Squares from Hungary and Canada arrive today!

Good Afternoon and welcome to 'SIBOL'.

This morning I received two Square deliveries.

The first one was from Edit's Mother who lives in Hungary.

These Squares are beautifully made and once again will be put into blankets for the Elderly.

I would like to thank you very much for sending them across the miles, I am very grateful to you.

What a wonderful set of Squares! x

Edit's mother in Hungary sent in these beauties! Thank you!

Our other set has arrived from lynnw63 (RAV) who lives in Canada. She has sent in Squares for our Butterfly Challenge and also three Daffodil Squares for the Marie Curie one. I only need 3 Daffodil Squares now. If you would like to make any please mail me and let me know. sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

We have actually made 8 Marie Curie Daffodil Blankets. I am waiting for the last one to come in from the Netherlands and then I can send them off to the 9 Hospices up and down the Country. The extra blanket which these Squares will be put in to will be auctioned possibly and proceeds will go to Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Daffodil Squares (only 3 more needed now!) Thank you.

Such wonderful Squares thank you very much too lynnw63!

Superb!

Thanks very much for popping in to 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

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

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!
