'New Beginnings' and Challenge Squares arrive today! Pop in!

Good Morning to you all,

Thank you for visiting 'SIBOL' today.

I am so excited today to be showing you a new 'Sunshine Blanket' for the Elderly and also some Challenge Squares which have arrived today.

The blanket has arrived from Liztelf here in the UK. Liztelf has very kindly made and donated a gorgeous Patchwork Granny Square blanket to SIBOL. I am so...grateful for this wonderful contribution. The colours in this blanket are perfect and you know how much I love Granny Squares.
A great border finishes the blanket off and I have used some Butterflies today from 'jessiebonbon'.

This blanket is really so warm and over the next few weeks I am going to make sure the blanket will be
given to an Elderly person who really would find a lot of comfort from receiving this blanket. Thank you so much Liztelf for putting such a lot of time and effort in to this wonderful blanket. It is very much appreciated.

'New Beginnings' a beautiful Patchwork Granny Blanket.

Liztelf I have made a Slide Show for you now! Sit back and enjoy!

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!
