Three Knitted Blankets arrive today!

Good Evening!

I'm very grateful to Sally today because in the post this morning I received back three Blankets. Sally has been helping me put some Knitted Squares together. Well I say 'Squares' I also had 'Rectangles'. I do prefer 6" Squares of course but as I have said many times we try our best to use everything up. I hate to see anything wasted when I know a 'Crafter' has spent a lot of time making them for us.

The Squares were received from Mari and the Craft Group at the 'Kilmarnock & Eichless' Parish Church in Scotland and also Glynis gave me a lot of Rectangles from a friend of hers. I'm sure you will agree Sally has put together three fantastic Knitted Blankets.

Let's take a look at them now.

In this one Sally made some Crocheted Squares and added them to the Knitted ones. A great idea. I love this Blanket.

Thanks to everyone who sent in these 'Rectangles and Squares'.

This one reminds me of Bricks.

I love the colours in this one.

Thanks to everyone who sent in these 'rectangles'.

This one is called 'Sugar Almonds'.

I love all of them thank you for sending the 'Rectangles and Squares' in everyone and I am very grateful to you Sally for your help.

A Slide Show for you. Would you let me know if you have a problem viewing it please

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.

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!
