A bumper delivery today!

Good Evening to you all!

Well what a day! A bumper delivery of Blankets arrived today 6 Blankets in fact along with Butterflies, and Stash/Challenge Squares. I would like to thank everyone who has sent them to me. I do hope you will scroll down a few posts and view the work that has arrived today.

I have to thank Sally, 'theemuts', Maria, 'creativegranny' and 'jilleebee'' for Squares, Blankets and Butterflies received today.

Before I show you them may I thank everyone who sends me emails telling me how much they enjoy looking at the 'SIBOL' Blog. I agree with you all we do have some wonderfully talented Ladies all over the World. It is a pleasure to be able to work with your Squares.

First of all may I thank 'jilleebee' for a beautiful set of Butterflies and Ribbons received today. These Butterflies will be extremely useful. If you would like to have a go please follow this link. Ribbons too will be great to decorate our Blankets. Many thanks I am so pleased you have enjoyed making the Butterflies.

'jilleebee' (UK) Butterflies and Ribbons Thank you!

The Marie Curie Cancer Care Challenge has been great fun.

Our aim is to make 9 Blankets to donate to the 9 Hospices up and down the Country hopefully helping them fund raise or exhibit in their building.

I would like to thank everyone that has helped me.

I do not need Daffodil Squares anymore BUT if you are having a go at Lucy's Square please send them to me. I will be able to use them in future Blankets for SIBOL.

It's always difficult to judge what is going to come in for our Challenges but I can assure you I will be able to use any Squares already made one way or another.

I am terribly grateful to 'creativegranny' who has very kindly asssembled 25 Daffodil Squares for me. I'm sure you will agree the Blanket she has put together is beautiful.

Here it is.

Thanks to everyone who sent in Squares for this Blanket. Gorgeous!

So....pretty 'creativegranny' thank you very much!

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!
