It's nearly Valentines Day!

Hi everyone!

I'm very pleased to be showing you two super Blankets which arrived at the weekend from joyce28.

The first one is a beautiful Heart Blanket. This Blanket was a complete surprise and it was made out of Granny Squares. What a wonderful design! I love the combination of colours in this Blanket. I wonder whether joyce28 made it especially as we are near to Valentines Day? I have added two Butterflies and a dangling Heart. I think I shall keep this Blanket and give it out when I take the Challenge Blankets in. It really is another piece of Art!

What a beauty! The Heart really stands out against the Green I think.

The second Blanket is 'Think Pink' (5). joyce28 has very kindly assembled 25 Squares for our Breast Cancer Care fund raising. I would like to thank everyone who contributed Squares for this special Blanket, it surely is a stunner. I love it. joyce28 you have made a great job of putting it altogether, the border finishes it off nicely too. I love the variety of the Squares in this Blanket.

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this gorgeous Blanket.

Not only did I have these two Blankets arrive I also had a donation of Squares for our Challenges. You are one talented Lady joyce28. These Squares are amazing I love them.

Thank you too for the Butterfly and Ribbons, very nice of you. I hope you have enjoyed your Slide Shows thank you so much for all your help!

I also received a Square from Kiki, this was sent to me by Joyce. It was left over from Think Pink (5) and will be used as soon as I can. Thank you!

Does your website have a contact page? I'm having problems locating it but, I'd like to shoot you
an email. I've got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

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!
