'Ta - Dah! 'One for The Guys!'

Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL 124. 'One for the Guys!'

Hello Everyone!

Thank you very much for visiting SIBOL today!

I'm very happy to be showcasing a beautiful Blanket which was donated to SIBOL yesterday. It has been made by Craftymizz (Steph) and it's absolutely gorgeous! This really is a wonderful pattern and the colours co-ordinate so well together.

I have made some of our usual Butterflies to go with the Blanket and I have added some ribbon too. I'm very grateful to you Steph.

If you would like to have a go at the Butterflies then please follow the link to Netties' Blog over in Australia!

It's really very kind of you to donate this Blanket to SIBOL and I know for a fact that it will give someone a lot of warmth and comfort knowing that someone has lovingly made it.

Let's have a look at Stephs' Blanket now!

This Blanket has very kindly been made and donated by Craftymizz (Steph) (UK)

Created with flickr slideshow.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at Steph's Blanket!Thank you Steph.

Thanks to everyone that has donated Squares to the 'Your Local Landscape' Challenge, I am in the process of finishing the Blanket off now.

I do hope everyone has a great weekend and please stay tuned to SIBOL, our 'Think Pink' Blanket will have it's Ta - Dah! very soon indeed! You will have a chance to bid for the Blanket on EBAY! This will raise money for 'Breast Awareness'.

Bye for now!

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!
