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!

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!

Important Notices

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!
