Why not make a Daffodil Square for 'Marie Curie Cancer Care?' Join us on SIBOL!

Good Morning everyone!

May I remind you we are collecting 6" Knitted and Crocheted Squares with Daffodils as the theme. So why not put your skills to the test! My aim is to make 9 Blankets covered in those beautiful Daffodils which we hopefully will donate to Marie Curie Cancer Care Hospices around the country.

I have some links for you for some great Daffodil Squares that Luna and Debi have designed themselves, why not pop to their Blogs and have a go!

First of all I have a Square from Brenda to show you. Brenda is my best friend and helps me out too with beautiful 'SIBOL' business cards! She's so talented whether it be Crocheting, Knitting or the Computer! Thank you so much for the package received today! It's very nice of you.

Here's Brenda's Daffodil Square. Love the blue Square such a pretty pattern.

BrendaS2 'Daffodil Challenge'. So pretty! Thank you!

Thank you very much 'jean nock' too, for the beautiful Squares received today!

Great Squares for our Snowman and Owl Challenge are just lovely!

Created with flickr slideshow. I'm making the Faces Blanket up at the moment. I'll be back soon. 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!
