textile Showcase in time for next March 2014. It will be sold and all proceeds will go to Macmillan Nurses.
