You're right Karin.
A number is nothing. A name is something.
Let's throw it out to everyone! I'm useless at names.
I think if we can come up with a wacky square. It might be a 'logo' for us! What do you think?
OOh, my mind won't rest, with all this excitement this evening. It will be me who can't sleep!
Hugs to you and so many thanks for your wonderful idea. We have to publicise this new 'Sunniest Sunshine Blanket!'.

Boy of boy!!!!! Karin is on fire with ideas. Sounds a bit like The Garden Bell has got to her ☺
My only suggestion, without too much thinking - Sue mentioned that the purple and green were her mothers favourite colours - can we call her by her christian name or a family nickname???????

Mom's name is 'Alice' Bit difficult?
NO nickname. She's just the best person in the World!
She loves purple and green. Her garden is full of purple flowers, green grass of course.
Her house well she has purple carpets, green carpets. Purple ornaments, green ornaments. Everything matches.
Thanks ladies!

SIBOL Squares From Australia By Annette Young.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
