Introducing SIBOL No. 20! 'Flower theme No. 5'.

Hi Everyone!

Well it was so nice The Garden Bell popped over to the UK and saw her beautiful Squares today! I'm
pleased she took time out from her beautiful Garden! It was so easy to guess who had sent the Squares over. Thank you Kate! Great fun taking photos of them.

But then I had even more fun......I managed to finish SIBOL No. 20 today. This is 'Flower Theme No.5'. How many more you ask? Well I will have to have a look in my box but there is at least another one! Do I get fed up of doing them? I don't think so. Everyone is so different.

This No. 20 is in my opinion a bit more delicate looking. It certainly weighs less. The Blankets are quite heavy but this one definitely feels lighter I just went for a cream border on this one. I didn't want anything heavy looking around the border edge because the edging of the Squares was cream.

I just love going outside and taking my photos. May I thank you all for your lovely comments I get from time to time and in emails, much appreciated!

Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.

I do hope you have enjoyed SIBOL today!
Thanks for visiting!

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!
