Knitted and Crocheted blankets are made for our Elderly folk.

Hi everyone!

I'm very happy to be showing you three Knitted blankets which joyce28 has very kindly assembled for me. These squares arrived at my home and I haven't got a clue who they are from so we are going to say they are 'anonymous'. So thank you very much.

Well they are not actually squares, they are rectangles and they have been Knitted beautifully and they are in really bright colours. joyce28 has made a great job of assembling them for me and I love the borders on all three. joyce28 has added some Crocheted rectangles on the one blanket.

These three blankets seem so much warmer now they are assembled up. I'm sure they will give a lot of comfort to an Elderly person.

Superb job Joyce thank you!

'jean nock' has very kindly assembled a Crocheted blanket up for me. The squares are so pretty and I would like to thank everyone who sent in squares for this one. We certainly are making some great one off blankets for our Elderly folk. Aren't they all different? No two are exactly the same! I'm sure you've noticed. Thanks very much 'jean nock' for your help once again.

I'm very happy to be showing you the four new blankets arrived today!

Created with flickr slideshow. I am also very excited because today the book I ordered from Amazon has just arrived! It's called 'Crochet Saved my Life' and it's written by one of our fellow Bloggers 'Kathryn Vercillo of 'Crochet Concupiscence' over in the States.

'Crochet Saved My Life by Kathryn Vercillo. (Available on Amazon).

I'm very happy because 'SIBOL' has been mentioned on Page 286 in the 'Crocheting for Charity' section of the book. This is really, really good! Thanks so much Kathryn! We've never been in a book before! So tonight I shall 'retire early' and take up a cup of hot chocolate up to bed and have a good read! I can't wait. I hope you have enjoyed looking at the new blankets! Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today! x Sue 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!

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

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!
