'Rainbows' and 'Firecracker'.

Good Evening and Welcome!

I am very pleased to be showing you two superb 'Sunshine Blankets' made and donated by Kathy here in the UK. What delightful Blankets sent for the Elderly! The first one is called 'Firecracker' and you will be able to see why. Made in really bright firey colours this is a very warm Granny Square Blanket.

The second one is made with strips of trebles and it's called 'Rainbows', how bright and cheerful this one is too!

Kathy thank you so much for making these two fantastic Blankets. They are so lovely and I'd just like you to know they will be very well received by one of the Homes.

I would like to say at this point that if anyone else is in the process of making Squares or Blankets for the Elderly. If at all possible would you be able to get them to me by the end of November please. I shall be going out to deliver our Blankets first week of December and these will be my final deliveries for 2013.

Would you like to email me and let me know, thank you. Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

If anyone has Squares for our Jersey Textile Showcase, would it be possible please to send them off to me to arrive no later than 30th November please. I'm eager to get this Blanket finished before Christmas.

I don't usually go out to the Homes during December very much as I have my Christmas shopping to do, I'm sure you will understand. I would like to thank everyone who has supported 'SIBOL' throughout the year you have all been super. We certainly have had a very successful year once again.

Kathy, I have made a Slide Show for you thank you so much!

Thanks for popping in today!

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!
