Lots of colour in a new SIBOL Blanket.

Hello and thanks for visiting 'SIBOL',

Yesterday my computer was playing up and I didn't have chance to post this beautiful Blanket. It surely is so pretty. I love the centres in these Squares and I love all the colours, everything works so well on this Blanket. Daphne also sent me some Butterflies for our Stash. I am very grateful thank you so much. It has a very nice border too which finishes it off beautifully. What a treat for an Elderly Lady!

Let's take a look now.

OOh it's gorgeous!

Did you spot the Butterflies for our Blankets? Thank you Daphne, this is so terribly kind of you !
Please contact me Daphne, thank you!
3.30 Wednesday afternoon.
I have to tell you. I have just had a phone call from Mrs Russell (92) at Selly Wood House. On our last Blanket Deliveries she received 'Pink Gingham' made and donated by Glenda. Mrs. Russell rang to say thank you for the beautiful Blanket she has received.
I had a lovely chat with her and I told her all about the Ladies in my Group and all the wonderful work we do. She had never heard about us before. I told her all about my Grandmother and why I started this project and she said it is so nice to know that there are so many kind people in the World.
This phone call has really made me quite emotional, how nice of this Lady to telephone me. Mrs Russell tells me she plays the Keyboard and sadly she can't get about as she did but she enjoys Music Sheets and Books which the local library send to her.
So thank you very much Glenda for making this wonderful Blanket. Mrs. Russell said she loved the Blanket it was perfect in every way, so pretty and neat. She was absolutely over the moon on receiving it.

NOTE:- On Friday I sent off 4 Blankets to Selly Wood House Nursing Home. These were the ones that came in from Soneita and her Mother in Spain and the one from Daphne here in the UK. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take them in myself as things are rather busy round here so I put them in the post to them. Thank you all very much!

332. Daphne Thank you very much for this beautiful donated Blanket.

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!
