Some interesting Blankets to show you today!

Good Afternoon everyone!

May I first of all ask Glenda to contact me please.
I'm sorry I can't put my hands on your email address.

I am very pleased to be showing you two Blankets which Glenda has sent to me today. They really are so different from each other.

A Pink and White one......

What an interesting pattern! It's taken from the 'Interlocking Crochet' book by Tanis Galik.
I love this Blanket.

The second one with multi-coloured Squares comes from the ChainReaction Afghan which is free from 'Interweave Crochet'.

Glenda I absoloutely love these Blankets. Your work is truly amazing and how kind of you to donate them both to our 'SIBOL' Group for the Elderly. The second one really has some very interesting Squares and I love the colours that you have made it in. I have made a Slide Show for you, sit back and enjoy!

Please contact me if you are reading this post. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find your email address. I have put a letter in the post 1st Class to you to thank you for these gorgeous Blankets just in case you don't see my post.

Our Blankets are going to be delivered very soon, so please stay tuned and read about my deliveries.

Thank you Glenda and thanks to everyone for visiting 'SIBOL'

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

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!
