'Lavender & Lace'

Hello everyone!

Thank you for visiting today!

I am very pleased to be showing you a superb Blanket which has arrived from Jayne who lives in Bournemouth. Bournemouth is right down on the south cost of the UK and when the sun is shining a beautiful part of the country. This was one of our holiday destinations when my twin daughters were little.

Jayne has very kindly made and donated a Granny Square Blanket to the 'SIBOL' project and I'm absolutely over the moon. It has been made so nicely and in such great colour combinations. I just love
the centres in the Squares. Her Husband has very kindly chosen the name 'Lavender & Lace' which is perfect.

Jayne also sent me in some Butterflies for our stash and they will be so useful. I warn you these Butterflies are so....addictive! Would you like to try making them? Here's the link over to Netties Blog in Australia.

I'm sure you are longing to see the Blanket Jayne sent in. Here it is.

This really is a pretty Blanket. I love these colours. How kind thank you!

Another Blanket for the Elderly in Care Homes, I am very grateful to you Jayne. Thank you!

Have a nice day!

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!
