Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL 358!

Good Afternoon to you all!

If you are visiting our Blog through 'Simply Knitting' then Welcome!
I'm so pleased you have followed the link to us.

We are an on-line Crocheting and Knitting Group based in Birmingham, UK with members worldwide. Together we make 'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly in Care/Nursing Homes/Sheltered Accommodation.

I am inviting you to make 6" Squares Crocheted or Knitted. Any colour, Any Design. Acrylic yarn please. We then make them into 'Sunshine Blankets'. Our Blankets have been so well received by the Elderly and they are certainly bringing smiles to their faces.

Apart from this we also have special Challenges which have deadlines and if you think you have time to join in why not follow the link to SIBOL CHALLENGES.

I'm very happy to be showing you SIBOL 358 would you believe! Our Blankets are certainly adding up. I wonder if we will hit 500? Let's hope so.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed Squares for this pretty Blanket they are so pretty. Can anyone think of a name for this Blanket? Why not leave a comment or mail me Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

Let's take a look now.

Thanks to everyone who contributed Squares for this Blanket.

The Squares are amazing and I love all the colours used.

Also would you like to make a Blanket for SIBOL? Roughly measuring 37 to 38". A design of your choice.
All details are on the same website please follow the link.
Thank you for stopping by.

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!
