Our Marie Curie Daffodil Blanket to be auctioned on EBAY.

Good Afternoon,

442 'Marie Curie Daffodil Blanket' to be auctioned on EBAY to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Thanks to all for contributing these beautiful Squares.

I am writing three seperate posts this afternoon to showcase our beautiful Squares and Blankets. So please scroll down.

I have to say a massive thank you to 'jessiebonbon' on RAVELRY. 'jessiebonbon' has very kindly offered to make a Daffodil Blanket up for me so that we can auction it on EBAY for Marie Curie Cancer Care. I would like to thank everyone for the Daffodil Squares received for this Blanket. The Blanket has turned out so well, the Squares are gorgeous and 'jessiebonbon' has made a great job of assembling. The simple border really finishes it off so...well! I just love it.

Finally I have the Slide Show working, I hope it is for you!

Created with flickr slideshow.

A lot of hard work has gone into making these Daffodil Squares from Ladies all over and I do hope we can raise some money for Marie Curie Cancer Care here in the UK. A very worthwhile cause.

Not only has 'jessiebonbon' helped me assemble but she also made these Challenge Squares. Some really good ideas many thanks I love them.

'jessiebonbon' - Challenge Squares have arrived many thanks.

Thanks to everyone!

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.

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!
