Warm Blankets for the Elderly.

Good morning and welcome to 'SIBOL'.

A very wet miserable day here in the UK today, let's have a look at some new Sunshine Blankets to cheer us up. The Squares in these Blankets have been made by 80 year old Grace and once again we have put together some wonderful Blankets. These Blankets are so warm and ideal for our Elderly.

More Squares from 80 year old Grace.Thank you!

Grace lives in Sheltered accommodation in Birmingham and she really enjoys making Squares for our Group..

How can I refuse when it gives her so much pleasure.

It also gives her hands exercise.

I know these Blankets will be loved by another Elderly person.

Thanks Grace.

Second post today!

I receive Squares from Kianie thank you very much!

Two brilliant Squares for our Festival Challenge.

'Wine' and 'Scarecrow'

Also a Square for our 500th Blanket. A really good idea Kianie.

I love the bubble effect using beads.

Lovely ideas thank you very much I am so pleased you have joined us.

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!
