Tuesday Squares from the UK.

Hi Everyone!

Some brightly coloured Squares arrived today from the UK! From Bonsall.

These colours seem to go so well, lovely and bright just right for our 'sun' theme blankets. I am so.....pleased Bonsall wanted to help us with Squares and when she can she's going to do a few more! So I'll look forward to that. She's got such a lovely selection of Amigurumi dolls and she's even made some 'Jedwards' off the T.V. For our friends abroad these two twin boys were recently on a talent show here in the UK. They were really cute lads, and had a really weird hairstyle. Bonsall has made two dolls resembling them and they are so....wacky. They even have girlfriends! So comical. Well done Bonsall. Please pop over and have a look at them. I know Ladies from the Knitting forum would love to see them as they have recently been making knitted dolls after seeing 'Harry Hills TV burp show'.

Look at these bright Squares from bonvillespics! UK. Aren't they gorgeous! Arrived today. Thank you!

Bonsalls' Squares are over to the left in the Slide Show.

These are beautiful. I want to thank you for all your help. You can see the fruits of my labour on my blog now. I would like to make some squares for you as well so please email me with your details. Please also can you let me know how many rounds I should do with either a size 4 or 3.5 hook and double knitting wool. Thanks for everything. xx

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

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

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!
