Festivals Squares arrive today.

Good Morning and welcome!

It's so nice to be popping in this morning to show you some fantastic Squares we have had come in for our 'Festivals' Blanket. As you can see 'madaboutpooh' over on RAVELRY has covered quite a few Festivals in her Squares. We have a Square for the 'Music' Festival, one for a 'Balloon' Festival. Another for a 'Flower' Festival and a Shamrock Square for 'St. Patrick's Day' Festival. These Squares really are lovely and are going to look great in our special Blanket. With the Squares I have also received some Butterflies and Flower embellishments which we can add to our Blankets. I also love the little cards you have made which are attached to your Squares so good!

You really have made them beautifully 'madaboutpooh' thank you so much. Let's take a look at them now.

Our Jersey Textile Showcase Challenge will be ending 30th November and I am very eager to get the rest of the Squares in now. So if you would like to join us please pop over to the Link Here.

The Blanket will be assembled and then sent off to the Jersey Textile Showcase which is going to be held in March of next year. The Blanket will be exhibited and then sold to raise money for Macmillan nurses.

You are welcome to join in!

If you would like to ask me anything at all about our Blankets please feel free to contact me on

Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

I will be going to deliver the rest of our 'Sunshine Blankets' over the next few weeks as they are piling up again.

Thanks to everyone for supporting our 'SIBOL' project.

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.

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!
