So why I joined this wonderful project?
Because I love crocheting, in fact, I can't stop doing it, it's an addiction.
Because Sue has found a way of helping others doing what she (and all of us Sibolettes) love.
Because I worked for a while in a Nursing Home, and I know how too often people living there are somehow forgotten.
.Because she's proving that we ordinary people can do things to really change the world.
Maybe just a little corner of the world, but we are doing it. People from everywhere, no matter race, nationality or religion. I belong to that wonderful group and it feels soooo great!!!
For all that, thanks a lot Mrs Twins for starting this and for keeping it up with enthusiasm!
And now, I'd better get hooking or I'll be late for this month's challenges!!
Thanks for visiting and see you around!
great tribute to the lady who spurs us on!! You have been a part of this group for much longer than me, but I agree with you completely. Sue is amazing, and so are the ladies who keep her dream going!!! Your squares are always an inspiration Pilar!!! Lovely post!
ResponderEliminarGreat tribute for Sue, she is a very special lady. One of the most caring people I know. Your squares are always lovely. Many people will enjoy your squares for a long time. Thanks for doing this for Sue as why I belong to SIBOL. I am putting some squares in the mail for her tomorrow. Cathy
ResponderEliminarOh goodness me. I have just popped in before I 'retire' to dream land. I shall go to bed happy now thinking of all your sweet words.
ResponderEliminarI can't tell you how wonderfully happy SIBOL makes me! Its' given me something to focus on now my daughters are older. I needed a purpose and I think I have found one.
My Mother came today I spent a lovely afternoon with her. She sat on the sofa and I lay all the blankets across her. Her favourite one was Alice In Sunshinland I think karin called it by that name because of my Mother liking purple. She said (shes 80) that all the blankets were just so warm and beautiful. I Bought down two plastic storage boxes and then she had to sit through another one! Not more she said. She just couldn't believe the amount of Squares you had all sent in. Sue she said. 'How on earth have you had the patience to put all these together!'. I showed her a bag of blues I have to do, this is how they come Mom I said. This is how they end up in a blanket. she just loved looking at them, thoroughly enjoyed her afternoon. Then she read the blog SIBOL the visit to the Nursing Home she loved everything. She loved her afternoon too! She thought you were all so amazing. I have so many ideas, I dont know if I can ever stop! I'm just loving it.
Its you dear Ladies I have to thank for making my dream come true.
Marilyn, Cathy,

Hugs to you all,
Sue and thanks for the great post Pilar! x
thanks girls! Its the least I could do, SIBOL has given me so much!!
ResponderEliminarSue, I think your mum is amazing, just had this idea, why don't you give her one of the blankets? Well, if it wasn't for her you wouldn't be here after all, would you? And all this wouldn't be happening, hehe!
