Daffodil Squares and two beautiful Blankets to show you!

Hi everyone!

I would like to thank 'jean nock' for her parcel yesterday. Inside I found a Blanket that she has very kindly assembled for me and also one that she had made herself. These two Blankets are gorgeous. So...pretty! Let's take a look at the one she has made herself and very kindly donated to 'SIBOL'.

A beautiful Blanket, gorgeous Flower Squares.

The colour combinations in this Blanket work so well together, don't you think? Lovely Flower Squares in the centre. It's terribly kind of you 'jean nock' to donate this gorgeous Blanket to the Elderly. Thank you.

Now I'll show you the 'take a bag' Squares. These have all been made in super pastel colours, beautifully assembled and I think the border goes so well together.

Thanks to 'jean nock' for assembling. Thanks everyone for sending in such pretty Squares!

Once again we are gathering together a great selection of Blankets which we donate to the Elderly. They are so pretty and I know for a fact each one is so well received. Thanks to everyone who sent in Squares for this particular Blanket. They are really nice.

I'm going to combine the two Blankets in a Slide Show now for you!

Created with flickr slideshow. As well as receiving these two super Blankets, I also received 5 Daffodil Squares from 'jean nock' for our Marie Curie Cancer Care Challenge. It's so nice to see what you are coming up with for this Challenge and I'm sure we are going to make some really interesting Blankets to give to the Hospices up and down the Country.
Created with flickr slideshow. Thank you 'jean nock' I do love your Daffodil Squares! I just love the realistic centres too! If there is anything you want to know about our Blankets or indeed our Daffodil Challenge please email me Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net Thanks for stopping by! 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

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!
