500th Square and a superb Granny Square Blanket arrive today!

Good afternoon,

I'm very pleased to be showing you a Square for our 500th Blanket. It has been made by MarilynJG here in the UK. We have recently reached our 500th Sunshine Blanket and we have decided to make a special 'party theme' Blanket to celebrate. All parties have cake and just look at this Square! It has been made on Marilyn's sewing machine and this is going to look fantastic in our Blanket. Crochet around the edges couldn't be better.

Marilyn '500th Square' So beautiful well done! Thank you! Let's have a party!

Do you remember the other ones she made? Here they are.... Absolutely wonderful thank you Marilyn!

Marilyn JG. Thank you! Squares for our 500th Sunshine Blanket! Want to join us? Please do.

If you would like to join us there are still spaces available?

Pop over to RAVELRY on this link.

I also received a superb Granny Square Blanket in the post today from 'jean nock'.

Each Square is different as you can see using lots of spare yarn and it's another wonderful Blanket for the Elderly. This is a great size and I know it will be very well received at one of the homes.

Thank you very much 'jean nock'

509 'jean nock' thank you so much ! Gorgeous!

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

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!
