Does anyone want to help us make the 'Sunniest Sunshine Blanket Ever?! ' - Good News about 'SIBOL'. Pilar's Squares have arrived from Spain, please come over and have a look!

Hi Everyone!

I don't know whether anyone has signed up for  Rachel's Crochet Spot Newsletter. If you haven't I seriously hope you will go and check her site out. It's full of wonderful Crocheting information. She has articles on Charities, Tutorials, Patterns and lots of other great things. She even has a shop.

When I received the Newsletter yesterday she was asking whether anyone would like to be a 'Guest writer'.  You can write anything about Crocheting.  So I took the opportunity of writing an article about our 'Sunshine Blankets'.  She emailed me back today and has said that she will be posting the article in the next few weeks. So I'm hoping you 'll all pop across to her, get signed up, and then when the article is published you'll be able to read about our 2010 project.

I'm hoping this will get our project promoted and that we'll receive 'tons' of Squares.  I have warned Mr. Twins!

Can I just remind 'newbies' that I'm still making the 'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly.  Details are in the side bar of the requirements.

Also we have a special 'Sunshine Blanket' to make.  This one was suggested by Karin.  She wants us to make the 'Sunniest Sunshine Blanket Ever!'.  This has to have a 'Sun' theme.  It might be a brightly coloured Square, or even have a 'Sun' image crocheted on.  Let your imagination run riot with you! The Deadline is 21st April, so if you want to have a go please do. It's got to be a  6" Knitted or Crocheted Square, Acrylic if possible. Contact sueatpigsty@talktalk.net for my Home address. I'll be donating this special 'Sunshine Blanket' to a local Nursing home along with the other 'Sunshine Blankets' November time. 

I'm welcoming everyone that is new to 'Mrs. Twins' and  'SIBOL' and I hope you'll join us we're having a lot of fun over on 'SIBOL' showing the latest 'Sunshine Squares'. It's a 'team bloggin' effort and it really seems to be successful in the short amount of time we have been running. We now have 30 Followers.

Thank you.


Here's my 'Sunny Square again!'. I'm inviting anyone to join in the fun. Would you like to make a 'Sunny Square' for one of our 'Sunshine Blankets'. I hope you will pop over to my blogs and read about our challenge!'


Wonderful Squares arrived this morning from  Flickr Pertinitaco (Pilar)  in Spain aren't they beautiful?
Pilar has used some beautiful yarn in these Squares.  They have a great texture and they really are as bright as can be.  She's made 6 - 6" Squares and a beautiful 12" one too! Thanks so much for your help Pilar. I hope you enjoy looking at Pilar's Squares on the Slide show. Thank you!
