I'm back!

Hello everyone!

I must apologise for the delay in putting the blankets and squares on to our SIBOL Blog. Due to 'circumstances beyond my control - family commitments'. I haven't been able to find any free time for taking
photos and posting them on to my SIBOL Blog. I have such a lot to show you, wonderful blankets and squares! So tomorrow once Mr. Twins has gone off to watch his British Touring Cars I will seriously get down to my work. I am having 'withdrawal symptoms' I have to tell you. I do love my 'beloved SIBOL' and I know you do too. I know you love looking at the gorgeous blankets and I just want you to know that I am grateful for everything that arrives at my home for the Elderly.

It's not very often that I am away from 'SIBOL' so I hope you will excuse me this time for delaying my posts.

Well here goes.

We are now on SIBOL 264! Can you believe that? The numbers are adding up and thanks to the many Ladies that contribute to my project we certainly are very successful!

Let's take a look at this pretty Lilac blanket.

Thank you for these gorgeous squares. So pretty!

I hope you like it. Thank you to everyone that contributed squares for this gorgeous blanket. I am very grateful to you.

Are you interested in a Freeform challenge? Pop over to our SIBOL RAV GROUP?

Are you interested in our Daffodil Challenge for 'Marie Curie Cancer Care?' Pop over to SIBOL RAV GROUP?

We are collecting squares to make blankets with Daffodils as a theme. We are inviting you to join us. Thank you.

Thanks everyone on RAVELRY for keeping the threads going for me while I've been busy. I do appreciate it and I'll be back tomorrow with some more blankets from the Netherlands.

Bye for now!

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

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!
