New SIBOLS today!

Good Evening Everyone!

Thanks for popping in to SIBOL today! I am extremely happy to be showcasing three new SIBOLS!

A few weeks ago Kirsty contacted me and asked if she could help me make a Blanket up. I was only too pleased to send 25 Squares out to her and today I received the Blanket back. I am very grateful for your help Kirsty, now you have had the 'SIBOL' experience! Seriously, you made a wonderful job of assembling the Squares and the border was really nice too. I think this is a really lovely Blanket. I am so pleased you enjoyed working with the Squares, thank you. I would also like to thank everyone who contributed Squares for this particular Blanket.

Let's take a look now.

Thanks to everyone that contributed Squares for this Blanket. Thank you Kirsty for assembling this one for me!

It was a bumper day for Blankets today finding two large parcels in my porch this morning. The other parcel arrived from Sally here in the UK. Sally has made several Blankets now which she has very kindly donated to SIBOL and I'm sure you will agree she has made a wonderful job of incorporating both Knitted and Crocheted Squares. They are wonderful Blankets and I know they will give a lot of warmth and comfort to an Elderly person. You are so kind Sally to spend such a lot of time working for our Group, I appreciate it very much. Thank you!

A wonderful Blanket made by Sally both Knitted and Crocheted Squares. Sally has made several Blankets for SIBOL, and I'm sure you will agree they are beautiful!

Sally also sent Butterflies and Flower Embellishments I am terribly grateful thank you so much.

Let's take a look now at the Slide Show. Thank you Kirsty for your help. Thank you Sally!

Thank you for visiting 'SIBOL' this evening!

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

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!
