A busy week here at 'SIBOL'

Good morning to you all!

Thank you so much for taking the time to pop in to the 'SIBOL' Blog.

I have had a really busy week here at 'SIBOL' HQ, with lots to show you so I do hope you will scroll down and read the previous posts.

This morning I have received two beautiful Blankets from Liztelf who lives in Cumbria here in the UK.

423 'Effin Braids' (Right) 422 ? 'Liztelf' (UK) Thank you!

Liztelf is one of our members on RAVELRY and with the support of other 'SIBOLETTES' she is always trying new techniques. Flat braid joining has now been mastered and Liztelf has made a most beautiful Blanket which she has kindly donated to our 'SIBOL' project for the Elderly.

I'm really pleased Liztelf you have enjoyed making this Blanket using the method, it certainly is a stunning Blanket. What a difference this method makes.

Secondly, we have a beautiful Granny Square Blanket. The centre is made in variegated yarn and I just love the plain border around the edge. Butterflies from my SIBOL Stash finish the Blanket off along with some Ribbon I also had donated to our project.

A lot of time has gone in to the making of these Blankets, thank you so much for making them I am very grateful to 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

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!
