'Garden Trellis'

Good afternoon and welcome to 'SIBOL',

A busy day today here at 'SIBOL' HQ. I have received Squares and a blanket so I'm really pleased you have popped in.

The Squares have arrived from Richtje in the Netherlands and if you would like to scroll down you will see them. Fantastic Squares thank you so much for making them.

SIBOL CHALLENGES.

Today I have received 'Garden Trellis' from Gina here in the UK. What a stunning blanket this is! Gina has very kindly suggested this name because it reminds her of square trellis with flowers on.

'Garden Trellis' made and donated by Gina.

Just look at the Squares in this blanket all made in such wonderful co-ordinating colours. What a beautiful summery blanket. Gina also very kindly made three Butterflies which she very kindly attached and I have added some Ribbon from my stash too. Your work is so beautiful Gina and I am very grateful to you for donating it for the Elderly. Thank you so much, what a treat for someone.

I've made a Slide Show for you Gina, sit back and enjoy!

I do still need 3 more Squares for our Daffodil Challenge. We have enough now for the 9 Blankets for the Marie Curie Hospices but I would like to make one more Blanket to raise money for Marie Curie. So if you are interested then please let me know how many you want to make.

Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net thank you!

Did you see the Thank you card from Solihull Craft Group? Please scroll down if you didn't. It's so pretty and hand made by Julia.

As always I am terribly grateful to you for Squares that I receive and indeed Blankets.

Please check out UK's Postal Rates because they have recently changed and I wouldn't want you to be caught out with the charges. It's madness now.

Perhaps you would like to use a courier to send your Blanket?

Why not use Parcel2Go?

Here's the link.

If anyone would like to make and donate Blankets 'Knitted or Crocheted' to the 'SIBOL' project I am very pleased to receive them.

My address is available from

Thank you so much.

All Blankets are delivered by myself to local Homes in my area and I'm very pleased to say that Gina's Blanket is SIBOL 399!

One more to 400!

Thanks as always for your support!

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!
