Two new 'Sunshine Blankets'

Good Morning to you all!

I am very happy to be showing you two Blankets which arrived yesterday.

The first one has been made by Lesley here in the UK. I just love this pattern and especially because it's been made in such striking colours. I love the border too which finishes it off beautifully

I'm really grateful to you Lesley, thank you very much indeed. Let's take a look now.

Lesley (UK) 363 - 'Webbed Lace' (2) Made and donated by Lesley. Thank you!

I shall be taking this Blanket to the Home very soon, thank you!

The second Blanket was sent to me by Rhuskdog (RAVELRY).

It was made by Ladies of the 'Sandiacre Knit and Natter'.

Each of the Ladies made separate Squares and Crocheted them together.

I am very grateful to everyone who took part in this Blanket. I love all of the Squares especially the Knitted Owl I can see.

Rhuskdog (RAV) 362 'Knit 'n Natter'. Made and donated by 'Sandiacre Knit and Natter'.

Thanks to everyone who sent in Squares both Knitted and Crocheted.

I would also like to show you a Square that arrived today from 'Rhuskdog' (RAV)

I think this will be ideal for the 'Gardening Challenge'.

Rhuskdog (RAV) (UK) 'Gardening Challenge' Thank you!

Superb! Thank you all very much indeed!

Thank you for visiting 'SIBOL' today!

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

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!
