'SIBOL' - Sunshine International Blankets of Love: A Double Ta

Monday, 25 April 2011

A Double Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOLS 62 and 63.

Hello Everyone!

I do hope everyone has had a nice Easter break. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and it's given us a chance to catch up on a few jobs around the garden. We aren't completely straight yet after having our patio re-laid but I've managed to take some photos of our new 'Sunshine Blankets'. I've had such fun making these two Blankets. SIBOL 63, is actually coming under our 'Spring Challenge' and the other one is made from a collection of Flower Squares I had in the 'Square Stash!'.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed Squares for these two Blankets.

Here's SIBOL 62

Thanks to everyone that has contributed Squares for this 'Sunshine Blanket'. 'please add note' if you see your Square.

Here's SIBOL 63!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed Squares for this 'Sunshine Blanket'. 'please add note!'

We have two more 'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly with the most beautiful Squares, thank you so much for your support.

Have a nice evening!

x Sue x

Sue, these are both beautiful. Isn't it exciting when it's time for a Ta Dah? I love the way each blanket has it's own character.

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!
