What a lot of colour!

Good Evening and Welcome to the 'SIBOL' Blog,

Thank you for visiting me today!

I am very happy to be showing you three beautiful Granny Square Blankets today. They have arrived from my friends in Spain 'Sonieta and her dear Mother'. Sonieta tells me her Mother loves making Granny Squares and they have such fun making them into Blankets for 'SIBOL'. I really think this is terribly kind of them both. To send the Blankets all the way from Spain really makes me feel quite emotional. I am so pleased that they think 'SIBOL' is worthy of their time and I am very grateful to both of them for all the hard work they have put into these Blankets.

I love all the colours in these Blankets and I have asked them both to think of some names. I am hoping to get these Blankets delivered to the home as soon as I can. They are so pretty, a great size and are so warm. Absolutely perfect I love them.

Let's take a look closely now.

I have had fun this afternoon taking photos. I do hope the Slide Show works for you.

Sonieta has a great Blog, why not pay her a visit!

Here's the Link.

Sonieta please thank your Mother for me.

I am over the moon with these gorgeous Blankets.

It really is very kind of you both.

Thank you!

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!
