Grannies Galore! (UK)

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I'm very pleased to be showing you some Granny Squares which actually arrived yesterday morning. But these ones were'nt delivered by the Postie, they were actually hand-delivered by Glynis. Now I have got to know Glynis through the Nursing Home where her Mother lives which is St. Bernards. Glynis very kindly sent me a thank you card a while back and we've since chatted on the telephone.

Unfortunately I was out when Glynis called round and I'm so pleased my neighbour accepted the Squares from her. What a shame I missed her. I'm hoping to see her again soon and deliver some Blankets to the Nursing Home where her Mother lives.

I'm sure you would love to see the Squares and she's also made some cute Butterflies too!

Glynis (UK) Popped to my house today, and guess what I was out! Her mother is in one of the Nursing Homes I went to and on Thursday hopefully I am going to meet Glynis. She made all these Butterflies, Squares for SIBOL! Wow! Thank you Glynis!

I couldn't believe it when I opened the bag! 3 Blankets worth of Squares!

Thank you Glynis and I'm so sorry I missed you!

Aren't they gorgeous! Such a lot of wonderful Squares each one a different colour, thanks so much Glynis and I'm really pleased you enjoyed making them. I look forward to meeting you soon.

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!
