Our 'Think Pinks' for 'Breast Cancer Care'.

Craft Talk/Delivery Day is on previous posts please scroll down. Thank you.

Good Evening to you!

I thought it would be nice to put our 'Breast Cancer' - 'Think Pink's on the web site this evening as it's a while since we saw them altogether.

These Blankets were made 'internationally by Members of the 'SIBOL' Group.

We have so far raised £300.00 from the sale of two of these beautiful Blankets.
It's lovely to have a look at the Squares again, there are some really interesting patterns here.

Each of our 'Think Pinks' are different and unique and some of the Ladies who made Squares for these Blankets have been affected themselves by Breast Cancer.

I have also put up a photo of the Craft Talk Display I was invited to attend last Monday. You will be able to see our Think Pink's on Display along with our Marie Curie Cancer Care 'Daffodil' Blankets.

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

What a pretty Blanket and how kind of you 'jean nock' to make this one for us. Think Pink (7).

'Think Pink' (6). 'Pink Ribbon'. So beautiful!

Thanks for visiting,

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

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!
