Think Pink arrives from Belgium!

Good morning!

I hope you are all having a lovely Saturday!  My SIBOL work does not stop even at the weekends and this morning I received a parcel from ATheeC in Belgium. 'Tinka' has very kindly sent me some wonderful SIBOL goodies!

First of all I would like to show you Think Pink (4). ATheeC has very kindly assembled our special blanket for Breast Cancer Care. Our SIBOLETTES have once again been working so hard making 'pink' Squares. These Breast Cancer Care blankets are one of our favourite Challenges. We enjoy making the Squares but we also enjoy raising money for this worthwhile cause.

Let's take a look at this gorgeous pink blanket!

Aren't the Squares wonderful! Thanks to everyone that made a Square for this blanket and thanks ATheeC for assembling it. You certainly have made a wonderful job!


Created with flickr slideshow.     ATheeC also sent some Squares for SIBOL.   Some Butterfly Squares which are so pretty.  I have the link for this tutorial on Luna's Blog.       A beautiful card sent by ATheeC with a Crocheted Flower inside and also some   Stash Squares!     Very pretty thank you!   To my complete surprise I found another blanket inside the box. This was made by Tinka's friend Vera. She has used the Willow pattern to make this wonderful blanket. How very thoughtful! What wonderful colours this blanket is made in and how delicate looking.       Vera your kindness is very much appreciated. I am so glad that Tinka has a friend to share her love of Crocheting with!   Let's take a look at the Slide Show I have made for you!  
Created with flickr slideshow.   I found some ideal Butterflies and some pretty ribbon to decorate your blanket thank you very much! I would also like to thank you for the Square you sent to me!     What a lot of Crocheting you have done for our Group, thank you Vera!   I also had a Square from Maria another friend of Tinka's.     Another pretty Square. Maria has contributed to SIBOL before thank you very much!   Our Think Pink blankets will be sold to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.   Thanks to everyone for visiting 'SIBOL' today!   Thank you Tinka, Maria and Vera for supporting SIBOL!   x Sue x

A pretty Flower blanket!

Good Evening and welcome to 'Mrs Twins',

I have written two posts today so I do hope you will scroll down and read the previous one. Our lovely Fiona in the Netherlands has  very kindly made up our 3rd Think Pink blanket and I really would love you to see it. This blanket is going to be sold by 'Silent Auction' on the 'SIBOL' Blog very soon.
Now today is quite an eventful day for me and our 'SIBOLETTES'.  I have now finished all of our 'SIBOL' Challenges and today I would like to present our 'Irish Rose' blanket. But before I do may I just keep you in the picture.

I have a couple of  'take a bags' due to arrive back at 'Two Times' very soon, I hope in time for my November deliveries. Now apart from this I have about 20 odd size Squares which are spare. I would like to thank everyone on RAVELRY  who have been supporting me with 'take a bag'. I have had hundreds of Squares over the last 3 years and I am very pleased to be telling you that all of these Squares have now been used up. What an accomplishment for all of us! 

We have made some wonderful blankets and the final ones will be delivered mid - November. We have all been really busy once again this year and what fun we've had.

As my last Challenge blanket is finished, I am going to write our 'SIBOL' cards out for the blankets and get them ready for the homes, up-date our 'SIBOL' Blog, sort out our next  'SIBOL' Challenges  and of course up-date my photo albums. There are many bits and pieces I need to do before I start  collecting Squares again.  We are however still collecting Squares for our Marie Curie Cancer Care Challenge.

I can't thank you all enough for your friendship and wonderful support with the 'SIBOL' project. You are all such a lovely group of Ladies and it's a pleasure to know you all.

Let's take a look now at 'Irish Rose' a beautiful blanket and the Challenge was suggested by jenn1feranne and I am very grateful to her. This is my favourite Challenge I just absolutely love this blanket.



A closer look now!

Our 3rd Think Pink!

Hello Everyone!

As I told you yesterday I had three blankets arrive from Fiona in the Netherlands. I showed you two of them but I didn't show you 'Think Pink' (3). This is an amazing blanket and we will be raising money for Breast Cancer Care very soon.

I would like to thank Fiona for putting the Squares together and I would like to thank everyone else who took part in this particular Challenge. Such a variety of pretty pink Squares  and they have all been made beautifully.  I've had fun this afternoon taking some photos and now I would like to share them with you.

Let's take a look at Think Pink (3). Notice the 'SIBOL' Butterfly hanging at the bottom along with a tiny Breast Cancer Care charm and ribbons! How cute are these! Thanks so much Fiona for putting these wonderful Squares together. I love the blanket.

I've made a Slide Show for you all thank you!

The blankets keep arriving!

Good Afternoon everyone!

I wrote an earlier post showing you Lesley's wonderful blanket that I received this morning, but I've had to come back because I have had three more blankets arrive this afternoon by courier. They have arrived from Fiona (Netherlands) on RAVERLY.  I do hope you will scroll down and have a look at Lesley's blanket. It was so pretty!  I have to load the blankets up more or less as soon as they arrive or else I will get behind.

Fiona has worked so hard for SIBOL this year making her own blankets and indeed making Squares up for me and today I received two blankets back which were from our 'take a bag' thread. This is where our SIBOLETTES have been giving me a hand get up to date with our blankets. I am very grateful to everyone that has given me a hand with them also.  Not only did I receive back 'two take a bags' but......I have received 'Think Pink 3' back. Fiona has very kindly assembled 25 Squares for me and very soon  I will be putting the blanket up for sale on the SIBOL Blog.  I will be inviting you to take part in a 'Silent Auction' so you can possibly own one of our Think  Pinks! OOh, what an exciting afternoon I am having and I thought it was going to be quiet. I was planning to get the border finished this afternoon on Irish Rose, but I have been busy taking photos and loading up.....I will show you now what's come in from our dear Fiona.




Fiona has assembled these 25 Squares so...well, just take a look at them. Wonderful Squares from all over the World, thanks so much everyone for sending them in to me.
Then we have some Black and White Squares, not enough to make a blanket but Fiona has worked her magic with these Squares and she has added her own mark to them. What a fantastic blanket! Oooh, it's one of those afternoons where I am sitting here bubbling over with excitement!

This one is called 'Silver Cross' can you see why? Another beautiful blanket Fiona! Thanks so....much for all your hard work on these 'take a bag' Squares!

I am going to keep you in suspense for 'Think Pink' (3). It will be showcased shortly.....Can you wait? I hope so.

Let's have a closer look now at these blankets!

SIBOL 311!

Welcome to 'Mrs Twins',

I would like to thank Lesley here in the UK for a blanket that she has sent in to me today. This really is very pretty.  It's made in great colours and I think it's definitely for a Lady! Very feminine and delicate looking. I love this one.  You've spent a lot of time making the Squares Lesley and putting them altogether and I just want you to know that I appreciate all your hard work. Thank you very much.

Let's take a look now.



Superb isn't it?
Here's your Slide Show Lesley!





Another wonderful blanket for an Elderly person.
This will be delivered in a few weeks time when I go out on my final deliveries of the year!

What pretty Grannies!

Good Afternoon!
I'm  very happy to be showing you two Blankets which have arrived today from Trudy in Wales. She very kindly offered to make up a bag of 25 Squares for me and she has made a beautiful job of putting them altogether. The Squares for this blanket have come from all over the World and they are so pretty, all different and very interesting. The border is lovely too. Let's take a look at it now.

Not only did she make a bag of Squares up for me Trudy also made and donated a Granny Square Blanket. This Blanket is lovely, made up of beautiful colours which really compliment each other and to finish off a border which you can find here.




Gorgeous Blankets Trudy thanks so much. Let's take a look at the Slide Show now!




Thank you very much Trudy...
