Your last chance to own SIBOL Blankets!

Hello Everyone,

I have two beautiful Blankets to show you today, but firstly can I remind you that our auction ends shortly today on three SIBOL Blankets we have on EBAY.

The links for EBAY are over to the right of the Blog scroll down 'under favourites' 'Rule Britannia'. 'Jubilation' and 'Mae'. Please support Alzheimer's!

joyce28 here in the UK has very kindly made and donated two gorgeous Blankets. The first a fruit one, just take a look at the fruit Squares Joyce has knitted. She has put them together so well in this Blanket. It is so 'mouth-watering!'. The border matches the Squares so well and I just love this Blanket.The name will be 'Nice and Fruity!.

Look at the fruit on this Blanket! Makes your mouth water! Thank you very much Joyce!

Joyce has been so kind because not only has she made the above Blanket she has also designed a beautiful 'Diamond Jubilee' Blanket', called 'Celebrations!'. I can't get over the creativity of the Ladies in our SIBOL Group. Just take a look at the individual Squares in this Blanket they have been made with such a lot of thought. I added some 'SIBOL Butterflies' to both Blankets and some ribbon too. Joyce has been working so quietly on both of these Blankets and I am so pleased that she thinks our SIBOL project is worthy of her donations.

This is a special 'Diamond Jubilee' Blanket made by joyce28. Thank you so much Joyce! Wonderful!

Golly they both are amazing! I am so grateful to you Joyce. A lot of hard work has gone into these Blankets. I would like to thank Sally too at this point for the beautiful Blankets she sent in to SIBOL yesterday. I would love you to go back a post and have a look at them. Such kindness from the Ladies in our SIBOL Group.

For those who haven't popped in to SIBOL recently I have had to put a hold on accepting 'Stash Squares'. The reason is because I really need to use the Squares up which I have got here. I do hope you understand. I do still need 'Challenge Squares' and details are over on the Challenge Blog. I do still need Blankets too for our Elderly folk. So please join in where-ever you can. Our SIBOL Group is not ending. I do still love it as much as I did before but I have to be realistic in what I can and can't do now.

I will leave you with a Slide Show I have made for the two Blankets received today! Have fun viewing. Thank you very much Joyce and thanks to you all for popping in to SIBOL!

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!
