'We've hit 300 'Sunshine Blankets!' (Part 4).

Hello everyone!

I am very pleased to be telling you that we have now reached our 300th 'Sunshine Blanket'. What an achievement! When I started this project I thought of making 6! Now I have just loaded up our 300th!
Wow!

I have spent the majority of the day taking photos for loading up on to Flickr and the SIBOL Blog. I am pretty tired now, but my work must be done today!

On Thursday I met up with Pippa who gave me three bags full of 'SIBOL' goodies and I have just managed this evening to post everything on here for you. So 'please' go back previous posts and view our new Blankets.

I would like to thank Chalky, Pippa and 'jean nock' for their help.

Our 300th Blanket is for the 'Heart Challenge'. Do you remember the one I made a while back? Here it is.

'One Heart From Around The World' Challenge. Thanks everyone great Squares! 'Warming Hearts!' thanks Ellen x

It was called 'One Heart From Around The World' and Luna supplied the Heart diagram. I have it still if anyone wants to try it out.

The second Heart Blanket has a variety of Hearts and I love the colours in them. Thank you so much 'jean nock' for your help assembling this one. 'jean nock' has been very helpful to me. In fact she was the first 'SIBOLETTE' to offer to give me a hand. Always very keen to take 25 Squares off me but now I won't have any more Squares until the New Year. Thank you very much for your kind help.

Heart Challenge is finished thanks to 'jean nock' for assembling.

Such amazing Squares in this Blanket 'as usual!'
Let's take a look at the Slide Show now.

Created with flickr slideshow. Pretty Blanket isn't it? I love it. I have a lot to show you today, please scroll down and look at what's new! x Sue x

Dear Sue,
300! That's wonderful! It won't be long until the blankets from SIBOL will cover the world!
And isn't that a nice thing to think about.
Great job, I am proud of you and all who do such wonderful work.
Love,
KAY

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!
