Some Good News (I hope).

Hi Everyone!

Just a bit of news for you. I don't know whether anyone has signed up for Rachel's Crochet Spot Newsletter. If you haven't I would recommend you do so. She has a Crocheting web site where she has lots of fantastic information about Crocheting. She has information on Charities, Crocheting Patterns, tutorials etc., It's fantastic.

Now yesterday when I received the Newsletter, she was asking if anyone would like to be a 'Guest Writer'. Well I thought what an opportunity for me to write something about 'SIBOL'. I submitted an article to her, and it seems as though she is going to use it in a few weeks time. Her Newsletter goes out to loads of people and I feel this might be a really good way of 'spreading the word'. I'm hoping we will get a really good response for our 'Sunshine Blankets' through her.

Please go and check it out, and sign up. Then hopefully when she sends the Newsletter out you will have the article about 'SIBOL'. Good idea do you think? I hope so.

Morning Sue - I will check out the website - sounds like a great idea to me - you are going to be snowed under with squares! How lovely if you ever need to 'sub-contract' I don't mind joining some together if it helps! **Kim**x

I'm fine at the moment, 'coping' but thanks for the offer Kim.
Isn't SIBOL GREAT? X

I'm with Kim here. I can see an avalanche of squares coming your way very soon with all this publicity.

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

I live in the UK.

With the help of my on-line friends we

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

to Elderly Residents in Care/Nursing Homes.

Would you like to help us?

We no longer accept Squares but we do accept

your Crocheted and Knitted Blankets. We also

accept Knitted and Crocheted Shawls.

My address is only available by email.

Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

All details are on

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

The project was started in Memory of my

Grandmother.

Thank you!

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

Thank you.

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!
