Our Think Pink (4) is finished!

Good morning!

I hope you are all having a lovely Saturday! My SIBOL work does not stop even at the weekends and this morning I received a parcel from ATheeC in Belgium. 'Tinka' has very kindly sent me some wonderful SIBOL goodies!

First of all I would like to show you Think Pink (4). ATheeC has very kindly assembled our special blanket for Breast Cancer Care. Our SIBOLETTES have once again been working so hard making 'pink' Squares. These Breast Cancer Care blankets are one of our favourite Challenges. We enjoy making the Squares but we also enjoy raising money for this worthwhile cause.

Let's take a look at this gorgeous pink blanket!

Thanks to everyone that took part in this Think Pink (4).

Aren't the Squares wonderful! Thanks to everyone that made a Square for this blanket and thanks ATheeC for assembling it. You certainly have made a wonderful job!

Created with flickr slideshow. ATheeC also sent some Squares for SIBOL. Some Butterfly Squares which are so pretty. I have the link for this tutorial on Luna's Blog.

Card and Butterfly Squares from ATheeC (Belgium).

A beautiful card sent by ATheeC with a Crocheted Flower inside and also some Stash Squares!

Very pretty thank you! To my complete surprise I found another blanket inside the box. This was made by Tinka's friend Vera. She has used the Willow pattern to make this wonderful blanket. How very thoughtful! What wonderful colours this blanket is made in and how delicate looking.

Thank you so much for making this beautiful blanket Vera!

Vera your kindness is very much appreciated. I am so glad that Tinka has a friend to share her love of Crocheting with! Let's take a look at the Slide Show I have made for you!
Created with flickr slideshow. I found some ideal Butterflies and some pretty ribbon to decorate your blanket thank you very much! I would also like to thank you for the Square you sent to me!

What a lot of Crocheting you have done for our Group, thank you Vera! I also had a Square from Maria another friend of Tinka's.

Another pretty Square. Maria has contributed to SIBOL before thank you very much! Our Think Pink blankets will be sold to raise money for Breast Cancer Care. Thanks to everyone for visiting 'SIBOL' today! Thank you Tinka, Maria and Vera for supporting SIBOL! By the way our Owl Blanket is on the Crochet Today's web site! Please follow the link! 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

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!
