Bank Holiday Fun!

Hello Everyone!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' this afternoon. A pretty miserable day here on Bank Holiday Monday!

I have been having some fun with photos of our SIBOL Blankets. I have been using Dumpr.net photo fun to create some Circles using jenn1ferannes' pretty Blankets!

Do you want to see?

Here's 'Still Waters!'

Here's 'Springtime!'

Here's 'Raspberry Sundae'

The idea came from a paperweight which I had made when I was 21 years of age.

I met Mr. Twins when I was 21 all those years ago and during one of our 'fallings out' he

tried to win back my love..... by bringing me 10 not '12' red roses. Travelling 20 miles on the bus as his car was off the road.

Today while doing my dusting I stopped for a second and looked at this gorgeous ornament I had in my cabinet and thought how nice it would be to make some pretty paperweights using your pretty 'SIBOL' Blankets.

This is what I have done today for 'jenn1feranne' and if you like it I will make more for the other Blankets we have received. Just give me a shout if you would like yours made!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could go into business making 'paperweights' as well as Blankets? :) We surely would have some stunning designs!

I'll leave you with my ornament. These roses have been preserved all these years from my Loving Husband 'Mr. Twins'. x

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!
