You must pop in to see these beautiful Crocheted Blankets donated to the 'SIBOL' Group.

Good Morning to you all!

Our 'SIBOL' Blog is very fast moving and nearly each day I write new posts showing you what's new. I do hope you will scroll down to catch up.

Today I have received a bumper parcel from cosseted (Wales). The parcel was full of Butterflies, Squares and beautiful Blankets. I'm sure you are eager to look at what's new.

First of all 'cosseted' very kindly offered to make up a bag of 25 Squares for me. I would like to thank everyone for sending in these gorgeous Squares. I'm sure you will love the finished Blanket.

Thanks to everyone for sending in the Squares for this blanket.

It's great how Squares come together in a Blanket.

The next one involves our 'SIBOL' Butterflies.

'cosseted' has very kindly made a Blanket for our Butterfly Challenge.

This is so pretty. I love the colours, I love the pattern.

The pattern was given to us by Luna over in the States and I'm sure she would be very pleased to see how this has turned out.

Here's the link.

Simply gorgeous!

I am in happy land today!

The Blankets keep a comin!'

Another Blanket full of yummy coloured Squares. Just love it.

Wow! Amazing work.

Which is your favourite?

This was the last of the Blankets sent in by 'cosseted'.

Aren't they all amazing?

I also received some Squares from her

'cosseted' (Marion) Wales Thank you for the Squares! So pretty!

and some 'SIBOL' Butterflies.

'SIBOL' Butterflies are so pretty! Thank you!

If you are interested in making some gorgeous Butterflies like these ones for my

'SIBOL' Stash I'll be very pleased to accept them. I am always in need of

Butterflies to decorate our beautiful 'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly.

My friend Nettie in Australia has a great

video tutorial describing in detail how our Butterflies are made.

Here's the Link.

Well what a fantastic selection of Blankets received today from 'cosseted' in Wales.

They are just the prettiest things. I know that you have spent many hours making these Blankets and I just want to tell you that all your hard work is very much appreciated by myself and Ladies in the 'SIBOL' Group.

I can't wait to take these Blankets to the Homes, I know that they are going to be so well received.

Thank you so much.

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!
