Why not pop in and have a look at our work!

Happy Easter to you all!

If you have time to spare over the Easter break why not pull up a chair, make yourself a cuppa and have a look at the wonderful work done by our 'SIBOLETTES!'. Our Group started in January 2010 and between us all we have made some wonderful Squares which in turn have been made into 'unique Blankets!'. I say 'unique' because no two Blankets are the same!

All of our Blankets except around 20 have been delivered to Nursing Homes locally to me and as far as Dorset and Cheshire. I know for a fact that our Blankets have been so well received by the Staff of the homes and also their Elderly residents. I shall be making a delivery very soon with the ones we have made recently. We of course have made Charity Blankets raising money for Breast Cancer Care, Mencap and Prince William and Kate Middletons Charity Gift Fund when they got married. We also have a 'massive' Blanket in the pipeline hopefully raising money for the Alzheimers Society here in the UK our special 'Olympic Blanket'.

As we have a little time over Easter, why not enjoy looking at our Blankets. If there is anything you wish to know about them please contact me Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

Thanks for popping in!

Dear, Dear Sue,
I wanted some color in my Easter basket today, and now you have given this to me! What beautiful blankets! And what an eye to put them all together! I love them ALL.
Happy Easter to you, you special person, you!
Love,
Kay

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!
